Wenger calls PSG’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic better than Messi and Ronaldo

October 28, 2013 by 888Scoreonline

It is not uncommon to see a team going over the sky when it leads the league tally, coz English premier league enjoys the status of being one of the most exaggerated leagues in the world where words are more powerful than what you actually do in the field. This season, Arsenal is leading the leaderboard thanks to its brilliance show until now and that is why its manager is also on the sky. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Sweden forward who has been a successful spell this year with as many as 11 goals under his belt, is being claimed as better than Messi and Ronaldo by Arsenal manager. Apparently, this statement looks to be made out of heart not from mind or Wenger is trying to make him a hero by comparing him with two biggest soccer starlets of contemporary soccer. Frenchman’s belief on striker could be natural but he still needs to prove his worth against Messi and Ronaldo. Ibrahimovic plays for PSG and has a wonderful spell so far this season and who can forget his four brilliant goals against Anderlecht off late.

Those who have seen him playing know how powerful he is with a complete hold over the ball; perhaps he somehow recalls former legendries of the game. Still, it is too early to stand him in line with Barca and Real starlets. Actually, his stay at Parc des Princes came into the limelight when he was rumored by the media and linked with other clubs, but later he put a dot on those stories and signed a contract extension for Ligue 1 champions which knocked him in France until 2016.

Wenger is the same man who called Ibrahimovic for a trial when he was just 17 and now he is praising his old charm again. Many are calling his compliments as his attempt to call his former lure back to Emirates Stadium. On the other side, 32-year-old striker also remembers his response when he was initially called by the 64-year-old French, he then replied, “Arsene gave me the famous red and white jersey – the number nine shirt with Ibrahimovic on it and I was so pleased I even posed for a picture wearing it… So then I waited for him to convince me that I should join Arsenal. But he didn’t even try. He never actually made me a serious offer, it was more, ‘I want to see how good you are, what kind of player you are. Have a trial… I thought ‘You either know me or you don’t and if you don’t know me you can’t really want me’.”
