Zlatan and PSG must do the impossible against “school boys” from Barcelona – Dagbladet.no

• Follow Barcelona – Paris Saint-Germain in Football Studio from 20.45!

(Dagbladet): PSG has a big task ahead of him at the Camp Nou tonight. With 1-3 in the baggage with him from France must almost a miracle that the French great team shall take further in the Champions League.

– We must think that we have to score and I am sure we will do it, but we have only a small chance to go further. We can not afford to concede and it is almost impossible here. All teams playing here in Europe concede at least one goal, says PSG manager Laurent Blanc before tonight’s battles.

Joyous news for Blanc is that Marco Verratti and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back after suspension. The latter returns to his old home to Camp Nou, where he spent 2009/10 season.



Not impressed

In this connection, Sky Sports picked out some of the Swede’s best statement in connection with Barcelona. Most will remember that Zlatan did not have much left over for former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola.

– You bought a Ferrari but you drive it like a Fiat, said Ibrahimovic about Guardiola “man-management” capabilities.

Zlatan was not impressed with his teammates either, which he believed were too kind.

– I had already gotten the impression that Barcelona was a bit like Ajax it was like being back in the schoolyard. None of the boys behaved like superstars, which was strange. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, the whole gang – they were like schoolboys. The best football players in the world stood with hat in hand, and I did not understand any of it. It was ridiculous, said Zlatan about his teammates in Barcelona.



Protest

He believed everyone in the team did as they were told, and that he did not fit in at all. Therefore, it ended up with just one poor season in the Catalan club.

Maybe the following episode had something to do with it.

– When I realized that I would sit on the bench in a game against Almeria, I remembered something that had been said, “Here in Barcelona dolls not in training at Porsches or Ferraris. “What kind of nonsense was that? I run the car I want, especially if I can annoy idiots. I jumped into my Enzo (Ferrari), put his foot on the accelerator and parked just outside the training facility, said Zlatan.

The season afterwards he had to carry the car to Milan, for football adventure continued in AC Milan in 2010.

Confident

Tomorrow Swede do something special if he will get the chance to win the Champions League trophy with his teammates. A trophy he has never won.

– Ibrahimovic do not doubt themselves on the pitch, he is very sure of himself. We have nothing to lose and he likes the kind of battle. We might prove that we were not properly screwed in the first fight, says Blanc.

In today’s second game takes Bayern Munich against Porto.
