These Americans really don't know anything about football. Zlatan is not only the best in MLS. He's also one of the best strikers in history of the game.
Zatlan Ibrahimovic has never stayed In one team he played. In Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Ac Milan, Paris Saint German all big clubs before he even went to Manchester United he's definitely got skill I wonder why none of these big european clubs kept him I think he might fight with teammates or something he dosent get along.
This is such a dumb debate. Obviously Zlatan is better than Vela, but people need to chill tf out lmao Carlos Vela getting hate from everyone and he didn't even do anything
Zlatan had a better career and he's a legend for sure, but right now Vela is better. He's not in Europe because he doesn't want to, he's not passionate about the game.
@@iabsn1828 7 months ago, At that particular point of time he was the top goal scorer at that moment. He scored 15 goals off 7 games. Then he got injured.

Edwin Ebrahimi Zlatan - 29 yrs - AC MILAN Vela. - 29yrs - LAFC Zlatan - 17 yrs - Malmo/ hadn’t scored with Sweden national team Vela - 17yrs - Arsenal / World Cup Champion
Yeah, he's the ONLY person that can openly call the MLS a retirement league and EVERYONE, including defenders of the MLS, all agree with him! Form is temporary, class is permanent. #Zlatan
That's true but what's wrong with that? He is 37 years old with not many more years of playing ahead but he still plays for his team and scores many and amazing goals. He's a legend no matter what.
If he wasn't treating it seriously he wouldn't have done so well in MLS, the thing is he is one of a kind player and he likes competing with the most elite group of players.. he came to MLS for a change and to experience different conditions but being who he is soon he got frustrated with not being able to find it hard to play
Zlatan is so much fun and so right also. MLS is a joke and obviously Zlatan and Rooney are the best players in MLS. They can be 40 with broken legs and still better than MLS players.
CESAR RAMIREZ vela showed his limitations in England and he is 30 now so he has already full filled his potential and unfortunately he never become the player arsenal thought he was gonna be he is still a good player but mls is his level

At 29 Zlatan, was in Barcelona coming from Inter who won the treble in 2010 (serie A, coppa italia, champions league) without him. Imagine if he had stayed at inter for the 2010 season, he would have added 3 extra gold medals and cups to his already successful career.
Truth football is in Europe... -Zlatan " MLS is not the level of Europe, to be honest....Here, I am a Ferrari among Fiats"...and that DAMN TRUTH. PS: Comparing Zlatan to Vela...it's like comparing a Lion to a chihuahua😂...ah American People ( no offense i'm french btw).
What I love about this is that this man is not on some retirement tour. This is the same ambition and high standards that made him great in the first place.
@VFT - WHAT?? Well, who are you? Carlos Vela is a pro footballer who has played for Real Sociedad. He earns around 4,5 million dollars per year. He's far more successful than you will ever be. So ask yourself, "who am I?" I'm not saying that he's better than Zlatan, but he has performed better.
@IVN not same goal stats. Zlatan plays 9 position better than Vela by far. It's incredible that Zlatan in fewer games is just a few goals away from Vela at AGE 38! ZLATAN at age 29 he'd have 30 goals rn. Especially with the speed that he used to have
@@lewisclements8569 you didn't understand the question, did you? This is about their performance in the MLS. 37 years old or 29 years old, it doesn't matter. They are comparing their stats, not their age.
The reason I would take Zlatan is not only because of his sublime goal scoring ability. I would take him because of his leadership, charisma, and overall dominance
@@ricardorivera1199 dude he is 37 he is old now. He dominated in europe of anything you demon(dont oppose god) Bikes, scorpions, karate kicks In europe Mls is too easy for him Even if he is rlly old for player You dont c anyone at this age much He is a god and when he retires from his duties, his legacy shall be remembered forever Also he is savage😎😎😎
Let me tell u something Futbol has evolutioned Back than defenders didn’t know how to defend very well- now couches have studied the best players and know to defend them well Back the. U saw Messi... Cristiano... Neymar... Ronaldinho... and even Zlatan taking all the defenders tooo easy Now they may take 1 or 2 defenders cuz defenders aren’t perfect but that’s it!
