Zlatan Ibrahimovic calls himself A GOD! Inside the AC Milan star's psyche | ESPN FC

If you're going to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is doing just that, according to ESPN FC's Janusz Michallik. Michallik joins Matteo Bonetti and Kay Murray to dive into the state of AC Milan following their Derby della Madonnina victory vs. Inter Milan. Michallik shares his thoughts on Zlatan Ibrahimovic's two-goal display, focusing in on his recent response on social media to Inter's Romelu Lukaku declaring himself "a god." Michallik admits he normally wouldn't approve of such "outlandish" declarations, but the Milan striker continues to back it up his talk on the pitch.

hes around the best players ever. 559 goals. 184 assists. all that in europes top leagues in a period of 18 years. plus 33 titles. also 13 league titles in 15 years with 6 teams in 4 different countrys. He is 1,95m and got a agility like a cat. he is a acrobat with the ball. hes got everything. he scores goals with his right or left foot, with his header, volley, bycicle, freekick, inside or outside the box, pass vision, areal control of the ball, holding the ball, positioning, decision making, fast in the head and is explosive with his actions, driblling skills and the right mindset of a true winner and leader. if you combine all these together theres not even one player that is close to him and his astonishing career.

Zlatan won championship with much worst AC Milan team before . He played with Nocerino and Aquilani and still won . He is very underrated .

[@ricardobingling9704]

Zlatan is very similar to Cr7 interms of how they can both score goals in literally any form, the only thing he lacks is pace. One of the most underrated footballers ever.

[@david.v7605]

Zlatan is a full time striker, CR7 is a winger and he outscores Zlatan🤔

Greatest Bosnian not to play for bosnia, nothing about him says he’s Swedish except his decision to play for that country

[@victorm6430]

I don't disregard the fact that he has Bosnian/Croatian heritage... but... He was born and raised in Sweden and has barely spent a single day in Bosnia. He is married to a Swedish woman and speaks Swedish with his kids. I'm pretty sure he feels a bit more Swedish than Bosnian tbh.

[@lastviking6981]

You are just a jelous bosnian farmer. He said many times Sweden is his home, his country his life. 😆

[@sportschool3537]

@@victorm6430 The only sad thing is that Zlatan and Djeko would have been a deadly duo for Bosnia... and well, if he was playing for Croatia? Ooooh... Europe would be in trouble... it's sad when a football GOD of the level of Zlatan doesn't have a chance to win a Euro or a World Cup just cause its undoable... I mean CR7 plays for Portugal and there is a ton of talent around him, especially now... but Zlatan was always stuck in a very mediocre Sweden with no chance for eternal glory...
