Zlatan Ibrahimovic has declared that he is not bothered by his lack of goals recently, saying that team success is the most crucial thing.

Ibrahimovic began his Barcelona career in style by scoring a lot of goal, but his rich vein of form seems to have deserted him as he has failed to register any goals in 2010.

"It does not worry me and it has happened other times: in my first year at Ajax, upon arrving at Juventus, and later at Inter," the Swede told Sport. "Obviously, being a central striker for a team like Barcelona, it is important to score goals, but it is not everything."

Ibrahimovic then chose to talk about his coach, Pep Guardiola, saying that the Barca trainer is backing him through thick and thin, and has praised him for contributing assists and linking up play upfront.

"An assist is like a goal because it gives happiness to a team-mate," added Ibrahimovic. "That is just as important to me as scoring."

"My bad streak does not worry me because I know the goals will eventually come. If one plays well, helps the team, and creates chances, one scores. Having said that, I am my own greatest critic and am never satisfied."

Ibrahimovic also took time to speak about his new home, Barcelona.

"My family has adapted very well and I am happy here. The team has won everything and I hope it continues as such. It is incredible. I only regret being eliminated from the Copa."

The former Inter Milan striker also believes that Spanish football is better than the brand of the sport played in the Netherland and Italy.

"Over there, a 1-0 scoreline was fine and the victory is all that matters. If I pay for a ticket, what I want to see is a spectacle. If you win 1-0 but you do not enjoy yourself, you go home dissastisfied."

"Here, people want to see modern and fun football. If I were in the stands at the Camp Nou, I would want the same."

Finally, Ibrahimovic praised La Blaugrana's football flavour, believing that "in a few years everyone will want to play like us. Barca are a great team. We all know one another and we know what to do."

"We are all playing at the highest level."
