Ibra ready to break records
http://football-italia.net/16756/ibra-ready-break-records
Zlatan Ibrahimovic could become the first Capocannoniere for two different Serie A clubs. Dave Taylor checks out the history books.
Tonight Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic goes into the Parma game with a chance to put a bit of air between himself and his main competitors for the Capocannoniere award. Udinese's Antonio Di Natale and Napoli's Edinson Cavani, who are second and third on 18 and 16 respectively, go head-to-head late Sunday evening, leaving Ibra with a great opportunity to heap pressure on the pair.
Not that the big Swede will care one way or another, as he is supremely confident in his own ability. “When I first came to Italy they said I don't score enough, but I won the Capocannoniere title so they cannot say that now,” he emphasised recently.
Last week he celebrated a half century of appearances for Milan in the 2-0 win over Lecce with his 19th goal in 21 games. If Ibra continues like this, with a goal every 96 minutes, he could become the first player to win the Golden Boot with two different Serie A clubs.
It would be totally unique, with the nearest comparisons coming from Christian Vieri, Luca Toni and Andriy Shevchenko. Vieri won the award in 2003 with Inter scoring 24, after he topped La Liga charts with Atletico Madrid in 1998 also with 24 goals. Toni won the top scorer award with Fiorentina in 2005-06 with 31, then after moving to Bayern Munich, he topped the Bundesliga charts with 24 goals a year later. Sheva's claim to fame came before his two titles with Milan in 2000 and 2004 with 24 goals, when he was top scorer in the Ukraine with 18 for Dynamo Kiev in 1999.
However, I guess you have noticed a trend here, that no-one has won it with two different Serie A clubs. In Italy the nearest anyone has come to achieving this unique record was Roberto Pruzzo. Playing for Genoa in 1977 and 78, he narrowly missed out to Torino's Paolo Pulici (21) and Francesco Graziani (21) respectively, coming second with 18 on both occasions before winning it outright three times with Roma in 80, 81 and 86.
There have been others. Roberto Baggio came close with three different clubs finishing second once and third twice with Fiorentina, Juve and Bologna respectively. Another modern Milan legend Oliver Bierhoff won it with Udinese in 1997 scoring 27 goals, then came third with 20 for the Rossoneri the following season to Udinese's Marcio Amoroso on 22 and Fiorentina's Gabriel Batistuta on 21.
This season Ibra had scored 15 (one more than his full total last season) in the first half, compared to his 12 in 2009, so he is on course to better that record. Certainly there's no doubt this has been achieved with an improved work rate and a superb passing game.
With both Antonio Cassano and Alberto Aquilani missing many games, Ibra has become Milan's creative fulcrum and he possesses such sumptuous skill that he reminds us why we put up with the dreary excesses of the game, that sometimes have the same effect as root canal work without anaesthetic.
For some Ibra has flattered to deceive and as always he divides opinions with even the slightest mention of his name provoking passionate pontificating. Yet whether you abhor him or adore him, there is no doubting his talent. With nine League titles for five different clubs in three different countries, he maybe on his way to another record.

How on earth was that antitheist at all?
Are you honestly gonna go around saying that every post even referencing evolution is antitheist?
That's like me going around saying that every post not referencing Judaism is Anti-Semitic.
Hypocrite? Lolno.
We've been over this before. And I see you've become almost corrupted by your sudden surge in Ross Perot-like popularity so it's almost become ridiculous to argue with you.
I've let a lot of 'homophobic remarks' slide, but the only thing I'm doing is mopping up all the needless homophobic tripe when I do complain.
Comprende?

I knew he would go to the GK's left for the PK. Too many times he's been going to the left and the last one against Arsenal barely crept inside towards the GK's right.
Maybe he should blast one in the middle up high as the next GK will be confused. Besides, that is an unstoppable pk to stop in FIFA 12 on the ps3.

Zlatan can walk up to the goalie and tell him exactly where he will put it, and still score.
That's his level.

Zlatan can take a giant crap in the penalty spot, and still score.
Now THAT'S his level.
Ibra will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't nearly foolish enough to attack him.
Ibra played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
Ibra can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.

Ibra had some brilliant moments and also scored from the penalty spot, but apart from that he was just average. I hope he was just trying to save energy for the tough matches ahead of us.

He had an off game today, didn't look like he cared much about the game after the second goal. I think he is saving himself for the barca game especially, he knows that it is one of his most important games in his career so far.

His passing today was average, that is about it. He had 2 great free kicks and should have had 2 PKs as he was clipped. The reason he was not given those 2 tackles inside the box is because of his stature and his unorthodox falling to the ground when he gets clipped.
GG big fella. Keep it up!

Ibra calmly walked his way to this victory.
Some lazy efforts and some world class touches.
He was denied a clear penalty and made 2-3 assists which should have resulted in goals. He made one mistake - not passing SES. But he was turning from the left clockwise, saw the goal before he saw SES. Whatever. Maybe he had an ego moment.
He knew from the start that we'd win and he would score.
His mind is 100% on Barca.