@@freddytapia101 so obviously on paper he has scored more goals this season. That doesn't make him a better player lol, that's not how football works lol. Vela has never and will never be on the same level as Ibrahimović! Such a basic misunderstanding. Stats don't show Football IQ, positioning, things like that. Ibra is a king of football, one of the best. Vela is average at best finally finding form in a joke of a league. Ibra's just on holiday making a few quid before he retires so to compare them is a joke. It's ok, you yanks are new to football. FORM IS TEMPORAY, CLASS IS PERMINENT.
@Mxtthxxww Vela became a football/soccer player because he was good at it and it obviously pays really well. But this isn't even his favorite sport. His favorite sport is Basketball. He's even said that he would much rather watch a Basketball game than a soccer one.
Mxtthxxww hei dude the guy is living a dream he is living in LA area he is close to Mexico he has money what else do you want live in a crapy city like Manchester or Barcelona or Paris or Madrid being far from home you have to be nuts so hear the answer football is not everything life goes on .
You’re gonna compare Zlatan that played in major Europe clubs to Carlos Vela who left Real Sociedad when he was at his peek to come to LA for money💀💀😂😂😂
Carlos Vela in a sucky team like Real Sociedad helped his sucky teammates beat teams like Atletico and Real Madrid and Barcelona.. Ibra has always played with stars around him.. now that he doesn't have stars around him he's complaining.. LA Galaxy has overall better players than LAFC.. yet they're at the top because Carlos Vela helps them be better
To put things into perspective for Americans that just look at numbers and follow the NBA, comparing Vela to Zlatan is like comparing Jay Williams to Michael Jordan.
@Louis Hennick zlatan is at least a Magic Johnson. He was right behind messi and ronaldo for ages. After him there comes nobody for a long time skillwise
Okay, I change my career to ESPN FC interviewer. I guess you can get salary with super low IQ. That job fits me really well, and I won't let ESPN FC down.
Zlatan is correct he is the best player in the MLS. If you consider yourself a talented player and in your prime you should be playing in Europe. You should not be playing in the MLS between the ages of 26 and 33 if you are the best of the best. I don't understand why Carlos Vela and Giovanni Dos Santos did not stay in Europe and battle for a starting position. Vela and Santos will go down as two players that had great talent and potential, but where never able to live up to the potential that they showed as youth. Vela and Santos will go down as having disappointing Futbol careers.
@@bigsteppa2116 it is obvious he went for the money. In Europe they would not pay him shit, and he would warm the bench. When a player in his prime goes to play in MLS (the retirement league) or China they are kissing there national team career goodbye.
I do understand why. You have to be happy as a footballer or any athlete. Vela doesn't have anything to prove. He's 30 yo making 4.5 mil living in LA, with the ability to go home pretty easily. He was in Europe for 12 straight yrs and had a good career. He's played for his national team. Opted out. Would prob be selected if he wanted to play again. Doesn't want to. "Disappointing" for whom? Anyone other than himself and his family don't matter in the grander scheme.
Giovani was never as good as Vela. Vela at least played in Real Sociedad and had great matches against Barça and Real Madrid.....Even qualified for champions league which is rare for Sociedad MLS was the end for Giovani's international career but Vela could still play and be 10X better than anyone who is currently playing
Typical American reporter in the locker room - asking Zlatan stupid questions 😀 You have to Google and find out the history of Zlatan - He is A Living Legend 😀😀😀
@@hectorsalinas6607 Not really. You think he cares or tries against teams like Cincinnati, Houston, Minnesota,etc. He knew the spotlight was on him since he made the comments against vela and it was an important game
@Gerardo Lopez Getting a big and easy paycheck in a league that doesn't put pressure on whether players perform well or not. Plus MLS offers players that should be retired a long contract in a first world country.
@Gerardo Lopez because this joke of a league is easy money, the same reason Vela is playing here. Zlatan has played for the best clubs in Europe. Vela had only played for mid table/relegation teams. Vela is a great player but he will never be as great as Zlatan. His numbers speak for themselves, he's a star wherever he goes
Zlatan scored 528 Goals in 901 Matches.... Hes at the third spot behind Ronaldo and Messi as activ Player in the all Time scoring Leaderboard. To compare him with Vela is a damn joke only Americans could do X).....Ibra been Topscorer at almost every League and Team he played for. Vela could only dream of having such a career. Zlatan is past his Prime but still class and a Legend to this sport. he has nothing more to prove, he has already proved everything.
