The Real Salt Lake defender was involved in an altercation with Ibrahimovic last April when they visit the LA Galaxy stadium. Now, Onuoha is not expecting a new incident.
This Wednesday, Zlatan and Nedum Onuoha will face each other again, this time at RSL home, and despite all the sound surrounding these two, Onuoha is resting importance to what happened back in April.
"It's not Zlatan and I, see, that's the thing about it. You can make it about certain players, but it's always about the teams," said Onuoha pointing to last season matchup as reference for the Real Salt Lake defender, a game that saw Ibra's 500th goal being clouded by the 6-2 loss at Rio Tinto Stadium and out of the playoffs.
"Last season, when we played them here, we had a really, really good result, they'll probably want to rectify that, but ... we're at home, and with two home games left in the season, you want to maximize everything you can."
