According to Sweden boss Erik Hamren, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is currently the best player in the world.
Headlines have been dominated by the upcoming clash between Portugal and Sweden, but all the talk has been Cristiano Ronaldo vs Zlatan Ibrahimovic as only one of the stars can be on the plane for next year’s World Cup in Brazil.
The first leg is playing in Portugal tonight and ahead of the game, Hamren has spoken about the clash between the two mega-stars and he believes it is his striker who is currently at the top of the game.
‘Zlatan for me is number one,’ he told a press conference at Lisbon’s Stadium of Light.
‘He is a world class player, he is my captain and he is playing for Sweden.
‘I say that he is the very best.’
‘Of course, it’s a fight between these two world class players,’ he added.
‘Zlatan needs support but if he gets that from the team then he can be the match winner.
‘He has been scoring well recently, so that’s good. But so has Ronaldo so maybe their form is pretty even.
‘All I know is that Zlatan is in really good shape. He’s feeling strong and that’s good for us.’