Zlatan all day along.. Even thou vela may be bst player of this season we all agree on this, but zlatan🔥🔥🔥 is the bst player of all time by period @ the age of 37 wether you admit or not. 😂 and abt vela at this age wat abt after mls just end of the career. Lol thats lit.
Yes, of course. Just look how many times Zlatan nominations in Ballon d'Or. Or just look his individual awards compared to Vela. Don't compare King with Civillian.
@@veemartinez1005 u look at numbers i look at the plays Zlatan scores with style and he has shit team All mls is shit Lets just face it Never disrespect god
I dont know why some people will say he was a shit atBarcelona? Like seriously the guy scored 16goals in 29 appearances .is this a shit form to u people? If it hasn't been Messi and Ronaldo over scoring in this era ,.This 16goals In 29 appearances,Wow do the percentage for yourselves?he scored in derbies he plays in for fun.The only EL Classico match he played in he scored,whiles coming from bench1-0 beat that.
Zlatan's right. He's not just amazing TODAY, he has been amazing since 2004, the year he scored that amazing goal that shocked everyone at the stadium. Carlos Vela's ok too, but he's below Zlatan.
Seriously, did you actually try to compare Carlos Vela to Ibrahimović? This is exactly why American management struggles so much to get results in Italian soccer leagues: you think numbers and stats are everything. You’re just accountants.
Zlatan: Says the league is motivated by money This nonce: He's out of line. Also this nonce: He'll be forced to go because the MLS needs Zlatan to be promoting the league.
"Milan qualified for the Champions League for the first time since 2013 and Ibrahimovic, at the age of 39, was the club's TOP GOAL SCORER with 15 in 19 Serie A appearances."
Christopher Martinez What? Vela was one of the reasons why Real Sociedad made it into Champions League. The fucker just wants to do little as possible and get payed the most money.
Christopher Martinez hahaha deluded he rejected a move to atletico madrid before they even looked at griezmann and they were on the same team lol he's at the mls for the money it's too easy
No, Vela has scored more goals in the league, but the term "better" is often subjective. Zlatan is far the better footballer, he's able to create goals from situations Vela hasn't even dreamed of. It's a team game, and possession and supply is fundamental to a foward. But at 37 Zlatans speed is gone.
Vela from Real Sociedad is MLS best player? Zlatan (ac Milan, inter Milan, Barcelona, psg, United) is really ferrari among fiat. MLS should have seen it coming.
Always respect your opponent, because if you beat him, who would you have beaten?Hint: a fool. But if you lose to him, then, shame on you, you would have lost to a fool.
It's the confidence every top player has. Ronaldo,Pele they all have that confidence, it's not arrogance and lack of respect. If someone call you and say you are worse than someone else it's an embarrassment and you have to shut their mouth.
@@deadpoolplaygames8774 the question he was asked was: who IS the best player un the league" not who has a better currículum. The best player un the league IS CV, you can check the stats?
@@deadpoolplaygames8774 zlatan does feed into the cocky persona, though; Not all great players are like zlatan, some arent interested in being compared with other players - he is a great showman and a legendary player that isnt afraid to act arrogant; players like iniesta are different; they know their ability, but arent about the show. they all have the confidence but i guess they view the world differently from each other.
Zlatan will always be the lion amongst human . You can never compare him to anyone . He is one of a kind . Very skilled and talented always delivers . Manchester should never have let him go .
With no Doubt.. Zlatan is Alien in front of C Vela.. Zlatan played with all Big Club names and Legend throughout his Career.. And when it comes to football World will remember Zlatan as a legend like Maradona..Messi..Pele..Ronaldinho.. Ronaldo...C.Ronaldo... Thank you...
Comparing Vela with Zlatan is like the last thing I thought I would ever see in this world lol. It's like comparing El Shaarawy with Ronaldo or Ben Yedder with Messi.
