Zlatan is absolutly one of the very best players in the world, since pretty long time ago, he prooved year after year he dictates different teams in different leagues to league-triumphs, vs any team/defender he can outplay with both finess-teqnique, brute strenght, target, speed, reach, extravagance, beautyful unique goals, worldclass goalsense and gamesense - passing and so on, its like no other comparing to his style. He is totally unique complete striker package.
He is 31 now, not THAT fast and spectacular with highly frequent finesses compared to his early proffesional years of Ajax and Juventus but at this time more like i said complete teamplayer - leader, with humble attitude even if many takes him for the opposite. The so called kaky looks is somewhere forever "tatooed" in his soul, his personality originated from his tougher childhoodconditions - when he was more of an angry kid who fled the balkan war. His devotion was to proof the doubters wrong. But he is a really humble guy that matured drasticly, even thou who looks having this "kaky attitude", but its 99.9% these days comming from a man with much selfdistance and glimpse in his eye, always with a laugh/big smile.
OFC Sweden missed him today, im sure of that he could score first goal the outcome would be another, but friendly game is friendly game and guess Brazil had more focus than Sweden winning this match bcuz as stated before, this was a very special historical moment and place for Brazil football.
