That La Liga Stuff
“Others who have departed the scene, such as the charmless Zlatan Ibrahimovic, have tossed a few darts into the wake left behind them, but that says more about them than it does about their targets. The Swede’s infantile dismissal of Guardiola as a ‘philosopher’ was both sour and pathetic . What’s wrong with philosophy if it brings in the trophies? Barcelona’s opening-day stroll at weakened Racing Santander was symptomatic of the directions the two clubs will take this year and of the gulf between them.” — Phil Ball, ‘That La Liga Stuff’

Pep has more than proved himself, I think, over the last few seasons. Its too bad that Zlatan’s style of play didn’t fit quite right with both Barca and la Liga, but really. You’re a professional. You should behave like one. Stop throwing temper tantrums and throwing around statements about how you should be treated like Lionel Messi because you’re just as special. The best way to prove to the manager and the fans that you’re just that special is to do your job, act like a professional, and enjoy your football. I, for one, will not miss you.
