🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:
“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.
Not because he's my friend.
Not because of nostalgia.
Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.
I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.
It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.
One step to the left, defenders follow.
One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.
One glance over his shoulder panic.
That's not football.
That's psychological warfare.
And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.
They don't understand what they're watching.
Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.
He's Argentina's system.
He's their confidence.
He's their belief.
He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.
People ask me about the GOAT debate.
What debate?
Seriously.
What debate?
For me, there isn't one.
The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.
When I watch football, I don't see a debate.
I see Messi.
Then I see everybody else.
That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.
It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.
And today was another reminder.
He didn't need a hat-trick.
He didn't need to score from 40 yards.
He just needed to be Lionel Messi.
And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.
That's greatness.
Not when everything depends on you.
When everybody becomes better because you're there.
I've played against great players.
I've played with great players.
But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:
'This isn't normal.'
The scary thing?
Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.
And they still can't stop it.
That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.
Some players become legends.
Some players become icons.
Messi became a category of his own.
And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...
You're asking the wrong question.
The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”
🗣 Zlatan Ibrahimovic salió a defender a Miguel Almirón 🇵🇾 tras su expulsión vs Turquía:
"La están llamando la 'Ley Vinícius', enviando a los jugadores al vestuario solo por ponerse una camiseta sobre la boca durante una discusión.
Cuando Zlatan jugaba, los defensores se tapaban la boca porque estaban aterrorizados de que los devorara vivo. Ahora, los árbitros y la IFAB están intentando controlar palabras que ni siquiera pueden oír.
Si un oponente te provoca, no necesitas un oficial en una oficina en Canadá que te proteja con una nueva regla. Metes el balón en el ángulo superior y los haces callar. Esa es la verdadera sanción".
DURAS PALABRAS de Patrice Evra sobre Pep Guardiola y el fútbol:
“Creo que Guardiola es uno de los mejores DTs, pero GUARDIOLA PERJUDICÓ EL FÚTBOL.
"No lo digo por ser del United… ahora tenemos ROBOTS, desde la academia todos quieren jugar como Guardiola. El arquero tiene que ser un número 10, un central tiene que trabar y poner la cabeza, pero ahora todos quieren jugar increíblemente."
"Ese tiki-taka sólo lo puede hacer Guardiola, ¿por qué todos lo están copiando?"
"No tenemos creatividad, ya no tenemos genios. Jamás volveremos a ver un jugador como Ronaldinho, o como Hazard. Porque cuando sean chicos sus entrenadores le dirán: “SI NO PASAS LA PELOTA TE MANDO AL BANCO”.
"El fútbol real viene de la calle"
La gente no come vidrio. Excelente el hincha de Racing en silbar al secanuca Di María. Cómplice de la corrupta AFA y la relación entre el equipo del poder Rosario Central y el “Chiqui” Tapia. Y no es con todos; con Paredes no pasa. Solito se ganó el odio
🤯🇧🇷 Brasil perdía ¡0-2! en la tanda vs Paraguay en el Mundial Sub-17 y pasa esto:
El arquero provoca a Tiaguinho, pidiéndole que LO MIRE A LOS OJOS, él lo mira y le hace seña que se la va a tirar a un palo.
SE LA PICA y luego Brasil GANA 5-4, LOCURA. �
