Ibra and Oscar: One creates the times, the other goes with the flow

When comparing, we will see nothing similar between Oscar and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ibra, a Swede, is 35 years old and plays as a striker. Meanwhile, Oscar was born in Brazil, is only 25 years old this year and is a midfielder. The only thing they have in common is the round ball.

Brazil is considered the cradle of world football. This place has produced many outstanding talents such as Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, ... and they have brought this country many noble titles. As for Sweden, a cold land in Eastern Europe, which is not very famous for football if it were not for the appearance of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Compared to Ibra, although Oscar is not a symbol of the whole nation, but in a period of talent shortage, Oscar was considered the future of Brazil alongside Neymar.

Oscar is only 25 years old, while Ibra has reached 35.

In 2016, Ibrahimovic turned 35 and Oscar just turned 25. The age of 35 is considered "old" in football while 25 is the stage that can help a player mature in talent and gain experience. At 25, Oscar had played football in England for 4 years, while at his thirties, Ibra decided to come to the foggy country to prove to the world that he is not out of date.

With 11 goals after 16 rounds for the Red Devils of Manchester in the Premier League, who dares to say that Ibra is getting old? In fact, his achievement is only behind the great striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy (and equal to Robin van Persie, Andy Cole). If calculated in all fronts, Ibrahimovic has scored 16 goals since coming to England.That form can convince any picky viewer.even fans of rival teams Man United.

It is worth mentioning that in order to wear the Man United shirt, Ibra did not care about not playing in the Champions League and was willing to give up many attractive invitations from the US or China. Because for Ibra, he wants to play football in a high-class environment, he wants to be a Saint at Old Trafford and wants to be the one to rewrite history for the Theater of Dreams. And now, he and no one else is the hope for Manucians for a transformation of Man United after 3 forgettable seasons.

Ibra has just reached 11 goals in the Premier League.

However, Oscar has a different mindset from the famous 'Swede'. He chose China for his next journey after difficult days at Chelsea under Antonio Conte - despite the fact that he was once a favorite student of Jose Mourinho. When the news that Oscar - the Brazilian star, only 25 years old and playing for Chelsea - would move to the Chinese Super League - everyone laughed and thought it was a joke, including coach Conte. But Shanghai SIPG is not joking, and a lot of money... is never a joke.

Oscar has agreed to go to China to bring Chelsea 60 million pounds and he himself receives a salary of 400,000 pounds/week - something that Alexis Sanchez or Mesut Oezil can not even dream of having, despite being the leading pillars of Arsenal. With what is happening, no matter what Oscar says, he cannot avoid being called "money-hungry".

Oscar was criticized for being 'money-hungry' when he went to China.

At Old Trafford, people often use Ibrahimovic to criticize Wayne Rooney. R10 is “only” 31 years old but is far behind Ibra who is 35 years old. While the Swedish star is showing that he is the leader of Man United, Rooney, from the leader, has become a wandering shadow at the Theatre of Dreams.But compared to Oscar, Rooney is 6 years "older"Oscar was once the hope of Brazil, a key player for Chelsea under Mourinho and a world-class midfielder. Notably, Oscar is only 25 years old and is being courted by a series of big clubs in Europe.

Yet, after only a few stumbles at Chelsea under Conte, Oscar quickly became discouraged and sought a retirement home in faraway Asia, or above all, he could not overcome the appeal of a salary of 400,000 pounds/week? Why did Oscar not look at Ibra still playing at the age of 35 to admire and learn from? Didn't he look at Mata and Herrera's transformation when Mourinho came to Man United to know what he needed to do? Didn't he see his teammates like Costa, Pedro, Moses... revive to know that ups and downs are very normal in a player's life. Oscar is only 25 years old! Even Rooney is still full of enthusiasm for Man United, so why did the talented midfielder from Samba turn his back on European football so quickly?

Is it too much to say that Sweden is increasingly proud of the country that produced 'Saint Zlatan' who wrote the impossible stories from Italy, Spain, France and England? And Brazil - the country of passionate football - can be proud of Oscar, the hope of the past, now just a leaf that has surrendered to the forces of life.
