Zlatan Ibrahimovic personifies the term “marmite player.” In a nutshell, it means you either love him or despise him. He has the goals, such as the 30-yard bicycle kick over Joe Hart’s head against England, the trophies, and the winning attitude, but he also has a sense of humour.
Here are some of the best quotes by the AC Milan star:
“First I went left, he did too. Then I went right, and he did too. Then I went left again, and he went to buy a hot dog.”
When sat in a press conference, one reporter asked the Swede why he had scratches and scars on his face. Zlatan reportedly commented:
“Well…I don’t know… you’ll have to ask your wife about that.”
“When you buy me, you are buying a Ferrari. If you drive a Ferrari you put premium petrol in the tank, you hit the motorway and you step on the gas. Guardiola filled up with diesel and took a spin in the countryside. He should have bought a Fiat.”
“I don’t believe they can change the Eiffel Tower for my statue, even the people behind the club. But if they can, I will stay here — I promise you.”
“I won’t be the King of Manchester, I will be the God of Manchester.”
“A World Cup without me is nothing to watch, so it is not worth waiting for the World Cup.”
