"The Athletic" writes about the negative record of the Kosovar Ibrahimovic

Arijon Ibrahimović

The powerful medium "The Athletic" has written about 10 players from the top five European football leagues after the end of the championship half.

"The Athletic" published a long article about them on Saturday, including statistics on unsuccessful shots on goal.

"Ten players have attempted 23 or more shots in league games, without success," this media outlet writes.

Arijon Ibrahimovic is seventh on this list, which also includes Abde Rebbach, Andrej Ilić, Mathias Pereira Lage, Florian Lejeune, Alexis Mac Allister, Federico Valverde, Rocco Reitz and Jesus Rodriguez and Matteo Politano. 

"Heidenheim's Arijon Ibrahimovic, 24 shots. Arijon is regularly asked if he is related to Zlatan, and the answer is no. And for evidence, just look at his statistics. The attacking midfielder, who came through the youth ranks at Bayern Munich, has had a difficult campaign with Heidenheim. His best chance against Hamburg in September was blocked, even though the Hamburg goalkeeper was playing left-back at the time. In recent times, his desire to score has increased significantly, as he has made more attempts than ever. To be more precise, in the last two games, a shot of his that was saved by the goalkeeper ended in a goal against Mainz, while against Cologne he hit the crossbar," wrote "The Athletic".

The 20-year-old Ibrahimovic has three assists in all competitions this season, in 19 appearances.
