Zlatan blasts Barca boss

(02-09-2010) Zlatan Ibrahimovic has blasted coach Pep Guardiola following his exit from Barcelona. The Swedish striker recently joined AC Milan just 12 months after arriving in Spain in a mega-money deal. But despite scoring 21 goals in his first season at the Nou Camp, the 28-year-old never settled properly. "In my book, a great coach solves his problems. A small-time coach runs from them," said Ibrahimovic on Wednesday. "I have never had problems with any coach before during my career. But suddenly I had a thousand problems and I had no communication with 'the Philosopher'. No communication whatsoever. I don't know what his problem was.” He added: "I had no choice but to find a new place of work and I was lucky to go to Milan. I am 28 years old and cannot afford to lose a year sitting on the bench and watching the weather."
