Life at Barcelona suiting Ibrahimovic

Ibrahimovic

“In Italy, the league is very hard. It’s very difficult to play in as an attacker,” Said Ibrahimovic.

“It’s another game, another mentality.”

“I wouldn’t say it’s 100 per cent focused on defence, but they want to be certain before attacking and generally run less risks,”

“In Spain you take more risks, because you want to score more goals. It’s another culture. The spectacle comes first here.”

At Inter Milan Ibrahimovic was very much the main man in an Inter Milan shirt with everything having to go through him, at Barcelona he is a key player but there are others helping provide that creative spark which has allowed him to express himself further.

The press in Italy is well known for making life difficult for players at times with Ibrahimovic taking a lot of criticism during his time at both Juventus and Inter Milan and he has highlighted this as another reason why life is much better in Spain with Barcelona.
