But the real situation...
"Benfica's backline has been in good form this year, and they are not lacking in height. Although Ibrahimovic has subjectively solved the difficulty of physical confrontations, his actual ability to compete is lower than Drogba's."
"He hasn't started bulking up yet, and such high-intensity confrontations could cause injuries."
"Moreover, with Nuno Gomes as a sparring partner during Benfica's training sessions, this backline is already better equipped to deal with attacks through the middle."
"That's why I suggest Ibrahimovic should try to pull to the flanks more in this game."
Joao Pinto also joined the discussion with the coaching team.
This made Paolo Bento, also a member of Portugal's golden generation, green with envy.
Pinto naturally shared everything he knew about Benfica with Trigella.
It was for this reason that Deng Kai told Ibrahimovic that the team would create an opportunity for him to outshine Maniche in the next game.
