The one on the right has blond hair and (most probably) blue eyes and doesn't look like a girl. it must be the hairstyle that made me think he's a girl - it's very girly.

I can tell the difference just fine.
It's not the blonde hair or the eyes, her face clearly says she's a girl. The one on the right might be a boy, you can't really tell.
I thought that's a girl too but according to Wiki his/her name is either Vincent or Maximilian, both of which I believe are masculine names!
It can go both ways

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has urged Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri to play Filippo Inzaghi on a more regular basis this season, as he feels that they can forge a very strong partnership together up front.
The veteran striker was in sensational midweek form, scoring a brace as a second half substitute, to give Milan the lead over Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Ibrahimovic, who believes he has more freedom with Inzaghi alongside him, desperately wants his coach to play the veteran ahead of the Brazilian trio Pato, Ronaldinhdo and Robinho.
"Pippo is incredible," Ibrahimovic said. "He deserves to play more often because he is doing well, and when you play well, you should start. Plus, I feel more freedom when I play with him, whereas when I'm with the Brazilians, I'm forced to play inside the box."

Milan suspended training this afternoon after Zlatan Ibrahimovic got into an ugly fight with his teammate Oguchi Onyewu.
La Gazzetta dello Sport claims Ibrahimovic made a dangerous sliding tackle on the United States international defender, who reacted furiously.
Onyewu has only just returned from a serious knee injury, which kept him out of action for the entirety of last season.
Milan Coach Massimiliano Allegri suspended training after the two players couldn't be separated.
Around 30 fans witnessed the fight, prompting Allegri to take drastic action.
It remains to be seen whether the two players will be sanctioned for causing such a scene.
After all, it's not the first time Ibrahimovic has rubbed his teammates up the wrong way since joining Milan.
He was caught on camera directing a Taekwondo kick at Rodney Strasser for no apparent reason.
-Unacceptable (but not surprisiing)

To be honest I find the comments to be much, much worse than getting into a fight at practice.
While not a good thing, fights during intense practices seem to happen from time to time in sports, and sometimes is just the result of two players giving perhaps a bit of a stronger effort than necessary and mixing it up. It sounds like that might have been the case.

I don't know what exactly happened,but I'd suspend Ibra for Bari's match and play Pato-Robinho.If sampadoria can terminate Cassano's contract for what happened,then I'm sure Milan could do the same.

Duuuuuuude. Let's terminate his contract, send him back to Bartha, and sign EDIN DZEKO.
He was talking about Pato and Ronaldinho, not Robinho. And I can't blame him. Pato and Dinho simply don't run. Whilst Dinho is a finished player and can't do anything about it, Pato's problem is his attitude. I explained it in the winter transfers thread. The guy must pull his head out of his butt.

That does not mean that Ibra should me making public comments about such things. And I think he means Robinho as well. Robinho is another player who likes to drift wide. He wants someone like Pippo, who takes up a central position so he can work around him
If this is the team spirit we have then no wonder we're seeing the things we are on the pitch.

No, he doesn't mean Robinho, cause Robinho plays as a trequartista in our system and he works and runs a lot, more than Dinho. I think he was talking mainly about Pato, though. And yeah, I agree he shouldn't be making such statements, but nonetheless, he's right.
Meh,let him start a full match with him and then talk...He played with a very inspired Pippo,and he actually didn't anything of importance when Pippo was on.
Sounds to me like Gooch started it in all honesty. I'd have to see Ibra's tackle first.
As for the comments....well he better score this week.

Robinho has never really played as a trequartista for us, it might be layed out that way in the drawn formation and he might start the game in that position, but it always turns into the 4-3-3.
Also I don't think he's right. Pippo is selfish, Ibra is selfish, can you imagine those 2 trying to play full matches together. Pippo scoring twice had nothing to do with Ibra, in fact it was in spite of Ibra, Ibra did his best to mess every good opportunity he had up, the 2 great chances in the first half, and the cross/shot he tried to make before our first goal, had Casillas not made a meal out of it that wouldn't have turned into a goal.
Imo Ibra needs to be played in a 4-3-1-2 as the SS to Pato. Now if Robs plays then that turns into something that will transform into a 4-3-3, simply because Robs likes the wings, if you play Dinho or I would even go as far as to try Pirlo out, then it would be a classical 4-3-1-2 with the man in the hole feeding the strikers. It worked great in both games before the Real game. Also people are making too much of a big deal out of Pato's form which imo is 100% linked to the way we're playing

So how come last season, when we played a 4-3-3/4-2-1-3, Pato did fantastic (on the wing) until he got injured? The kid can't even dribble 1-on-1 anymore, let alone make the difference. It's not only about form and/or playing style, it's also very much about mentality. Pato plays as if he's an already established world class striker, which leans him to have a rather reluctant mentality on the pitch, whilst in fact the kid hasn't achieved jack sh!t yet.
It made ESPN.com's front page since it involved a US NT player...lol

