Barcelona coach Guardiola wants Ibrahimovic to control agent

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola wants Zlatan Ibrahimovic to get a handle on his agent.

Mino Riaola blasted Guardiola's decision to bench the Swede for last week's 4-0 thrashing of Champions League opponents Stuttgart.

"I speak with the players and they have the ability to control their agents. It's not in my contract to talk with them through the media," said Guardiola.

Raiola, ibra's agent also represents Balotelli. Maybe he is as vain and megalomaniac as his players.

On-field disaster???? Lol.. Idiot!

the only similarity he has with berbatov is that he will constantly be judged against his price tag. 15 goals and 6 assists for barca (so far) in his first season isn't too bad, but as soon as you take his 40m tag into the equation...
