    Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is being tipped to start against his former club Ajax in their UEFA Champions League opener.

    Ibrahimovic came on a substitute on his Juve debut and scored in the 3-0 victory over Brescia.

    Now it is being reported that Alessandro Del Piero could be dropped by coach Fabio Capello to make way for the talented Swede.

    Ibrahimovic explained how much he enjoyed his time in Amsterdam.

    "Ajax helped me grow, but I felt myself ready for a really big team and I chose Juve," said Ibrahimovic.

    "I consider myself a winning player and I want to win either the Scudetto or Champions League."

    Ibrahimovic also admitted that should he find the net at The Amsterdam ArenA, he will not be celebrating.

    "In case of me scoring, I won't celebrate," he said.

    "I have still a big respect for my former supporters and my former team-mates."
