Lucarelli: Inter Milan's Ibrahimovic better than Van Basten..

Livorno hero Cristiano Lucarelli rates Inter Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a better player than Dutch legend Marco van Basten.

Livorno were undone yesterday by Inter thanks to a five-star performance by Ibrahimovic and afterwards, Lucarelli declared: "We've all grown up with this myth of Van Basten and this Ibrahimovic reminds me very much of him.

"I'm talking about his absolute value. Perhaps Van Basten was more clinical in front of goal, but for genius Ibra has no equal. He is more spectacular than Van Basten - the classic big beast with dazzling feet.

"He is a phenomenon. The things he does has me scratching my head, wondering if he hasn't somehow been genetically modified."

Meanwhile, on his own future, Lucarelli said: "I think it's time that I made the jump to a bigger club. I have never felt so good during a season, even if at the moment I'm a little tired after seven games in 18 days."

Biggest joke of the year, I cant get my head around someone who can compare 1 of the most over rated players in recent times against a legend!
