Best striker in Europe? not a chance..over Van Persie or Ronaldo? Goes missing when the going gets tough. Tonight and a great example comparing the 2 Arsenal - Milan Champions league matches.
Wasn't including Messi or Ronaldo as they're not really traditional strikers as such. Players get this weird reputation when it comes to playing English sides, Messi had it a while ago about never scoring or playing well against English opposition. Week in, week out Zlatan scores goals wherever he is. He's played for Ajax, Juve, Inter, Barca and Milan and his scoring record for all them is pretty damn good. Before this season he had some ridiculous record of being in the side that won the league he was playing in for 7 years in a row or something.
Just because he doesn't turn it on in the rare occasion he plays against English teams doesn't make him an average/bad player. Yes he's a bit of a cock but he's like Cantona, in that borderline nutter/genius state. If he played in England everyone would be going wild about him. He is a fantastic player but he knows it and his attitude is dreadful.
