Laurent Blanc: 'People who doubt Zlatan Ibrahimovic have no clue about football'

Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc has hit out at Zlatan Ibrahimovic's doubters, claiming that they "don't know a thing about football".

The Swedish striker is in fine form this season, scoring 12 goals in as many games, with his two goals against Nice making him the club's all-time leading goalscorer.

Blanc is full of praise for his star striker and questions anyone who doubts how good the 34-year-old is.

"There is nothing more to say about Ibra. When I see his stats and the records he is breaking - records were just a matter of time," Blanc told reporters.

"When people ask me if I'm surprised he has scored so many goals, no I'm not. He is a player who has always scored goals - in Spain, in Italy. His statistics are unbelievable. He is an incredible competitor.

"He wants to win everything, he wants to score more goals. And it's a good thing for us because the more he scores the more he wants to score. When I hear people questioning his abilities it means they don't know a thing about football."

Ibrahimovic's goals have helped PSG to a 16-point lead at the top of Ligue 1.
