Atlanta United’s McCann bemused by THAT moment

Yes, Atlanta United centerback Chris McCann is aware that he put Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the ground with a fake during last week’s 2-0 win in Carson, Calif.

He knows because gifs of the moment have clogged up his twitter timeline and a few teammates have pointed it out.

“It’s crazy,” he said. “It was just a simple step. People get excited over the small things.”

To recap, here’s how one 6-foot, 1-inch battleship (McCann) outmaneuvered one that’s 6-5:

During the second half, the Galaxy were on a counter-attack. McCann stepped in and recovered a loose ball.

As Ibrahimovic moved in to try to tackle McCann, the Irishman did a simple left-to-right dribble, which caused Ibrahimvoic to fall onto his butt as he tried to stop.

As McCann said, it was just a simple step.
