Ibrahimovic slams Ronaldo award

Ibrahimovic slams Ronaldo award - Tuesday, January 27

Fresh from his coronation as Italian Player of the Year Zlatan Ibrahimovic branded the prestigious Ballon d'Or as nothing more than a popularity poll.

The Inter Milan striker was nominated for the award, voted for by sports journalists around the globe, but got nowhere near eventual winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who also went on to scoop FIFA's top gong, and let his bitter feelings be known.

"Now the Ballon d'Or has become a publicity stunt. It all depends on what people see in order to judge," Ibrahimovic sulked. "For me it is more important to win with the team rather than anything else."

Serie A winner Ibrahimovic may have forgotten that Ronaldo's team, Manchester United, won the Premier League and the Champions League, and later went on to be crowned world champions, while Ronaldo himself scored 42 goals.

I think the bottom paragraph of the article says it all. Hopefully we beat them, with Ronaldo scoring, and then we have even more reason to laugh at Ibrahimovic.

What the fuck is he smoking ?

Apart from Kaka every other top player right now is bitter .. What is the world coming to ?

to tell you the truth, i couldnt see ibrahimovic win this. The year he wins this is the year when the whole footballing world records a massive slump in performance level. It would be the year that titus bramble would be a contender for defender of the year. It will be the year that Glenn Roeder will manage on of the top four (in the premiership, not the championship) and not get sacked. It would be the year when peirce morgan has something to say about football that may actually be at least 3% factual or correct.

so yeah, its probably never gunna happen? and if it did we ought to hang our heads in shame.

I cant see for the life of me how any player in the world can moan at Ronaldo winning it last year. He is at the most competetive and physical league in the world but still managed 42 goals, loads of assists and some really amazing performances. I dont think imbrahimovic came close.

Ibras the best. He always has great quotes. He's a loon for sure but funny stuff is always coming from his yapper.

Zlatan - “First I went left, he did too. Then I went right, and he did too. Then I went left again, and he went to buy a hot dog.”

Reporter - “Is your playing style Swedish or Yugoslavian?”
Zlatan - “It’s Zlatan-style.”

Reporter - “You’ve got some scars in your face, Zlatan. What has happened?”
Zlatan - “Well…I don’t know…you’ll have to ask your wife about that”

Zlatan - “Absolutely not. I have ordered a plane. It is much faster.” (Zlatan about the rumour that he bought a super-Porsche)

Reporter - “Do you think it’s even possible for Ajax to lose nine points in nine games?”
Zlatan - “According to my calculations it is possible to lose nine points in only three games.”

Reporter - “What would you name your son?”
Zlatan - “Zlatan Jr.”

Zlatan (about how time stopped as he stood waiting on the side line to come in against Argentina in the World Cup.) - “You could have punched me in the face, I wouldn’t have noticed.”

Reporter - “How many one night stands have you had in total?”
Zlatan - “I don’t do that stuff. For me it is romance and love…right?”

Zlatan (Answer to criticism from John Carew that Zlatan’s moves are pointless.) - “What Carew does with a football, I can do with an orange.”

I think it is all head games here. I think everyone who is reasonable can admit, based on last year, Ronaldo deserved the award. Hell, I keep forgetting that he's already got something like 11 goals this year, and he's been relatively anonymous doing that.

I gotta say, I'm a bit nervous against Inter without Vidic.

I'm a bit worried too. Inter will be tough and Jose has a pretty good understanding of Fergie. I think we need to score at the San Siro. Inter are a quality team but at least they seem to under achieve in the CL.

Am going to think of jose as how i thought of Chelsea . They would know us , they would prepare for us , and am going to hope that we would surprise them , like we surprised them at moscow with hargo in the right en all .

Jose could scout every game of us from january , but fergie would have already thought of a genius move which would slap mourinho when it happens

That is all your honor..
