”One of the greatest goals I’ve seen”
Engelska kommentarer i samband med och efter Zlatan show. Och så några röster till.
Om Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Oliver Kay, The Times (via Twitter):
”After Gerrard's assessment of his int'l career ("6 or 7" out of 10), I just asked Ibrahimovic the same question. Answer? "Ten" Obviously.”
James Taylor, ESPN (via Twitter)
”It's Zlatan's world. We all merely ask for gruel on a cobbled street in it”.
Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United (via Twitter):
”Zlatan just silenced any doubters he had...ruthless tonight ”
Mina Rzouki, ESPN/Daily Mirror (via Twitter):
”Only Messi and Ronaldo are better than the great Zlatan. He is the artistic footballer. A perfect mix of ballet, martial arts & pure skill ”.
Steven Gerrard, England (ITV):
”Ibrahimovic's performance was certainly world-class. Credit to him, he scored one of the best goals I've ever seen live. It was his night”.
Tim Caple, kommentator Eurosport (via Twitter):
Good to hear a bit of grudging praise coming Ibrahimovic’s way from the country whose media view is still "he never does it in a big game".
Paul Kelso, Daily Telegraph (via Twitter):
”Zlatan made all four in a Champions League game last week. That turned out to be a warm-up”.
Pat Nevin, expertkommentator BBC Sports (BBC Radio Five Live):
”When he is on his form, and when he can be bothered, he is fantastic. His technique for that fourth goal was off the scale.The second goal was fantastic, and for the third goal, Joe Hart was at fault, but the power he got from 33/34 yards was spectacular. He is a hard, hard player to play against. In that form, it is hard to see anyone much better than him. His fourth goal was beyond perfection, it was magical".
Jan Aage Fjörtoft, fd norsk landslagsspelare (via Twitter):
”Zlatan, 31 years, 9 LeagueTrophies in 3 different countries, 85 games for Sweden, 39 goals got his breakthrough in England tonight".
Simon Rix, bassist Kaiser Chiefs (via Twitter):
”Ibra only turns up against shit teams. And he turned up tonight".
Jonas Olsson, Sverige (via Twitter)
”Unreal! I wonder what the English press will write about Zlatan tomorrow. Still not good enough?”
BBC Sports live text:
"The morale of tonight's story is, if you're planning a big celebration, don't invite Zlatan. Tonight was all about Steven Gerrard winning his 100th cap, but instead we all go to bed talking about Zlatan and his collection of wonder goals".
Om Zlatans fjärde mål
Oliver Holt, Daily Mirror (via Twitter):
”That is one of the best goals I've ever seen. Absolutely amazing strike from Ibrahimovic”.
Piers Morgan, mediapersonlighet (via Twitter):
”I am declaring that Ibrahimovic 4th goal the greatest in football history. Nobody else would have even tried that, let alone scored”.
Alexi Lalas, fd landslagsspelare USA (via Twitter):
”Zlatan just did something that even Zlatan would be impressed with”.
Grant Wahl, Sports Illustrated (via Twitter):
”Just a tremendous goal by Ibrahimovic—overhead kick from 25 yards vs England. Still time to get it on FIFA's goal of the year list?".
Jan Aage Fjörtoft, fd norsk landslagsspelare (via Twitter):
”My Top 3 goals EVER 1. Maradona vs England 1986. 2. Zlatan vs England 2012 3. Van Basten vs Russia. EuroFinal 1988”.
Tom Williams, nyhetsbyrån AFP (via Twitter):
”My word. Used to try and score goals like that fourth goal by Ibrahimovic on FIFA 98. Never came close. Even in training mode”.
Graham Taylor, fd förbundskapten England (BBC)
"The goal is so good that it is not about Joe Hart and the two centre-backs. He had no right to score from there, no right to take a shot. That is one of the best goals I have ever seen. What a fantastic goal, it has made this game one we will never forget”.
Om stämningen
Paul Kelso, Daily Telegraph (via Twitter under matchen):
”England fans mocking lack of noise at the Friends Arena. You do know no PL ground's exactly the Ali Sami Yen, don't you?”
Henry Winter, Daily Telegraph (via Twitter under matchen):
”England fans taunting the ex-Ajax, Juve, Inter, Barcelona, Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic with "you're just a shit Andy Carroll”.
Oliver Holt, Daily Mirror (via Twitter under matchen):
”Atmosphere not quite Allianz Arena. Bizarrely quiet. Pitch cutting up badly too”.
Sam Wallace, The Independent (via Twitter under matchen):
”Home crowd at Friends Arena virtually silent. With the roof on it's like playing in a leisure centre in a very quiet provincial town”.
Om invigningsceremonin
Henry Winter, Daily Telegraph (via Twitter inför avspark):
”This is in danger of turning into Monty Python and the Holy Grail”.
Rory Smith, The Times (via Twitter inför avspark):
”I don't want to alarm anyone, but there are three medieval knights - complete with horses - here. I think this may be a coup”.
Oliver Holt, Daily Mirror (via Twitter inför avspark):
”Friends Arena v impressive. Allianz Arena is best new stadium and this is like a smaller version of that. Glowing yellow + blue on outside”.
Tom Williams, nyhetsbyrån AFP (via Twitter inför avspark):
”Inauguration ceremony continues to tune of 'In the Air Tonight' by Phil Collins. Special request from Steven Gerrard?”.
