The Zlatan Appreciation Thread

[The Infamous]

Any bum lick answer.

Known fact that Zlatan is a HUGE R9/Romario fan. Thats why he even played for Inter Milan cos his idol did btw

[Thizz]

Yeah but his toughest ever opponent?

There both strikers ffs.

[Mephisto]

The guy just turns up to finals

Copa

World

UEFA Cup

Cup Winners Cup

 

 

That UEFA Cup final performance is the best i've ever seen by a striker in a major competition. He was unplayable.

[Seydou]

Look at him here. Making man feel uncomfortable

Yeah its probably poor translation

Ronaldo is literally his idol him and Ali

[O Fenomeno]

World Cup is a complete different level of pressure to any other footballing event

It's also on a different level tactically to any club competition

There is no comparison between the WC and anything else

I agree

but tactically its similar as this years world cup showed, teams that relied on stars only got so far compared to teams with tactical coaches

/

so we all agreed that world cup greats are players who are just good in 3 week tournaments?

Name me world cup greats who weren't also club greats

I'm not down with guys who fail to get it up when it really matters no homo

Klose is on the same level as Messi/Cristiano

He breaks records on the world stage and gets found out in club football

They break records in club football and get found out on the world stage.

All of that time we were going back and forth comparing these two to the likes of

Maradona

Pele

Ronaldo

When we should of been comparing them to Klose

I say this because how can you be great on only one stage and air on another.

[Heero Yuy]

But Ronaldo never won the greatest thing you can win at club level

 

infact according to you man it's relativity easy to win a CL in comparison to a WC.

 

Ronaldo played for Real during the Galatico era + the best brazil team i've seen in my lifetime (arguable one of the best?)

 

Messi plays in the arguably one of the best clubs sides of all times and a good Argentinian side.

 

Argument is illogical because Ronaldo, Ronnie and Messi all have something missing from their honors list

[Agony]

I used Klose as an example because I just find it funny how he wouldn't get into most people's list of top 20 strikers(including mine) but in other arguments GOAT status is denied to players because 'they didn't do it at a World Cup.'

[O Fenomeno]

Ronaldo cannot be compared to anyone currently playing

The levels are low

Ronaldo took Brazil to the next level without him they would of never saw back to back WC Finals

[O Fenomeno]

Maradona never won CL

Took a fodder team in Italy and made them kings of Italy + UEFA cup winners

Ronaldo never won CL

Won a league title,UEFA Cup,Cup winners Cup

Maradona e Ronaldo both dominated outside club.

Messi y Cristiano Ronaldo

These guys have won CL and broke records at club level

Gone missing at World Cups even gone missing on home soil during their federation competition eg

Copa America

Euros

They can't even dominate their bread and butter

Ags like I said

Klose should be compared to Messi/Cristiano Ronaldo

History wise

All three are on the same level

You can't excel in one and not excel another

[Seydou]

"Porch, where would you like it, mate?

[Thizz]

 

[O Fenomeno]

World Cup 2010

Copa America 2011

World Cup 2014

Copa America 2015

World Cup 2018

 

[Agony]

Klose is like February 29th. Only turns up every 4 years.

If he didn't have the luxury of playing for the German team and was Portuguese he'd be any Helder Postiga in the history books.

[Mame Biram Diouf]

 

 

 

Dead bants

[O Fenomeno]

Irrelevant because we don't know what the outcome would of been.

If Klose is February 29th

Then them two guys are made of three seasons Autumn,Winter and Spring.

[Agony]

I can't compare someone that has only reached his full potential 12 weeks in his entire career vs Goku and Vegeta raising the bar for the last 10+ years.

[O Fenomeno]

Same way you cannot compare them to guys who were dominat in all four seasons of the year.

[Thizz]

Where does this all leave Zlatan he's only won 1 trophy that means anything by this logic?

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Porchy hates poachers and non-ballers but wants to bring up Klose's goal tallys as the benchmark for performing in a world cup when his actual performances offer nothing offer then the goals (which is not a problem to me tbh)

 

Just saying

A Swedish great

An Inter + PSG great

Thats about it

Just saying

I am using Klose as a counter arguement that he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as guys who only excel on one level and go missing at another level

Messi/Cristiano Ronaldo should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as The GOATS.

They performed all year round but these two take a month off every summer.

Another thing

Messi/Cristiano Ronaldo are world class/best of this generation but are not unique

Guys like this have been around before in the 60s 70s

Was never gonna win the world cup with Sweden.

Won leagues and cups but didn't and should have won the European cup similar to some of the other greats.
