Kudos to Boateng for what he did.

And the only best way to stop that, is for the players to keep walking out.

Or the associations to start deducting points of that particular game from the home teams and award it to the visiting teams who were subjected to racial abuse, in both championship/cup games.

You clearly would have needed to do some research before writing this article. The reason to why he sometimes look like he is "slacking" is because he "saves himself" for the moments when he truly is needed.
As he had said in interviews and in his book, he weights around 100 kilos, therefore he explain that he would not be able to run around and work his as off like some other players. He belives that it is better to have all the energy and focus when the "right moment appears". I think that it was Van basten?, that tipsed Zlatan of this "tactic".

As i was told to stand up , i am standing up lollllllll.

On a serious note i think i am the worlds most talented striker, i am not harworking and i behave like a king sometimes,i admit i may be swtiched off sometimes and i also admit i rarely chase balls i loose on the pitch but one thing is for sure " what i can do nobody else can do"

@ the Pitcher,
You are in the wrong regarding Zlatan dividing the Swedish people in half. He is actually loved by the vast majority of the people – I would say 95% love him and his rambunctious personality. I live in Sweden and even some of my non-football interested friends turn to watch football games (even PSG games!) just because Zlatan is playing.
I am happy to hear though that you have forgiven him for whatever it was and welcome you to us 95% zlatanistas.

Zlatan is TOP THREE in the WORLD and I'll tell you why. He's won everywhere he's been but Barca. And why not there? Because play does not go thru a traditional Number 9 at Barca. EVERYTHING goes thru Messi. EVERYTHING.

Second, NO ONE in soccer can chest a ball down exactly where he wants it and create a shot off it like Ibra. NO ONE. And he's 6'5"!! For a player of his height to be as graceful as a ballerina is amazing. He also makes others around him better.

He CARRIED Milan last year. No Ibra? Milan would've finished 20 points in back of Juventus last year. Guys like Nocerino and Silva became better players because of Ibra, as well as inspiring the likes of current Serie A MVP El Shaawary. How's Milan looking now?

He's won domestic titles everywhere and is usually marked by the other team's top defender. Yet, he scores 30 a year. Messi and Ronaldo have ALL-STAR teams around THEM, but even with PSG's big spending who has CARRIED the team so far this season? Yep.. Ibracadabra.

People who hate Ibra will always hate him. But when you talk about the Top This or Top That in soccer for the past 10 years, Ibra is Top Three in any knowledable fan's view. He's a winner. Period. Not to mention he scores over 70% of Sweden's goals. Does Messi for Argentina? Does Ronaldo for Portugal? Not even close.

I'll take Ibra on my team any day. I miss having him as a Juventino. But I can still appreciate him and adore watching him play. We as fans are lucky to witness his magic!!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is growing in stature all the time. Scores awesome goals and makes decisive passes to better placed colleagues.

Opponents find it difficult to read or predict what Ibra will do next. Same is not the case with other superstars from Europe and Latin America. Good for club and country fans and not so for rivals.

Ibrahimovic needs to go back to his roots and play for Croatia or Bosnia.

Ok, seriously...

He´s the only player in the history of fotball to become top scorer 3 times in seria A with 3 different clubs.

He's carried every team he's played for to the league title. Ajax, Juve, Inter, Barca, Milan

And lets take a look at some stats just from his latest 3 clubs:

FC Barca, (where he supposedly did not deliver any results):

He set a new club record and became the first player ever to score in his 4 first games (7 goals in 7 games).

Total:
46 Games, 22 Goals and 13 assists, this while beeing injured large parts of the season. 0,76 points per game.

AC Milan

85 Games, 56 Goals and 27 assists. 0.97 points per game

PSG so far

14 Games, 12 Goals and 5 assists 1.21 poists per game.
