Apologies for the dig, gabriel. Unnecessary on my part.
I will point out 2 things about Seedorf v. IBra movement. IBra is a striker, a position you should movre a lot more than a midfield playmaker. Seedorf in CM is always available for the ball, controls it and moves it forward... that' what he should od. Naturally these players always 'look' like they r moving less they are not. Likr I said, i do not like Seedorf at CAM, because he lacks fitness to move enough for that position. But in CM, when he's got VBommel and another worker, it works well
Zlatan isn't lazy. Don't mistake that. But he does want the ball and wants time on it, which is not good in ucl. He has problem playing consistent one touch football unlike say sheva/kaka...robinho/pato/cassano etc.
I never said Ibra is bad, but he's VERY replaceable. We are not 'ibra dependent'. Finishing season without him, shows that. As soon as Robinho became comfortable in serie A, we didn't miss a beat. But I do think he's too static for UCL. He made barca more static, he makes milan static, he made inter static. If I had option between ibra/Pato or a CAM and pato.... i'd rather have CAM. I don't think IBra is capable of playing w/ a true CAM, because he wants ball too much.
But how about a peice of advice. Instead of just claiming i have 'blind hatred' and kind of provoking me, consider my points. I laid out some real tactical problems ibra imposes. Stuff he's done his whole career which is why he's always fallen short in UCL. Stuff he has capability to over come, but at the age of 30... do you really expect big change?