Last season it was a 4-3-3 yes, but it was a completely different way of playing. You had Boriello who was sort of a pivot that Dinho and Pato played off of. Plus a lot of the goals Pato scored came from those long lobs Dinho sent him when we broke on a counter and he's just beat the defender with just sheer pace. Or the in swinging cross from Dinho. This season he's not getting those opportunities. He can't beat his man on the right side because it's not the side he can do that in, if he was starting on the left then we might see that happen more often because he's more comforatble there in a one on one situation.
As for atitude, maybe it's coming off that way, but maybe he sometimes shows some reluctancy to really shift into that final gear because last season whenever he did it he ended up pulling up with that tigh problem and it happened again this season. So maybe it's just a mental block he has with getting injured again
Just got home and saw the article on ESPN.com.
One more reason why signing Ibra was a mistake. Yeah, he can score goals and all, but he's an undeniable cancer in the clubhouse.

Ibra agent to Cruyff: 'Go to hell!'
Johan Cruyff has praised Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but agent Mino Raiola told him to “go to hell! He should be in a mental asylum with Pep Guardiola.”
The extraordinary outburst came after Barcelona advisor Cruyff said he was impressed by Ibra’s performance in the Milan derby, believing he was “better suited to Italian football.”
Rather than thank the Dutch legend for the comments, Ibrahimovic’s agent replied with a barrage of abuse.
“Cruyff can go to hell! He is a nobody,” Raiola was quoted as saying in Swedish newspaper Expressen.
“He is becoming old and didn’t have the courage to continue his management career, as he doesn’t know how to train a modern club.
“Why didn’t Cruyff tell Zlatan that he wasn’t suited to Spanish football before Barcelona signed him?
“I think Cruyff should be in a mental asylum with Guardiola, so they can sit there quietly and play cards together . They would be doing Barcelona a great favour.”

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed he plans to quit football in June 2014.
Ibrahimovic, who left Barcelona to return to Serie A in the summer, is on loan at the San Siro and will be 33-years-old when he plans to hang up his boots. Milan have the option to make his loan move permanent next summer for 24 million euros (£19.7 million) and the striker has agreed terms on a four-year deal. But it may be his final contract in football.
"How long do I intend to play? A maximum three years," Ibrahimovic told Italy's Vanity Fair. "One should stop playing when you are at the top."
Former Inter striker Ibrahimovic has been inspirational since joining city rivals AC Milan. He has scored seven goals in 13 league games to lift the Rossoneri to the top in Serie A and found the back of net four times to help Milan progress to the knock-out stages of the Champions League.
And he admits he is supremely confident in his game despite lasting just a single season at Spanish giants Barcelona.
He said: "Do I feel the strongest player in the world? Yes, I do. If you don't think like that, you don't go out on the pitch 100%. For me to be second doesn't exist."

Ibra: 'No, I won't quit in three years'
Having caused controversy by announcing he’d quit football in three years, Zlatan Ibrahimovic insists “that’s not my intention.”
The Milan striker gave an interview with Vanity Fair that was released today in which he was asked how long he would keep on playing for.
“Three years at the maximum. You have to stop when you are at the top,” was the published reply.
However, Ibra released a statement on the official club website this evening with a very different view.
“It is not my intention to stop playing in three years, especially as my contract with Milan only expires in 2014.
“I’d also like to point out that my transfer to Barcelona in the summer of 2009 was wanted exclusively by me.”
The Vanity Fair article suggested Ibrahimovic blamed then-Inter boss Jose Mourinho for pushing him out of the club.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic feels he is entitled to think that he is still very important to Inter given Marco Materazzi and Massimo Moratti keep talking about him.
The Sweden international left Inter in 2009 primarily to win the Champions League with Barcelona only to see his former side do so instead.
He returned to Italy in the summer, joining Inter's heated rivals Milan, which has naturally sparked great debate among his former employers and teammates.
Interviewed on Studio Stadio XXL, Ibrahimovic said: “Materazzi speaks a little too much about me, as does Moratti. You see that I am still very important for them.
“I instead never speak about them. You see that they are not important for me.”
Turning his attention to Milan, Ibrahimovic said: “I understood on the first day I arrived here from the atmosphere that there was around me that Milan are my team and it's where I will finish my career and hopefully win a lot.
“It's not true that the team is Ibra-dependent. Every one of us depends on each other. I don't fear Inter, Juventus, Roma or anyone else. Wehave already shown that we are the strongest team. We must only continue like this and Milan will win everything.”
Finally, Ibrahimovic reacted to Wesley Sneijder's snub in the voting for the Ballon d'Or.
“It's sad that Sneijder won't win the Ballon d'Or after what he did last season, including in the World Cup, but by now that trophy has become only a question of politics and it's for this reason that I am no longer interested in winning it: I prefer to win with the team,” he concluded.

“It's sad that Sneijder won't win the Ballon d'Or after what he did last season, including in the World Cup, but by now that trophy has become only a question of politics and it's for this reason that I am no longer interested in winning it: I prefer to win with the team,” he concluded.
