WORTH MILLIONS

The Paris St Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has once again proved his worth to the team by scoring two more goals in the latest cup match to extend his record and also the progression for the team in the French Cup. PSG are currently top of the French Ligue One, but they owe a lot of their success to the Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was signed from AC Milan in the summer. The striker is already at the top of the goalscoring charts, and he once again extended his advantage with two more goals from the match against Marseille.

Ibrahimovic opened the scoring in the match with a fine effort in the 30th minute. He completed his brace in the 63rd minute with a penalty. The striker has scored 22 goals in the league alone for PSG this season. He also has four goals from the cup competitions played this season. Marseille is turning out to be a favourite team for Ibrahimovic after the striker has scored five goals against Marseille in just three matches. PSG recently debuted their new signing David Beckham. The England international has been brought on a free transfer after his contract with the MLS club LA Galaxy came to an end a few months ago.

Beckham is a player known for his crossing ability, and he did not disappoint by being the most accurate with his passing during the first half. As a result of this victory, PSG will now be playing in the quarter-finals of the French cup. Bordeaux, Lorient, and Nancy are some of the teams that will be taking part in the state of the competition after they progressed with impressive results themselves. PSG currently have a two-point advantage over Marseille in the French league. Both the teams have played 27 matches each.

NO NEW ADDITIONS

The French club Paris St Germain will not be making any additions to the squad in the January transfer window according to the manager Carlo Ancelotti. The French club have been one of the biggest spenders in Europe by bringing in several high profile players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva. Despite the numerous occasions, the squad has not been able to satisfy the demands of the fans and the manager. They were expected to steamroll their opposition in the French league, but they have so far been lacklustre. This has led to rumours that they will be bringing in a few more players in order to strengthen the squad during January.

The manager Carlo Ancelotti, though, has ruled out the possibility by saying that he is happy with his squad at his disposal. One of the main additions for the club during January will be the 20-year-old Brazilian youngster Lucas, whose arrival at the club has already been confirmed. He has been signed by PSG for £ 45 million during the summer, but he will be making the transfer only when the January transfer window opens. Ancelotti has praised the 20-year-old by saying that he is a great player, who will be a valuable in addition to the squad.

“He will be the only player to arrive during the transfer window. He is young and he represents the future of the club. He has so much talent and will fit in well with the other players as he can play in several different positions. My coaching team think that the team is very good and very competitive. We have had some tough moments, but each time the team has reacted well,” said Ancelotti. Paris St Germain are currently top of the French league ahead of Lyon, but only on goal difference.

THURAM DELIGHTED WITH ZLATAN

The former French international Lilian Thuram has said that he is extremely delighted that the former AC Milan and Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is doing extremely well at the French club Paris St Germain. The Swedish striker was signed by the French club for around £ 25 million in the summer, while he is already one of the highest earning players in the world. Despite these enormous figures, he has been an instant hit at the club. Ibrahimovic has been the main reasons for Paris St Germain to be top of the French league at this stage in the season.

His former teammate and the French international Lilian Thuram has said that he is extremely happy that he is doing well, while he has also backed the 31-year-old to go on to bigger success in the future as well. Ibrahimovic has played for major clubs across the European continent like Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan. Many questioned his ambition after moving to the French club PSG, who were relatively new in terms of the elite status. The 40-year-old Lilian Thuram has said that Ibrahimovic is someone who is a winner in every aspect of life. He has also praised his first penalty by saying that he is an extremely great person to have in the dressing room.

“He has a very strong personality. He always wants to win but he’s a good guy, very pleasant in the dressing room. He’s a winner, though and I remember very well that when he didn’t score, he was annoyed when he got back in the dressing room, even if we’d won 4-0. He can bring a lot to our league, he’s fantastic. He’s always thought he’s the best player in the world,” said the former French international in a recent interview.
