Acrobatic Ibrahimovic pass
Zlatan Ibrahimovic isn’t prone to sharing the ball with his team-mates. Given the choice between making a pass or shooting for goal, the Swedish striker will go for glory more often than not.
He does, however, make a habit of contorting his body in order to find the back of the net. And when there’s acrobatic limb twisting involved, he’ll pass the ball too. Take a look at this video.
The incredible circus pass to Dejan Stanković didn’t lead to a goal, but Ibrahimovic did make it onto the scoresheet. He grabbed the final goal in Inter’s 3-0 win over Lazio on Saturday. The Nerazzurri are now nine points clear at the top of Serie A.

See, even though you ought to love him for stuff like that, I just cannae bring myself to do it. He’s a selfish, arrogant arse who misses all the easy chances. If you watch the video that’s linked into the post above - the backheel flick - you’ll see what I mean. The ball’s barely in the net and he’s standing there givin’ it “How great am I?” in the middle of the pitch. Bleugh!
