Zlatan Ibrahimovic put in a superb performance in his side's 2-0 win against Hungary on Friday and fellow forward Ola Toivonen was full of praise for the new Milan signing after the victory in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier.

"The two of us playing up front worked out pretty well. It was a good feeling and we'll be looking to build on that performance," started Toivonen in an interview with Aftonbladet.

"Zlatan is an incredible player. You never know what will happen if he gets the ball. He's very unpredictable and that makes him a great player. The more balls he gets, the better we play.

"It's not easy to play together with him though. You have to be focused for the full 90 minutes to keep track of what he's doing and to respond to his actions."

Sweden lock horns with San Marino on Tuesday and Toivonen will be looking to further improve his partnership with Ibrahimovic in what promises to be an attractive game for the Swedes.
