Masterclass: Ibrahimović on beating opponents

Key tips
• It is the defender's job to make your life as difficult as possible – even the best can be stopped.

• You can beat a defender in many ways: with speed, with skills and by swerving.

• As long as you have the ball at your feet you have the advantage.

• Once you go past an opponent, remember to still have the ball!

• After beating a man, concentrate on shooting and scoring goals – like this one Ibrahimović got for AFC Ajax against RC Celta de Vigo.

Ibrahimović says ...
"Some players make it look easy: Simão, Cristiano Ronaldo, and last but not least, me!"
