Football Psychology 101

<What is so good about him? Well, he is big and strong and he scores spectacular goals. He is powerful in the air but he has got a very good touch and also brings other people into the game.
The reason he sometimes gets up people's noses is because of his relaxed-looking playing style, and of course his attitude too.
A big part of his game is confidence, or arrogance even. But I don't think it does him any harm. As a striker, it probably helps if you harness it in the right way.>

all phenoms arrogant

It is debatable if arrogance helps Ibrahimovic(he might not even be arrogant to begin with) but I agree with what Alan Shearer went on to say.


"That is the problem when you play for an international team that is not as strong as your club side and I am sure Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo would sympathise.
Ibrahimovic's scoring record for Sweden - 32 goals in 78 games - is still very good, but no matter how well he does it is clearly going to be very difficult for him to win anything with Sweden.
Like Ronaldo, he will always get the accusation that he cannot do it on the international stage, but look at the clubs he has played for and the trophies he has won as proof as to how good he is".
