Channel 4.com http://www.football-italia.net/blogs/sc75.html Sunday 26 July, 2009 Have Inter done a great bit of business by selling Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona? Susy Campanale thinks so. Pundits are tearing their hair out over the tragic loss of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but I see it as a smart bit of business from Massimo Moratti – a rare one, at that. While Real Madrid and Manchester City clamour to create a Panini sticker album of a squad, Serie A sides are focusing on what really matters in football by building a team. I believe Inter will be a better outfit without the Swede. 讓伊布走是個明智的抉擇，國米會因為瑞典人的離開而更茁壯。 Of course he is entertaining, spectacular and has often turned a game all by himself with a moment of Ibracadabra magic, but that is the basic problem too. Inter have been relying so heavily on their striker that the underlying issues within the squad of a workmanlike midfield and leaving the initiative to opponents have never been properly addressed. Without Ibrahimovic, Inter seemed pedestrian and nowhere near a dominant force in Serie A. 看瑞典人在場上踢球很過癮，但他的高調也是球隊的癥結所在。 戰術過度以他為中心卻讓球隊忽略了其他更需要被解決的地方。 儘管少了伊布，或許國米踢球或許會單調點，在義甲的優勢也可能會降低。 So why do I say they are a better team now he has gone? Because the new arrivals can finally forge a tactical system that works regardless of who is in the starting XI. Jose Mourinho has no excuses now, he must deliver more entertaining football that makes use of everyone and not just a fancy Swede doing back heel flicks to get them out of a tricky situation. Samuel Eto’o needs service to get the goals and cannot create them all by himself like Ibrahimovic did, so they are forced to work out a proper tactical plan. 不再過度依賴伊布的個人進球能力， 新的陣容及戰術會讓國米更強大。 It is also a bonus for Inter because they can at last approach the Champions League with some degree of confidence. When you rely entirely on your star striker and he happens to have a dismal European record, it does not bode well for continental glory. In three years with the Nerazzurri, Zlatan scored six goals in 22 European games. You might say that’s not too bad, but five of them were last season. At Juventus he failed to score in his entire opening Champions League campaign. He often goes missing in the crunch matches, which is a death knell for the rest of the team. 伊布在歐冠的進球數...恩....=.= Barcelona can probably get by without him pretty well and carry Ibra during those tough times, but Inter were too lazy or spoilt to work out a Plan B. Now they are forced to confront their weaknesses and will come out of it stronger. --
