The Premier League and other top leagues in Europe are considered more competitive than the MLS. This sets the stage perfectly for Ibrahimovic to excel. Scoring goals will definitely be easier when facing relatively weaker defences. The former Serie A and Ligue 1 top goal scorer will definitely relish the chance to torment opposition defences in the MLS.
In fact, Zlatan can afford to take things easy and still break records. With a talent that is beyond ordinary, he may well be a big fish in a small pond. And despite what may seem like a negative factor as he has already clocked 36, the Swede has shown no sign of slowing down yet. That may be bad news for the opposition but it sets the stage for new records to be set and broken in the MLS.
