Varför Zlatan fick lämna Barcelona


Det har spekulerats i saken. Här finns en artikel som belyser frågan:

So why did it all go wrong for Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Barcelona? He's clearly still a top marksman as his 14 goals in 29 league appearances in Milan's title triumph last season showed. Yet, Barca have certainly not missed him. This is because during his time there, Ibrahimovic forced Barca to compromise on their exalted, tiki-taka style of play.

He was less mobile than David Villa and Pedro (as well as latest acquisition Alexis Sanchez) and as a result Barca tended to hit more long balls to service the Swede. That made it easier for quality centre-backs to stifle Barca's point of attack - as Inter Milan did in the Champions League semi-final back in the 2009/10 season.

So while Ibrahimovic may be a better finisher than Villa and Pedro, Barca's attack is a more potent force without him. When Guardiola plays Villa and Pedro alongside Lionel Messi in the false nine role, his side look more threatening than they ever did with Ibrahimovic.