I’m American and I’m ashamed of these stupid questions and media. It really shows Americans know nothing about football/soccer. Please don’t make this foolish comparison and questions. Nobody knows carles vela out of mls. Forget about Zlatan stop comparing sheep to lion 🦁
Form is temporary, class is permanent. Look at Zlatan's goal scoring record for the past 10 yrs or so, Carlos Vela can't even make it at Arsenal. Facts don't care about your feelings
Why to compare Zlatan with Vela? This is just childish. Zlatan is the monster,one of the most known players off all time. Vela is good player but common do not compare him with Zlatan. This is lack of respect and vision. I wish Vela be at least half famous like Zlatan at age 37,really I wish him.
@@michael_fu_2002 who said best striker ? Actually Ibra is the better football player, more goals more asssits more playtime and so on. The more complete player (never seen Ronaldo do goals with his head). Ronaldo was far better ? If he wouldve never got injured and played the same amount of games maybe, but reality says … NOPE !
Amer Mirahcic I strongly disagree with your analysis. It’s beyond laughable that you think Zlatan was a better player than Ronaldo. The only area Zlatan was better at was poaching inside the penalty area. Now, I don’t classify Zlatan as a poacher but compared to Ronaldo, the only thing he is better at is scoring tap ins, headers, bicycle kicks and volleys. Ronaldo was a far more influential and dangerous player in all areas of the pitch. He was much better at making solo dribbles and creating chances for his team by generating attack on his own. Zlatan is honestly not even close to him, he even admitted it himself. Also, Ronaldo does not need to have Zlatan’s longevity to prove he is the better player. Throughout their careers, Ronaldo has played 616 games for club and country, scored 416 (goal ratio of 67%) and assisted 149 (assist ratio of 25%). Zlatan in 843 games has scored 502 goals (60% goal scoring rate) and 193 assists (rate of 23%). Not to mention Ronaldo was far better at dribbling and generating chances. So even in stats, Ronaldo is better than Zlatan. Honestly Ronaldo’s short period at his best from 1997-2003 was better than any moment Zlatan ever had in his career.
I totally agree with the last comment in the video, Zlatan really isn't good at his job promoting the MLS... And he has been chosen to play there for this exact reason. I am not a fan of the MLS as I am used to European soccer but damn, if I'd earn my money there, I would try to do my promotion job as best as I could.
MLS is the Veterans retirement facility soccer Don't believe me Zlatan just said it in other words at 29 your so call prime you are playing in MLS is a joke for him Can agree more no one gives one bit about the future of futbol or is they call soccer here is all about making money to bad for us fans who obviously care more about the club we love and stand by
Do Americans not know this? It’s commonly known in the U.K. that this is the case. Whenever our good players retire eg beckham and Gerrard to name two they go over to LA galaxy or whatever else is there and get paid a lot of money to play easy football against players who aren’t in the same league as them even when retired. It’s a different world here
Can’t compare someone like Vela to Ibrahimovic, there are other Mexican players like Sanchez, Raul Jimenez, or Hernandez to be compared to. Vela is okay but he hasn’t made an impact overseas like the other players mentioned in this list
At the Age of Vela 29 .. Zlatan was playing 2010 at Barcelona with Messi Xavi Iniesta Puyol Alves
YAS A
He was at Milan at that point...
But Milan was one of the best in Europe at that time.

Not even top 20 greatest strikers oat but he is a magnificent playerp
Zlatan my boy!!
He in his prime at 29 in the mls. Where was I? Europe, that's right
The reason I would take Zlatan is not only because of his sublime goal scoring ability. I would take him because of his leadership, charisma, and overall dominance
Zlatan at this age is still head and shoulders above any player in the MLS
He is VERY tall
@@sticksyofficial6207 yah 6 foot
He scored a hat trick yesterday against Velas team, so yeah Zlatan is better 😂😂

Zlatan is not a god
His just a player that is really bad in Europe, and needed something much... Easier
@@ricardorivera1199 dude he is 37 he is old now. He dominated in europe of anything you demon(dont oppose god)

Even if he is rlly old for player
You dont c anyone at this age much
He is a god and when he retires from his duties, his legacy shall be remembered forever
Also he is savage😎😎😎
Let me tell u something
Futbol has evolutioned
Back than defenders didn’t know how to defend very well- now couches have studied the best players and know to defend them well
Back the. U saw Messi... Cristiano... Neymar... Ronaldinho... and even Zlatan taking all the defenders tooo easy
Now they may take 1 or 2 defenders cuz defenders aren’t perfect but that’s it!
