Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, has admitted that Zlatan
Ibrahimovic is in “the form of his life”, ahead of this weekend’s trip to
Manchester United.
Ibrahimovic has scored 28 goals for United in 44
appearances, since he signed as a free agent last summer.
Conte has now warned his players to be wary of the
35-year-old.
“I think now, Zlatan is at the top of his form in his
career,” Conte said.
“I think he’s a great player now, a top player. Not only a
finisher, but he plays for the team. For me, he’s one of the best players in
the world, Zlatan.
“We must have good defensive organisation and pay great
attention because, when he attacks the box, he’s very dangerous. Also when he
receives the ball, he’s dangerous. He’s a dangerous player.
“For this reason, I think my players must pay great
attention and [show] great concentration to stop him, and not only him, but the
[United] team.”
