People think Zlatan is rude and obnoxious, they don’t get that he’s making fun of peoples view of him. He gives them what they want and laughs. He actually has a great sense of humour, and a great belief in himself. Sure, he has an iron will and he demands the same from his surroundings, that’s why he was, without a doubt, one of the best footballers of his generation, in the world. Period.

[@konsultarvode6527]

He is rude and obnoxious

[@locochoco5959]

He is rude and obnoxious. He talks about himself in 3rd person since he was 20. His attitude is toxic. Just look at Inter who won the CL when he left and when he left Barcelona they would go on to win the CL. A very good player and some classy goals but in the end, theres a LOT of better strikers than him only. Eto > Zlatan prime, Mandzukic > Zlatan prime for example.

[@patchh15]

Iirc 38 year old Zlatan left LA Galaxy and went back to a mid table AC Milan. Then Led AC Milan to the title. Scoring more than a goal every 2 games for 2 seasons before having a another serious injury. Retired at 41.

[@DidYaServe]

Zlatan's a maverick. Like a Cantona or some of those weird, genius goalkeepers that aren't like the rest of whatever squad they play in. An individualist.

Zlatan is a legend. He is larger than life and EVERYTHING he says is said with equal measures of purpose and a sense of humour.😂 He also backs it up on the field, and his team mates in all teams he has played for loves him. He expects the best from everyone. Zlatans gold standard sets the stamp on every team he plays for and makes all of them better. He is a consigliere for AC Milan now.

[@daziceman]

Not sure Messi liked him 🤣🤣🤣

[@andreastimonen]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has joined RedBird Capital Partners as an Operating Partner and will serve as a Senior Advisor to AC Milan Ownership and Senior Management. Dont think he would ever do punditry

[@Armanijesus]

When he says:"first i went left and so did he, then I went right and he went to buy a hot dog" is an old Malmö classic among immigrants, Zlatan didn't invent that one he just made it famous. It's a funny one though and I believe its funnier in swedish to be honest 😆

[@pimpking3135]

Don’t know if it’s necessarily classic among immigrants.. my father used that line on me when I was a kid. But I get your point, definitely funnier in Swedish too lol

Lukaku > Zlatan

[@mayaorozco6374]

Zlatan was on pace beating prime Vela's scoring numbers fairly convincingly had he stayed to do his third season in the league, Vela played there for six seasons while Zlatan was past his prime closing in on 40 yo. And Vela had the highest scoring season in MLS history which makes Zlatan's ratio at his age and past ACL injuries even more impressive.

[@robertod893]

Also Zlatan did reject Wenger on the phone and this is before Ajax. That takes a lot balls. He writes about it in his book and has spoken about it interviews.

[@BourneIdentity45]

I’m pretty sure Zlatan was still at Malmö when he said the Arsenal thing and instead ended up going to Ajax

[@razzey3367]

Right

[@F.P.SHighlights]

@@razzey3367 they forgot about him taking the swedish fa to court as he won the swedish league but wasnt getting paid as he was under 16. He said cancel all my goals, long story short, zlatan got paid.

[@cristianonunes8551]

I just love Zlatan's personality, because, the things he says are funny. You know he is kinda joking but not really when he says those things, he thinks them but he ofc exagerates them a little because, it's his persona 😂 love it! Do not get it twisted tho, he could back every single statement he made on the pitch, he wasn't only talk 😂

[@zvjerka2]

Ibrahimovic is a legend such a character that soccer not gonna have for long time

[@teamrainbow7674]

He’s an entertainer, from every quote or interview he has given to every goal and skill he has shown on the pitch. An all time great and a totally unique character and player

[@pchsdptr7681]

camera quality is AMAZING !!

[@lukmjukpoob]

He actually said the Zlatan doesn’t do trails while at Malmö and signed for Ajax instead

[@TheFergo911]

Watch his farewell speech. Opposition supporters in italy were booing him when he was talking, then he said to them to quite down necause this is only time they will witness greatness or something to that degree. He was savage. I recommend people listent o his dressing room speech at AC Milan when they won the title. It is epic.

[@axelblaze3589]

Zlatan would make a great Wrestler. His promos would be epic and funny as fuck lmao!!

[@snaggiz]

The thing is, people can think it's rude or arrogant but he has proven to be right much more often than not. He comes from a background where all people ever did was doubt his capabilities so of course he'll back himself. That's elite mentality from an elite competitor. Just to take home the point, nobody ever talks about Carew in the same way we talk about Zlatan. Different class, different beast. History maker.

[@varund7]

Zlatan currently serves as an official advisor to the owners of AC Milan (Redbird Capital, where he took on the designation 'operating partner'), which per my understanding means that he's in a sort of technical director role at the club, spends a lot of time in and around the technical staff and squad, etc. He was very popular in the dressing room during his final stint there, so this makes sense from a player relationships sense. (Worth noting that Redbird may not be in their position much longer, so we'll see how long this lasts.)