For the love of God stop asking questions that doesn't need answers, you comparing between lion and a mosquito
A mosquito can kill a lion in no time if I’m not wrong mosquito is one of the most deadliest thing in the world
Loved how he ripped the league while ripping the reporter while ripping vela all at the same time. Legend.
How is this even a question? 😂
theyre not talking about the past. theyre talking about who is better NOW. i think its a fair question
Zlatan is still better
@@urielgaming9271 stats say otherwise
@@freddytapia101 so obviously on paper he has scored more goals this season. That doesn't make him a better player lol, that's not how football works lol. Vela has never and will never be on the same level as Ibrahimović! Such a basic misunderstanding. Stats don't show Football IQ, positioning, things like that. Ibra is a king of football, one of the best. Vela is average at best finally finding form in a joke of a league. Ibra's just on holiday making a few quid before he retires so to compare them is a joke. It's ok, you yanks are new to football. FORM IS TEMPORAY, CLASS IS PERMINENT.
Uriel 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Zlatan LMAOOO 🤣💀😂. He’s right though Vela is good but only for the MLS
I think Vela could play good anywhere. But the guy is a conformist. He didn't care enough for the sport to be the best.
Vela can play for any club in Europe he just doesn’t care for football like that. Now imagine if he did........
Mxtthxxww to take care of his family and make millions of dollars without giving a shit about his profession
@Mxtthxxww Vela became a football/soccer player because he was good at it and it obviously pays really well. But this isn't even his favorite sport. His favorite sport is Basketball. He's even said that he would much rather watch a Basketball game than a soccer one.
Mxtthxxww hei dude the guy is living a dream he is living in LA area he is close to Mexico he has money what else do you want live in a crapy city like Manchester or Barcelona or Paris or Madrid being far from home you have to be nuts so hear the answer football is not everything life goes on .
Beckham goes to mls.. ok
Rooney goes to mls.. ok
Zlatan goes to mls.. subscribed
Mls has a new fan now
*MLS goes to zlatan...
You’re gonna compare Zlatan that played in major Europe clubs to Carlos Vela who left Real Sociedad when he was at his peek to come to LA for money💀💀😂😂😂
Lmao, not only that. Zlatan prem goal is higher than Vela whole non existent prem career
Carlos Vela in a sucky team like Real Sociedad helped his sucky teammates beat teams like Atletico and Real Madrid and Barcelona.. Ibra has always played with stars around him.. now that he doesn't have stars around him he's complaining.. LA Galaxy has overall better players than LAFC.. yet they're at the top because Carlos Vela helps them be better
He was in that sucky Sociedad team because he was sucky for Arsenal, Westbrom
@@adolfo14lopez he's fucking 38 beckham couldn't do it because it's called age la galaxy is a worse team
I agree, no comparison!
To put things into perspective for Americans that just look at numbers and follow the NBA, comparing Vela to Zlatan is like comparing Jay Williams to Michael Jordan.
Zlatan is good but he wasnt no michael....more like Rodman
We mainly care about the NFL over the NBA. Shows how much you know.
More like Kobe or Duncan
Calm down w the sweeping statements. Us Americans have eyes as well.
@Louis Hennick zlatan is at least a Magic Johnson. He was right behind messi and ronaldo for ages. After him there comes nobody for a long time skillwise
Okay, I change my career to ESPN FC interviewer. I guess you can get salary with super low IQ. That job fits me really well, and I won't let ESPN FC down.
Zlatan is correct he is the best player in the MLS. If you consider yourself a talented player and in your prime you should be playing in Europe. You should not be playing in the MLS between the ages of 26 and 33 if you are the best of the best. I don't understand why Carlos Vela and Giovanni Dos Santos did not stay in Europe and battle for a starting position. Vela and Santos will go down as two players that had great talent and potential, but where never able to live up to the potential that they showed as youth. Vela and Santos will go down as having disappointing Futbol careers.
