5 strikers who were forced to play as wingers?

#3 Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Ibrahumovic wasn't happy when played on the flank

Let’s talk about Zlatan Ibrahimovic now. The enigmatic character is one of the beloved footballers in the whole world. His headstrong personality and a witty sense of humour has made him a much admired figure in football.

But he also has a rage about him – and you wouldn’t want to activate that part of Ibrahimovic.

However, Pep Guardiola did that and the former Juventus forward wasn’t one bit happy about it. He even wrote an entire chapter in his book about what he said to Guardiola and what he thought of him – and it wasn't pleasantries for sure.

The former Barcelona boss incurred his wrath when he chose to play Lionel Messi as the center-forward in a false 9 role, shunting Ibra on the wing – something that didn’t go down well with the current Manchester United man.

The former Sweden captain’s form went down and so did his desire to play for the Catalans. In the end he was let go by the Blaugranas and he has played through the center ever since.
