HVIS DET HAR NOGEN INTERESSE

“Joining Barcelona was a childhood dream and I was walking on air. It started well but then Messi started to talk,” Ibra, 30-year-old, writes. “He wanted to play in the middle, not on the wing, so the system changed from 4-3-3 to 4-5-1. I was sacrificed and no longer had the freedom on the pitch I need to succeed.

“So I asked for a meeting with Guardiola – for a discussion, not an argument. I said I was being used in the wrong way and that they shouldn’t have bought me if they wanted another type of player. I told him what a friend had said to me – ‘you bought a Ferrari but drive it like a Fiat’,” the Milan striker adds in his book.

“The chat seemed to go well but then Guardiola started to freeze me out. I would walk into a room; he would leave. He would greet everyone by saying hello, but would ignore me. I had done a lot to adapt – the Barca players were like schoolboys, following the Coach blindly, whereas I was used to asking ‘why?’. I like guys who run red lights, not pedantic and strict rules. I tried to be overly nice, didn’t dare lose my temper.

“But after this I stopped trying to adapt. For example, at Barcelona, players were banned from driving their sports cars to training. I thought this was ridiculous – it was certainly not the club’s business what car I drive – so in April, before a match with Almeria, I drove my Ferrari Enzo to training and it caused a scene.”

The next incident took place after Barcelona’s semi-final exit in the Champions League, as Jose Mourinho’s Inter knocked them out. As reported by various media outlets, this is what Ibra has written of his “conversation” with Pep after the game: “(Guardiola) was staring at me and I lost it. I thought ‘there is my enemy, scratching his bald head’. I yelled to him: ‘you have no balls!’ And probably worse things than that. I added: ‘You are shitting yourself because of [Mourinho]. You can go to hell!’ I was completely mad.

“I threw a box full of training gear across the room, it crashed to the floor and Pep said nothing, just put stuff back in the box. I’m not violent, but if I were Guardiola I would have been frightened.”

Det er da herre dumt at skrive, at Pique ikke skulle have været nomineret.

Hm, Milan, det skulle ikke undre om de havde nogle uenigheder, ellers var han nok ikke røget videre så hurtigt. (Ok, lad instilling fra marts of og frem hjalp ikke...)

Men det er svært at sige hvad der er sket, for kun én af de to er sørgelig nok til at udgive en "bog" for at redde sit omdømme. Pep har vist allerede bevist at han trods alt tog den korrekte beslutning ved at vise Ibra døren.

Det var skam heller ikke for at forsvare Zlatan eller noget som helst, det var bare hvis det var nogen der havde lyst til at læse Zlatans version.

OK, jeg vidste ikke helt, hvor du ville hen.

Det er lidt synd med alt den snak, egentlig. Mon ikke han ville have fået en fin modtagelse på Camp Nou uden det? Han får hos mig stadig en fin stjerne for at være matchvinder i el Clasico. Det mål var meget Ibra´sk.

Ved ikke hvordan modtagelsen på Camp Nou bliver, men tror da at han er tændt - og dét vil publikum højst sandsynligt også være.

Foragt mod spillere der har tjent klubben er nu heller ikke noget jeg dyrker.

Det for vi desværre nok ikke at vide, da han jo var ude på Camp Nou.

Foragt er måske et stort ord, men han burde holde sin kæft, den kære Ibra.

Haha, nå ja :D - det er mig der sover i timen.

Mente nu heller ikke at der var dig der foragtede nogen, netop det modsatte :) Men at der var mange andre der gjorde.

Ærgerligt det ikke duet med Ibra Cadabra, kan ellers rigtig godt li ham. Synes han er i top 5-6 over de bedste spillere.. Men nøj jeg glæder mig til den selvbiografi kommer ud. Må bare anskaffe den og få ALT af vide!

Hvad er det for en signatur, Counter Attack? Man skal da naturligvis stemme på Eriksen, men hvis man absolut skal ramme forkert - så kan man passende stemme lige over Eriksen.
