Is Ibrahimovic the most naturally gifted striker in the world?

What do you think?

Yes or No? Give solid arguments.

no because he is not

Yeah, he is the most naturally gifted talent.. I never seen anyone dribble with so little effort.. He scored so many goals from outside the box and specteculars, he's just amazing with the ball. It is a pleasure to watch. He always chooses the best solution, he has great vision, great creativity, strength, good running speed on short distance despite being very tall(he's stride length is huge) ... He is good in close spaces, large spaces, inside-outside the box, free-kicks, volleys, bicycle kicks, assists. He is never boring, and never fails to amaze me! He is 31 and he is getting better, that's the most scarry thing! No one has this qualities, so yes he is the best talent. He's only error is laziness!

I said solid arguments, you didn't bring an argument .Your answer isn't accepted.

Just jokin' mate .

Id take Messi over him anyday...

After Messi, he probably is. However I'd still take Benzema over him.

This.
Too lazy at times though apart from that, has all the gifts of a good talented striker. The attitude needs to change as well...

How could I forgot about Goatzema...

Well said. But if you look at the England VS. Sweden game closely, you will see how much his work rate has improved now he is the captain. He constantly runs back to defend and to start the attack once his team gets the ball back, like a CM. But he also manages to steal the limelight in front of the goal. He is a constant threat, in the air, from set pieces and his decision making has improved, now he knows when and who to pass to so his team comes out on top. Unfortunately his teammates aren't always capable to turn these chances into goals (reminds me of Messi and Barca), but no doubt, he IS, a living legend.

so why no nerman?

Living legend no

Why?He is not dead .

Yes he is. Of course Messi is obviously more talented but since his game evolved he's become more of a goal machine than that little wizard with the ball on his feet.

Can we count Ronaldinho ? coz he's more talented than both of them combined.

Benzema over Ibrahimovic

Dopest dope I've ever smoked

lmfao no and no and no

I would say yes.....At his prime I actually rate him higher than CR

I think he is the best penalty taker in the world right now.

BTW, check those compilations:

he excells in everything! he can be a poacher in the box, and even can play on the edge of the penalty area. he has the mentality of a champion, and always wants to win. i think he is one of the best strikers really

btw although i like benz a lot, and i support real and france national team, but benz is really toooooo far from attaigning his level

I'm not sure "naturally gifted" is the best way to describe his technique. If you've read up on his career, he practiced nonstop when he was young, giving candy to little kids if they could take the ball from his feet. I'm sure he was amazing even starting up, but he worked a ton to get to where he is now.

If you're asking if he has the best technique of any center forward in the game then i would highly agree. His first touch is the best on the planet imo, the guy is amazing to watch with the ball at his feet, like he had a magnet on both shoes. The way he manipulates a football, you only see that kind of skill in extremely gifted players like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo9, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel.

At the peak of his career, he was breathtaking if you like showmanship. He's never been extremely effective like CR7 or Messi, but he embodies the art of football.

I believe he is the third best player of this generation, behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and i also believe he has already done enough to be considered one of the all time greats.

His first touch is orgasmic, and his movements as well. The most complete attacking player along with CR7, and the most talented after Messi.
If Ibra would have had Messi's physique he would be the best no doubt.

Messi with Ibra's physique.

Ibra can use his height advantage so well like no other player. For example, with his agility, he can flick the ball in one big step to get it out of reach of a defender.

Do you mean attitude? Cos Ibrahimovic is superior to Messi in almost every way when it comes down to physical appearance on the pitch. He is tall, strong, and despite these things, quick off the line and has an impressive top speed with the ball. Also has great balance and agility(so does Messi, but he has lower center of gravity).

I mean acceleration, balance, pace, agility.
