Ibra has an impressive goal ratio: 17 goals in 19 matches, besides the assists. Some people claim that Milan lose 40% of their power without Ibrahimovic. Is it true?
"I can simply say that we are lucky to have Ibrahimovic. But it is a subject that I don't understand. Then let's take Messi away from Barcelona and see what will happen. Let's take Rooney away from Manchester United and let's see how it will go. And like if one had taken away Gullit, Van Basten and Rijkaard away from the Milan of the 80's."
Therefore?
"If all players were equal then you would win matches with the schemas...
Instead it seems to me that you obtain the successes with good players. You have to give ideas to the squad and a playing style, but it's one thing to have Magic Johnson on your team and another thing to have Diana, who used to play basketball at Livorno, on your team. If Ibrahimovic didn't play for Milan then he would be playing for an opponent.
Barcelona is playing good football, it's the strongest team in the world in terms of play, but if Messi didn't dribble past three players then they wouldn't win as many matches. Just like Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid."
