      Uli Peterson not an accurate statement. He only had an issue with one coach “Guardiola” every other coach have always commended his will to win and hard work. Which is why he wins league titles left and right. His ego could be overbearing for a few, but his teammates loved him to include Balotelli’s crazy-ass. Too bad he never won the Champions League.

    • @Favorites324

      Uli Peterson so do you think Zlatan sees himself as a lesser player than Messi? Don’t get me wrong Messi is the goat of this era, but if you bring someone like Zlatan to your team, it’s not to be a bystander and he’ll let you know about it. Zlatan faced off with many top managers, but his only issue with Guardiola was that he was two faced and talking behind his back. Zlatan called him out for it. Guardiola has been called out for this many times.

      Alina Ontarion oh Lordy here we go again. Read again, my comments are directed to Zlatan’s personality. If you bring him on your team he expects to be used to his full potential even when it’s playing alongside Messi.
      As for the greatest of all time, I can’t give someone that label when he hasn’t even won the most prestigious trophy of his sport. Pelé, Maradona, even Ronaldo 🇧🇷 can be thrown in that argument. Honestly, there are many that argue CR7 vs Messi nowadays. For the record, messi wins, but I can’t bash those that believe it’s CR7...at least his proven himself in many different leagues and teams.
      I’m pretty sure these comments are going to ruffle someone’s feathers.

    Zlatan was the first-choice striker for some of the biggest clubs in the world (Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, Milan, PSG, and ManU), and, at one point, was the best player in the world behind Ronaldo and Messi. Even at age 37, he is destroying the MLS. Vela is in his prime at age 30 and is playing in the MLS after bouncing around Europe before finally landing a starting job at Real Sociedad, a mid-table club in La Liga. Vela, in his prime, is barely keeping up with a man who is seven years older than him. While Vela is a good player, he is (and never was) near Zlatan's level.
