<span class="sommario">Roma striker Mirko Vucinic has laughed at those who say that he is the &ldquo;new Zlatan Ibrahimovic&rdquo;.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The ex-Lecce hitman has exploded onto the European stage this season, following the injury to Francesco Totti.<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The 24-year-old has struck three times in as many Champions League games, and has also hit the back of the net twice in Serie A recently.<o></o></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This has led some to compare Vucinic with Inter superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The pair share a similar style of play, and also have roots in the old <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Yugoslavia</st1lace></st1:country-region> region.<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&ldquo;Me like Ibra?,&rdquo; Vucinic laughed. &ldquo;He is a player, I am just a member.&rdquo;<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Vucinic plays his national football for <st1:country-region w:st="on">Montenegro</st1:country-region>, following the country&rsquo;s independence from <st1:country-region w:st="on">Serbia</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Montenegro</st1lace></st1:country-region>.<o></o></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Last Sunday <st1:country-region w:st="on">Montenegro</st1:country-region> were drawn in the same 2010 World Cup qualifying group as <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Italy</st1lace></st1:country-region>, and Vucinic was asked for his thoughts.<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&ldquo;It is an honour for us,&rdquo; said the star. &ldquo;They call us the Brazilians of the East but in truth we are still very inexperienced. We have some good individual quality though.&rdquo;<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
