Zlatan Ibrahimovic explains difference between the top leagues
“In La Liga, they try to play. They attempt to build from the back, even if the teams aren’t the best level”
“The Premier League has a high tempo, back and forth. Even if you’re a player with great technique, if you can’t control the pace, you won’t be able to play there.”
“In Italy, it’s very tactical, everything is studied. Defending is more important than attacking. It’s very difficult. When you come to play in Serie A as a forward and you’re on a team that focuses mostly on defending, it’s not easy. That’s why when you succeed there, it’s a great feeling.” Ibrahimovic concluded.
