Famous quotes by the Swedish sensation Zlatan Ibrahimovic

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.”

To make him happy and everybody else. You were born as the one you are. I mean destiny, yes there is destiny. Some things is made by destiny yes, other things by hard work, but quality you don’t learn. Quality you are born with

“Arsene Wenger asked me to have a trial with Arsenal when I was 17. I turned it down. Zlatan doesn’t do auditions.”
Of course, this is a non-exhaustive list, considering Zlatan always has a witty line to say during press conferences and interviews. Currently, he’s 39 and still playing at the top level with AC Milan and just extended his contract for another season.
