Goal-shy Zlatan Ibrahimovic was forced to stay behind after training on Wednesday in order to practice his shooting.
While the rest of his Juventus colleagues were under the showers in the changing rooms, the striker was held back by boss Fabio Capello for some extra work in front of goal.
Perhaps concerned over the Swede’s lack of accuracy recently, Capello devised a personalised session for the former Ajax sensation.
Capello launched numerous through balls to Ibrahimovic who was then faced with the task of beating third-choice ‘keeper Landry Bonnefoi.
Ibrahimovic impressed in his debut Serie A campaign last term by netting 16 times as the club went on to lift the Scudetto.
However, he has been struggling in the League this season and has just six goals to his name with only 10 games remaining.
He’s also been guilty of missing golden opportunities in recent matches against Parma, Chievo and in both European ties against Werder Bremen.
With the Coach unhappy about relying solely on the goals of David Trezeguet and Alex Del Piero, he’s set about trying to improve Zlatan’s finishing.
To his credit though, Ibra has scored three times in the Champions League this term while he failed to pierce the net at all in the same competition last year.
IMO he needs that a lot..Where a hell are goals?
I hope Zlatan will show his best on Sunday.. If he shows up on the pirch..
