Since his arrival in France in the summer of 2012, Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic made clasico of his favorite game. This observation is required after the narrow victory (2-1) of the Paris-Saint-Germain against Olympique Marseille, Sunday, October 4, in closing match of the 9 th of Ligue 1. Scored twice, the bun striker gave his club an eighth straight win against its rival OM for three years.
In nine matches against OM, the center forward PSG has particularly scored eight times. The point of becoming his main executioner. Under the reign of Scandinavian, the Parc des Princes has become a stunning country house for the Olympians, who have not beaten the formation of the capital on his land since February 2010. The Parisian 10 number allows the club to settle firmly at the top of Ligue 1. Left Behind fifteen points from the irresistible leader, OM is currently an unflattering sixteenth place.
But it is with the trappings of an aging and worn-star Zlatan Ibrahimovic appeared on Ile lawn, after his 34 th anniversary. For the usual gunner had hardly made the cannons from the season begins. Before receiving the Olympians, he had to his credit only one banderille planted against Guingamp, September 22. His poor form was also pointed by the sports media, prone to worry about her “ Sport decline .” “ Ibra can do much better” had gritted his coach Laurent Blanc, the day before the clasico.
surreal Sequence
Positioned the tops of the Paris attack, the native of Malmo, at first, reinforced criticism of his detractors. Offbeat passes, any relative physical commitment and nonchalant attitude: the colossus seemed at first spectral and borrowed. A performance that was part of the lineage of his inconsistent performances since his unavailability seven weeks in the fall of 2014, due to a recalcitrant heel pain.
During the clasico, the preliminary center reigning triple champions France had nevertheless set a goal to surpass the record of 109 goals in all competitions between 2003 and 2008 by the Portuguese Pauleta, best director in the history of PSG. The egocentric thirties had only chipped twice to double the Lusitanian icon and leave his name in stone.
Led the score at the half hour of play, Parisians are eventually returned to their Swedish partner to snatch victory. A fight with the Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda on a bad clearance opposing the Scandinavian severely crumbling in the penalty area. The referee Benoît Bastien then designates the penalty spot. Park explodes when “Ibra” coolly converted the sentence. Two minutes later, bis repetita. Giant head (1 m 95) is blocked by the hand of defender Rolando Olympian front of his cage. The man in black whistles a new penalty. Forced to withdraw after the premature entry of one of his teammates in the surface, the Parisian striker has scored twice before halftime, becoming the best scorer of his club.
This surreal sequence was the only thinning of “Ibra” during the meeting. At the final whistle, the striker was presented with a trophy by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of PSG, while Park grandstands were almost empty. “ That beat that record is not a surprise , commented Laurent Blanc. He is attentive to this kind of performance. “Honoring his last year of contract with the Parisian club, the former best gunner championship (in 2013 and 2014) now eyeing the record held since 1995 by the Liberian George Weah, top scorer (with 16 goals) the club in European Cups. Scandinavian outperform its prestigious predecessor he scored twice against Real Madrid, October 21, in the group stage of the Champions League. One of the competitions that defaults on its impressive record.
