Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimoviu0107 recently gave an interview with ESPN where he likened the difference in talent between himself and the rest of MLS as “a Ferrari among Fiats.”
He went on to say, “The game here [in America] could be so much faster, so much more tactical, so much more rhythmic.” He’s not wrong. Now it its 24th season, MLS still finds itself in a place where players in their late thirties are coming over from European clubs where they can’t keep up, and are still a class above most players in the league.
The question then is thus: How does MLS fix this problem?
