True. But their primary (and almost only) job is scoring goals. Ibra is a second striker. He plays best with a Crespo, a Trezeguet or an Allback (yet another example of a not so good player who excels with his national team) with him. So yes, perhaps Ibra isn't the best striker like mersey said. But he's one of the best forwards/"2nd strikers" in the world today.
