Ibrahimovic, possibly the most profitable signing

Another. In both marked against Bologna last weekend, Ibrahimovic added another goal to its short but successful career as AC Milan. In just three months, Ibra has become the benchmark of Milan who longs to recover the hegemony transalpina after five years in office interest. In Milanello smile again after the decline of the stage Ancelotti and the difficult transition to Leonardo, and the Swede is the undisputed star of the Rossoneri revival. I do not go so far as to say that the former is the signing of Barcelona's most profitable last European market.

AC Milan now leads the overall lead with 36 points and opened at a distance of six points on the chase. Ibrahimovic has scored nine goals so far in the league after 16 rounds played and four in the Champions League. In total, 13 goals in 21 matches, but to say that the importance of the front is limited to the goals is to stay very short. A goals scored must be added six assists and, above all, what it means for Milan Ibrahimovic. He is the axis around which revolves all around Milan, the offensive weight rests on his boots and he alone is responsible for instilling fear in the opposing defense.

His game goes beyond the typical striker: Allegri granted complete freedom of movement and Ibrahimovic as dropping a banda grateful if needed, coming from the second line if you see that is the best option and partnering if the game you need to. If the Swede has the ball not be surprised to see him dragging a few defenses, leaving holes for his teammates, something that Robinho is thanked in the form of goals.

Hardly a good performance in Italy Zlatan is amazing, no wonder it dress shirts and three teams in the country and has emerged as a major player with each of them. With Juventus, where he arrived from Ajax, formed alongside Trezeguet Del Piero and a fearsome front and in his first year in Italy, scoring 16 goals. The Moggigate involved the departure of several key players and the Old Lady was forced to sell to Swedish to Inter, where the striker was confirmed as one of the largest on the continent scoring 57 goals in 88 games spread over three seasons.

His arrival in the Spanish league with a resounding and expensive operation in the middle, was full of expectation and the Swede did not start too bad the season went for almost a goal per game. However, a tactical change made by Guardiola Messi improved performance to place him more focused, closer to Xavi and Iniesta, but sacrificed the from Ibrahimovic. Ibra had gone to take the lead in Italy to be part of an orchestra. Entrenched in a system that was coupled to its virtues, too corseted in a fraction of the pitch as if in a straitjacket shackle their movements, the start was the best solution for club and player.

And these appeared Galliani, good fishing in troubled waters, and made a pact with Barcelona a transaction which would be given ibrahimovic San Siro this season in exchange for the total of its high card, promising to pay 35 million at the end of the season - Barca took him a year before Eto'o 45 more. Viewing performance Ibrahimovic, at full maturity, is offering in Milan, the signing has been a success. In a market where money is tight, players like Van der Vaart, Tottenham, Krasic and the Juventus Quagliarella, Di Maria, Khedira, Özil and Carvalho in Madrid, Villa in Barcelona, Toure and Silva at Manchester City, Cavani Huntelaar in Naples or in the Schalke represent some of the signings are offering more performance, but none comes to the importance and significance of Milan Ibrahimovic.

Such is the enthusiasm it arouses in the Giuseppe Meazza and his name is associated, in an audacious comparison with the Rossoneri legend Marco Van Basten. It may sound crazy, but the fact that the Swedish name mentioned next to the Dutchman speaks clearly of the importance acquired, as once had the great Marco, Milan Ibrahimovic in the present, a sleeping giant and wake up in Italy and will seek to do the same in the old continent.
