Barcelona slam Zlatan Ibrahimović's selfish attitude
Table of Contents
Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta has laid into Zlatan Ibrahimović after criticising the forward's "selfish" playing style.
Former Barça and Spain goalkeeper Zubizarreta played a part in Ibrahimović's exit from the Camp Nou, agreeing a loan deal back to Serie A with AC Milan, and he has been discussing the qualities of the front man.
"If you see football in terms of individuals, or individual actions, Ibrahimović belongs on that list," Zubizarreta said during an interview with Barça TV.
"He is an extraordinary footballer but when I said the 'Ibra case' was a soccer issue it was because on the pitch you don't just play with the ball but also when you don't have the ball.
"You have to give your team mates options and there is also a great deal of tactical work to do.
"And you have to be able to do both things very well - your own individual play but also your role within the team."