Mike lmao vela went for the money not because he was finished
@@bigsteppa2116 it is obvious he went for the money. In Europe they would not pay him shit, and he would warm the bench. When a player in his prime goes to play in MLS (the retirement league) or China they are kissing there national team career goodbye.
I do understand why. You have to be happy as a footballer or any athlete. Vela doesn't have anything to prove. He's 30 yo making 4.5 mil living in LA, with the ability to go home pretty easily. He was in Europe for 12 straight yrs and had a good career. He's played for his national team. Opted out. Would prob be selected if he wanted to play again. Doesn't want to. "Disappointing" for whom? Anyone other than himself and his family don't matter in the grander scheme.
Vela didn’t have to fight for a spot he was a starter on Sociedad
Giovani was never as good as Vela.
Vela at least played in Real Sociedad and had great matches against Barça and Real Madrid.....Even qualified for champions league which is rare for Sociedad
MLS was the end for Giovani's international career but Vela could still play and be 10X better than anyone who is currently playing
Why is this even a question? Zlatan is on of the best footballers of his generation! Vela has had one good season in the MLS...
Compairing a f**king LION with a Taco?!?!?
Typical American reporter in the locker room - asking Zlatan stupid questions 😀
You have to Google and find out the history of Zlatan - He is A Living Legend 😀😀😀
And 10 Herc Gomezs would never amount to Zlatan,,,EVER!!!!!
Herc Gomez isn't just a reporter, but ok...

Ibra is by far the best last night he proved it!! 3 amazing goals.
But he still aint better than carlos vela with 21 goal on the mls league

When zlatan says something it’s right
Zlatan just showed every MLS noob that he scores when he wants to and Vela would never be better than him.
He doesnt score when he wants to, because im sure if he wanted to he could score more
@@hectorsalinas6607 Not really. You think he cares or tries against teams like Cincinnati, Houston, Minnesota,etc. He knew the spotlight was on him since he made the comments against vela and it was an important game
@Gerardo Lopez Getting a big and easy paycheck in a league that doesn't put pressure on whether players perform well or not. Plus MLS offers players that should be retired a long contract in a first world country.
Gerardo Lopez
Being 37 years old
@Gerardo Lopez because this joke of a league is easy money, the same reason Vela is playing here. Zlatan has played for the best clubs in Europe. Vela had only played for mid table/relegation teams. Vela is a great player but he will never be as great as Zlatan. His numbers speak for themselves, he's a star wherever he goes
2:26 That's so ironic 😅
Zlatan scored 528 Goals in 901 Matches.... Hes at the third spot behind Ronaldo and Messi as activ Player in the all Time scoring Leaderboard. To compare him with Vela is a damn joke only Americans could do X).....Ibra been Topscorer at almost every League and Team he played for. Vela could only dream of having such a career. Zlatan is past his Prime but still class and a Legend to this sport.
he has nothing more to prove, he has already proved everything.
I don’t know why everyone is so fucking retarded. They’re comparing their games now and right now Vela is better so shut the fuck up
@@tony2300 Vela is 29. Zlatan is 37. If you take into account their age, the league and team they're in. Zlatan is doing much better.

Zlatan shud b compare wit Messi,CR7 not someone like carlos Vella..
I agree zlatan is talking to much that he is the best in MLS he the number 2 in MLS Carlos Vela is number 1
Yes, of course. Just look how many times Zlatan nominations in Ballon d'Or.
Or just look his individual awards compared to Vela.
Don't compare King with Civillian.
@@veemartinez1005 u look at numbers i look at the plays
Zlatan scores with style and he has shit team
All mls is shit
Lets just face it
Never disrespect god
Zlatan is nothing compard to Messi and Ronaldo. He never even won the Champions League, he continually failed in Europe. He's a domestic specialist.
Naa Messi better
I dont know why some people will say he was a shit atBarcelona? Like seriously the guy scored 16goals in 29 appearances .is this a shit form to u people? If it hasn't been Messi and Ronaldo over scoring in this era ,.This 16goals In 29 appearances,Wow do the percentage for yourselves?he scored in derbies he plays in for fun.The only EL Classico match he played in he scored,whiles coming from bench1-0 beat that.
