man of conflict
Ibra began to piss off those around him since childhood. While playing for one of Malmö’s youngest ages, he got into a fight with a teammate and headbutted him, long before the whole world started discussing Marco Materazzi’s act in the World Cup final. The victim’s parents insisted on expelling the hooligan from the team, but the Malmö coaches did not cut the goose, which is potentially capable of laying golden eggs, and they were right.

Along these lines, Zlatan ignored all the uncomfortable topics that his interlocutors tried to put in front of him. And he knew perfectly well what he was doing: one could offend him, sue him, call him rude, but it would not be possible to ignore him with all the desire.

The Verona fans, on the other hand, dismissed Ibrahimovic with a whistle, to which he responded in his unique style: “You can keep whistling. It’s the best thing you’ve had this season: you saw me.” This is all Zlatan. It remains to be seen how Ibra will surprise us after the end of his playing career.
