Zlatan Ibrahimovic Sent Off For Elaborate Face Slap Routine vs Napoli (Video)
By Chris Wright
In which, an hour or so into Milan’s slumber-inducing goalless draw with Napoli yesterday, Almighty Zlatan provides the game’s sole ‘highlight’ by unfurling an arm around Antonio Nocerino’s shoulder in order to expertly disguise an elaborate ’round the houses’ slap to Salvatore Aronica’s face…
Unsurprisingly, Zlatan saw a straight red card and is now due to be slapped – metaphorically of course – with a three-match ban, should the Italian FA deem his black belt finger waggling to be a ‘violent gesture’.
Something tells us they probably will.

I love that Aronica slapped Nocerino in the face.
Slumber inducing? The first half was horrible but the second was brilliant as far as 0-0 draws go.
@Anthony: I wouldn’t know. I was asleep.
Di Sanctis running to the linesmen like “Teacher, teacher, he hit himmm!!!” In All fairness Aronica is always bullying smaller players,
@Chris: Almost as bad as our Jermaine’s red at Brighton this weekend…

The English are so arrogant when it comes to Italian football. English have a sick obsession of hating all things Italian. It is really quite sad. Especially considering that Italy is the best footballing nation in Europe.
Clearly the only thing that can protect us from Zlatan is The Gooch
