The day Zlatan outshined Adriano

[@iwrotewords510]

Imagine being a defender and playing against Adriano and Ibrahimovic then when one of them gets subbed its for Crespo. lol

[@The15ssf]

No wonder the Milan derbies were off the charts, both teams had the best of the best players.

[@HypocriticalYoutube1]

They did at a time The best Ever!

[@Al-ji4gd]

Zlatan at this point was an absolute machine, just entering his prime. Best striker in the world.

[@Gonnie6969]

His prime started around 2011

[@Al-ji4gd]

@@Gonnie6969 I disagree, I think his prime started when he went to Inter and last until around 2014.

[@Al-ji4gd]

@@Littlefella73 That's because he played in Ligue 1 for PSG and his stats were inflated, you clown, not because he was in his physical prime. So much for knowing football. Imagine being so confidently wrong. If you think he was a better player in 2016 than he was in 2009 or something, then you are the only who doesn't know ball.

[@Petjuspelailee]

@@Littlefella73 He played in the french league

[@Al-ji4gd]

@@Littlefella73 You don't know what you're talking about, and clearly weren't watching him back then. I've watched Zlatan's who career since Ajax. He was considered the best striker in the world, at at least top 3, for his entire time at Inter, and yes, being in your physical prime is what prime means, you fool. He was quicker, fitter, stronger, etc Football is obviously not for you, pal.

4:50 😮😢this guy was actually a genius

[@khalilur-rehman8942]

What u mean?

[@elvnt1373]

Bruh look at his touch and finish for the offside goal name one modern player who could do that as smooth as he did

[@khalilur-rehman8942]

​@@elvnt1373nobody could in the modern game.

My childhood

[@Mossaab-kg3cj5hc5s]

To be fair this is was the beginning of deep in depression Adriano .

[@suravmondal21]

Adriano was a tank .

[@arfenmalik1717]

I would have wanted to see Adriano at Chelsea when they wanted him way back in 2004 Would have been awsome to see him in the champions league games where we were always knocked out Never understood why we bought Shevchenko, he won it all at Acmilan. Chelsea needed a hungry striker and Adriano would have been perfect

[@yanayana5408]

Play Inter Milan on PES 6 game, you gonna feel their power.

[@SaSpursFan]

I’d argue that Adriano was already not fit at this point. Over weight and less mobile.

[@SaSpursFan]

Ah back when players wore long sleeve jerseys bc they were not paper thin material

[@mike0133]

It's amazing how you think that two "heavyweight" men of an height of 190+ cm are going to play very static and waiting the ball in the box while they are doing much more opposite: sombrero, tricks, free kick and long rage shot, fight and defend to get the ball back, exchange wing position, go out the box to play the ball in the midfield and create chance, cross (one concluded in asist). They are not always waiting teammmates to creat occasion, they create it by themselves.

[@SaSpursFan]

They were playing with more freedom compared to current strikers. Often occupying the wing and midfield.

[@dakshsharma997]

Zlatan 🦁

[@shamilshamil6201]

Can you stuff about Griezmann as he's retiring from international football 😢

[@riddo_yt6088]

🦁

[@kyleking4028]

Zlatan doesn't touch adriano with longshot or directly running at goal

[@kyleking4028]

One season wonder? Seriously?

[@kyleking4028]

Adriano = last great striker long live emporeor

[@badsolja1]

@Littlefella73 Shit take tbh Adriano have solid few seasons with inter and Parma 2002 2003 2004 He was without a doubt very promising talent who got a mental block of playing the game due too his lack of motive after his father passed away . When Adriano was “playing “ football he was by far the better player Wanna compare season to season Alright let’s do it Keep in mind both of them around the same age One was playing in the best league in the world at that time Aka serie A Meanwhile the other one was playing in Eredivisie 2000/2001 Zlatan played 33 games scored 9 Adriano played 23 games scored 7 2002/2003 Zlatan played 25 scored 13 Adriano played 28 scored 15 (Keep in mind this serie A which was notoriously known for the difficulty to score in and easily the best league at that time ) 2003/2004 Zlatan played 31 scored 15 Adriano played 31 scored 21 2004/2005 Adriano played 42 games scored 28 zlatan played 49 games scored 19 2005/2006 Adriano played 47 scored 19 Zlatan played 47 scored 10 So literally when they both were playing and before Adriano hit the mental block He was the superior player Period No debate . Keep in mind I’m diehard Juve fan Even as Juve fan I would trade zlatan for Adriano anytime any day From 2000-2006 I seen zlatan missing easier goals and get roughed by defender And I seen Adriano scoring the goal I wished zlatan would have scored

[@arfenmalik1717]

​@@Littlefella73 Zlatan was never an elite striker. He is just overhyped. Even in that perfect Barca team he could not lead them to champions league victory. Then he moved around other top clubs and he was average Atleast for Adriano we can say he never had discipline that is required for a pro athlete That's all
