FC Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was self-critical of his last two appearances and said “I can play much better”, but is also happy with the way the results are going.
People learn best if they admit to their mistakes, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic has told the press that
he was not happy with his last two outings. “When I play badly, I recognise that and I think
I played poorly in my last two games. I can play better” said the Swede.
“I don’t care about goal, only wins”
He hasn’t score since the game with Jerez, although he claims “I am not worried
not to have scored for some time. If the team wins, it doesn’t matter if I score. I was very
upset, for example, when we went out of the cup.”
“We can’t let Guardiola go”
On Josep Guardiola staying for another season, Ibrahimovic said “all of the
players wanted him to stay, he’s doing an excellent job. This news means we can all rest
easier … I never thought that a club like FC Barcelona would let a coach like Guardiola
go”.
Delighted with manager
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is full of admiration for Guardiola: “He is a coach that speaks a
lot to us. He is always telling us what to do better and is always on top of us, in training and in
matches. He thinks football 24 hours a day and that’s why he enjoys so much success”.

“It’s like I’m going to kill him”
He also joked about the way his large size means referees seem to blow more fouls against him than
he deserves. “When me and an opponent go for the ball, it looks like I’m going to kill
him because I’m so big. I’ll just have to get used to the way they do things in
Spain” said Ibrahimovic.