Zlatan's right. He's not just amazing TODAY, he has been amazing since 2004, the year he scored that amazing goal that shocked everyone at the stadium. Carlos Vela's ok too, but he's below Zlatan.
Which goal?
@@soccer68541 This one: th-cam.com/video/ZgqsaDnsEq8/w-d-xo.html
if Zlatan is a Ferrari then he got his ass robbed twice fucking with San Jose
Seriously, did you actually try to compare Carlos Vela to Ibrahimović? This is exactly why American management struggles so much to get results in Italian soccer leagues: you think numbers and stats are everything. You’re just accountants.
Zlatan: Says the league is motivated by money
This nonce: He's out of line.
Also this nonce: He'll be forced to go because the MLS needs Zlatan to be promoting the league.
Zlatan owns the MLS
SVGAR SKVLL 12 points behind LAFC
But he wouldn't be the best in Liga mx
"Milan qualified for the Champions League for the first time since 2013 and Ibrahimovic, at the age of 39, was the club's TOP GOAL SCORER with 15 in 19 Serie A appearances."
Saturday Night Live taught us that some songs need more cowbell. Football needs more Zlatan....
We’re only talking about currently Zlatan. An currently, Vela is running circles around you and the stats back that up
Vela with a much better team though
Vela also is younger and can do this in mls but not as consistently in europe.
Christopher Martinez What? Vela was one of the reasons why Real Sociedad made it into Champions League. The fucker just wants to do little as possible and get payed the most money.
Bryan Perez You mean if Zlatan and Vela switched teams, Zlatan would have stats like Vela?
Christopher Martinez hahaha deluded he rejected a move to atletico madrid before they even looked at griezmann and they were on the same team lol he's at the mls for the money it's too easy
"I'm a Ferrari amongst Fiats". How can you argue with that ?
Zlatan is a better player but Vela is doing better in the MLS
No, Vela has scored more goals in the league, but the term "better" is often subjective. Zlatan is far the better footballer, he's able to create goals from situations Vela hasn't even dreamed of. It's a team game, and possession and supply is fundamental to a foward. But at 37 Zlatans speed is gone.
He scored more goals cuz he played 6 more games dummmyyyyy
And against teams where they just rounded up the town janitors to play
Vela from Real Sociedad is MLS best player?
Zlatan (ac Milan, inter Milan, Barcelona, psg, United) is really ferrari among fiat. MLS should have seen it coming.
ajax
I think zlatan was also at Juve for a while too
DEFINITELY!! As a Mexican, I can tell you Ibrahimovic is 1000x better. Just look at where he's at now, back in Europe banging in the goals at 40!!!
Always respect your opponent, because if you beat him, who would you have beaten?Hint: a fool. But if you lose to him, then, shame on you, you would have lost to a fool.
It's the confidence every top player has. Ronaldo,Pele they all have that confidence, it's not arrogance and lack of respect. If someone call you and say you are worse than someone else it's an embarrassment and you have to shut their mouth.

@@deadpoolplaygames8774 zlatan does feed into the cocky persona, though; Not all great players are like zlatan, some arent interested in being compared with other players - he is a great showman and a legendary player that isnt afraid to act arrogant;
players like iniesta are different; they know their ability, but arent about the show.
they all have the confidence but i guess they view the world differently from each other.
One player is 29 in his prime and the other player is 37 and vela still can't completely outshine zlatan , but vela is better than zlatan this season
Vela is in a much much better team that is the biggest difference. Zlatan is obviously the better player.
He's just fitter in a better team.
imagine zlatan in lafc...
Zlatan is a beast...You can't even compare....And his clap backs are legendary....
Zlatan is better player by far’ because he always scored wonder goals at his age❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now zlatan is playing superbly in AC Milan.
Zlatan will always be the lion amongst human . You can never compare him to anyone . He is one of a kind . Very skilled and talented always delivers . Manchester should never have let him go .
Zlatan is bigger than the MLS it self
Why is this even question... please!! Z is the best player “by far”
With no Doubt..
Zlatan is Alien in front of C Vela..
Zlatan played with all Big Club names and Legend throughout his Career..