[@ingo2259]

Had one from the Swedish nationalteam retiring, and he got a car from the Swedish FA. The womens team asked where the car for their players were. Zlatan answer was that he would buy a bicycle and sign it for them.

[@stallis2009]

Zlatan has stated that Mohammed Ali was a role model for him, and remembering Alis trashtalk and oneliners one can see that in Zlatan. Both walked the talk.

[@dazzaMusic]

Ive only ever heard him praise two players during his entire career, R9 and Adriano.

[@RedhawksReport]

The Carlos Vela one I remember. They made a big deal about him being a big player. at the time Carlos Vela was 29 at the prime of his career. Zlatan said something like "Carlos Vela is playing in MLS and he's in his prime. When I was 29 where was I?"

The best LA story is the IKEA one :) Zaltan retied last year i AC Milan i belive the age 42.

[@suntalunta]

I'm pretty sure the Arsenal quote was before Ajax when he played at Malmö FF.

[@p90bridge]

Zlatan was raised by a poor immigrant family, at times there was nothing but beer in the fridge. When he was a teenager, a bunch of parents of the other guys on his team signed a petition to kick him out of the team. He was treated like a villain his whole youth, so somewhere along his career he decided to play the part in public. But he’s a true leader, holds everybody and himself to the highest possible standard.

[@matthiaskarner5832]

Zlatan said he will never manage because he would slap 2 players during the game and 8 after the game 😂😂

[@ohimats]

Zlatan works at Redbird, which owns AC Milan. He's basically the liaison between the players and the ownership.

[@Perisa79]

I would love to hear you have a discussion about Zlatan being the GOAT,, I mean as you said, he went to every big team and crushed everywhere.. Messi and Ronaldo just played in 1 team basically... In my book what Zlatan did in all the clubs he played in, will never ever again be done by anyone.. P.s It's a disgrace that Zlatan never won Ballon d'Or award..

[@MetClubScandinaviaTV]

That "Zlatan don't do auditions" is actually true. He talked about this in an interview in Sweden, and that he actually regrets it. He confirmed that it was very immature.

[@milanistanorway]

He has a ``ambassador``/consultant type role at AC Milan, thats what he is doing now

[@plastninja]

It wasnt at Ajax, wasnt it Arsenal where Wenger wanted him to trial and he said he doesnt do auditions?

[@LUITESLIFE]

I consider Zlatan #1 of all time when I include the level of skill but also entertainment value. Best player ever in the game imo when you combine those 2 factors.

[@Bmwjonte]

Zlatan is really funny guy behind the cameras too! there was a small local reporter asking him” would you want the same brand sponsor like beckham had with adidas?, you know getting new socks and underwear after every game? ” Zlatan: ”Zlatan does not get scared during games so he does not make brown marks in the underwear!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@YusufEbr]

Get Zlatan on here.

[@billy6243]

only two clubs managed to cheat Zlatan and that was Ajax/malmö in 2001. Despite the 7-8 million fee ,his monthly salary was only 15.000 euros. He asked the CEO in Malmö if that salary really was decent and was lied too. In Holland he found Mino Raiola and the rest is history.

[@RedhawksReport]

"Zlatan doesn't do auditions." that was in 2000 and he was with Malmö FF, not Ajax.

Zlatan is in Milan now as a advisor or something similar .

[@damianhuman]

[@Haakonisak]

The comment about John Carew was because of the rivalry between the two siblings Norway and Sweden. John Carew was as usual a bit cocky, and Zlatan shut him down with an orange just like any little brother would do. A bit annoying for us norwegians because Carew was actually pretty good, and that coming from a swede was a kick in the nuts.

[@boosnakejones]

He’s been speaking as “Zlatan” since he was 20. “Do you know Zlatan?” To the Dutch reporter

What many people not seem to know: Z has far more self distance than most superstars. And that typical frank odd Z-humour is very often misunderstood and falsely presented/declared. Actually Z is not seldom underrated instead of the opposite. At his peak/ best he really deserved at least one ball d'or.

[@JohnHF1957]

At the end of an interview, Zlatan was asked what he was buying his wife for Christmas. His reply, "She does not need presents, she has Zlatan.". With his comments, it is hard to tell whether he is the ultimate conceited prat or has a brilliant sense of humour. I think it might be a combination of the two. The opinions of former team mates of him are varied. The sledge of John Carew's ability is interesting, considering that Carew is one of only three players to have scored in European competitions with seven teams. The other two are Adrian Mutu and Zlatan. So, if Carew achieved it with a ball, Zlatan must have done it with an orange.

[@charlesstewart3826]