And when it comes to football
World will remember Zlatan as a legend like Maradona..Messi..Pele..Ronaldinho..
Ronaldo...C.Ronaldo...
Thank you...
Ibrahimovic team is trash but he make them so good dont compared a god with a king (mls)
Comparing Vela with Zlatan is like the last thing I thought I would ever see in this world lol. It's like comparing El Shaarawy with Ronaldo or Ben Yedder with Messi.
Is this even for debate? Zlatan is 2 classes above.
btw, Zalatan just won the Serie A at 40
Now ibra is 40 where is he ?
And
where is that kid ?
Big difference 😌😌 so we all know lbra is god
I’m American and I’m ashamed of these stupid questions and media. It really shows Americans know nothing about football/soccer. Please don’t make this foolish comparison and questions. Nobody knows carles vela out of mls. Forget about Zlatan stop comparing sheep to lion 🦁
Form is temporary, class is permanent.
Look at Zlatan's goal scoring record for the past 10 yrs or so, Carlos Vela can't even make it at Arsenal.
Facts don't care about your feelings
Why to compare Zlatan with Vela?
This is just childish.
Zlatan is the monster,one of the most known players off all time.
Vela is good player but common do not compare him with Zlatan.
This is lack of respect and vision.
I wish Vela be at least half famous like Zlatan at age 37,really I wish him.

Best striker of all time? Ronaldo Nazario was far better than Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
@@michael_fu_2002 who said best striker ? Actually Ibra is the better football player, more goals more asssits more playtime and so on. The more complete player (never seen Ronaldo do goals with his head). Ronaldo was far better ? If he wouldve never got injured and played the same amount of games maybe, but reality says … NOPE !
Amer Mirahcic
I strongly disagree with your analysis. It’s beyond laughable that you think Zlatan was a better player than Ronaldo. The only area Zlatan was better at was poaching inside the penalty area. Now, I don’t classify Zlatan as a poacher but compared to Ronaldo, the only thing he is better at is scoring tap ins, headers, bicycle kicks and volleys. Ronaldo was a far more influential and dangerous player in all areas of the pitch. He was much better at making solo dribbles and creating chances for his team by generating attack on his own. Zlatan is honestly not even close to him, he even admitted it himself. Also, Ronaldo does not need to have Zlatan’s longevity to prove he is the better player. Throughout their careers, Ronaldo has played 616 games for club and country, scored 416 (goal ratio of 67%) and assisted 149 (assist ratio of 25%). Zlatan in 843 games has scored 502 goals (60% goal scoring rate) and 193 assists (rate of 23%). Not to mention Ronaldo was far better at dribbling and generating chances. So even in stats, Ronaldo is better than Zlatan. Honestly Ronaldo’s short period at his best from 1997-2003 was better than any moment Zlatan ever had in his career.
Zalatan likes to rattle his opponents like Mohammed Ali did...he’s doing a great 👍 job
I came back to this video just to hear the big difference
I totally agree with the last comment in the video, Zlatan really isn't good at his job promoting the MLS... And he has been chosen to play there for this exact reason.
I am not a fan of the MLS as I am used to European soccer but damn, if I'd earn my money there, I would try to do my promotion job as best as I could.
Zlatan: the Man, the Myth, the Legend.
Carlos Vela: Just another person playing soccer.
Soccer :v

Don't believe me Zlatan just said it in other words at 29 your so call prime you are playing in MLS is a joke for him
Can agree more
no one gives one bit about the future of futbol or is they call soccer here is all about making money to bad for us fans who obviously care more about the club we love and stand by
Do Americans not know this? It’s commonly known in the U.K. that this is the case. Whenever our good players retire eg beckham and Gerrard to name two they go over to LA galaxy or whatever else is there and get paid a lot of money to play easy football against players who aren’t in the same league as them even when retired. It’s a different world here
Bug King Americans suck at soccer
Can’t compare someone like Vela to Ibrahimovic, there are other Mexican players like Sanchez, Raul Jimenez, or Hernandez to be compared to. Vela is okay but he hasn’t made an impact overseas like the other players mentioned in this list
when he said “by far” that shit sounded like in a adventure movie 😂😂😂
