- Today I learn about another legend of the game - Zlatan. What shocked me was the amount of teams he played for, and how much he moved around the globe. It also makes me understand why Europeans might have a more international view of the world - because, football. Really enjoyed watching him - he has fun, but is also a "lion" with his mentality.

Zla tan Ibra him ovic
Ibrahimović was born in Malmö, Sweden, on 3 October 1981. He was born to a Muslim Bosniak father, Šefik Ibrahimović, who emigrated to Sweden in 1977, and a Catholic Croat mother, Jurka Gravić, who also emigrated to Sweden, where the couple first met. Ibrahimović began playing football at the age of six, after receiving a pair of football boots.
Good Reaction, as always. At the end, it returned to 2001 when he said "I am Sweden" as for the first time it showed him playing for The National Swedish team and not a club side. He started in Sweden for Malmo then Ajax of Amsterdam then Internationale Milan in The famous Blue and White Stripes then Barcelona then A C Milan (Inter's great rivals ) in the famous Red and White Stripes then France for Paris St. Germain then Manchester United then MLS then A C Milan again. When you said "his return 2011/2012" back to Sweden did not last long it only meant he returned WITH A C Milan to play AGAINST Malmo :)

Every football team in the world has their name on the badge on their kit above there heart left hand side of kit Liverpool has a Liverbird and then L.F.C underneath her
the last part of the video is his career in the Swedish National Football Team, he has played for his country since 2001 and he is the all time leading goal scorer of the country. All football players have two separate carrers, one with footaball clubs and another with their National Teams. Messi with Argentina, C. Ronaldo With Portugal, Neymar with Brazil and, in this case, Ibrahimovic with Sweden
Well put
Just to mention one thing; playing for your national team is not a contract. You don’t get paid for your national team.
@@SuperSilentSinger You have bonuses for achieved objectives with the national team...
@@PapaBear6t8 sponsorships etc. But it's a drop in the ocean compared to regular wages.
@@SuperSilentSinger You do, actually, in most national teams. Not comparable to a pro football contract of course, but they do get paid. The difference in pay between men and women was a big thing in Sweden a few years ago, where it was somewhat doubly unfair since the men really didn't need any extra money at all, whilst most women were semi-pro at best due to lack of pay.
Regarding his personal background:
His father is from Bosnia-Herzegowina and his mother from Croatia. He himself was born in Malmö Sweden. But he's defo a Balkan boy by blood and mentality. Also he speaks his mother tongue serbo-croatia when he's around his parents. So his lil accent and his foreign name for sure stood out in between all the Scandinavians he grew up with.
So I believe thats what he meant by saying he was a "foreigner"...
He doesn’t really have an “immigrant accent” tho. It’s just the Malmö-accent. Also he grew up in the Rosengård area where you gonna have problems finding people of Scandinavian origin 😎.
@@svenskhast5632 That is a def Yugo-Russian accent.
When zlatan comes to your house you are the guest
My favorite quote from Zlatan was: coach, don't worry - the dwarf (Messi) and I we'll do it. No coach likes to hear that 😀 But he was loved for that - he’s just a real guy ✊
Zlatans goal against england with joe hart in goal was something ill never forget what a beauty.
Yeah as an Englishman living in Sweden I had to see and hear about that goal for a good while!! Absolute top drawer though, to even attempt it is nuts.
@@styvieagget4580 Haha! yeah its crazy to try being as tall as he is.
Clubs do have their badges on the shirt I can imagine it being confusing though if you don’t know the badges
I guess it's that they are small enough that for anyone not very familiar with them that they aren't readable on TV pictures.
That and the fact she can't see the difference between clubs and national teams bugs me heavily.
if i wouldnt know some names from Inter i would mix up malmö and inter (the logo even more on fifa) every time^^
@@unwokeneuropean3590 It shouldn't, though. We take this stuff for granted but if you're not brought up with it it's evidently not so easy to get your head around. She's smart, keen to learn and open-minded, so she'll get there if she persists.
At the end it showed him playing for his country not a club
Yeh🇸🇪
Zlatan has an almost inhuman sense of spatial orientation. The man knows precisely where the goal is in relation to him, even while upside down in the air with his back towards the goal.
Exactly, watching Zlatan is like watching the Matrix. He knows exactly what he's doing at all times, before anyone else does.
He has black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I think that explains his perfect control of his body.
@@BenDover_84 Controlling his body is one thing, but you need to know where the goal is, and it's easy to be off by a few degrees when you're not looking at all. And a few degrees off over a distance of 20 meters or so can mean shooting several meters wide or high.
Football clubs have badges on their kits
Just adding answers to these as they're coming up.
Q. Which team does he play for in the Netherlands?
A. The BIGGEST - Ajax Amsterdam!
Q. Is that Barcelona? Did he play with Messi?
A. Yeah, you know the Blaugrana now! He was only at Barca for one season and left mostly because the coach (Guardiola) preferred to play Messi in a central position rather than Ibra. He HATED Guardiola!
Q. Back to Milan?
A. Yes but for AC Milano. They are the city rivals of Inter.
Q. Is that PSG?
A. Yes. They're not the only team in Paris but they are (now) the biggest and most well funded.
Q. Parc des Princes?
A. Not another team. This is the name of PSG's home stadium.
Q. Man Utd owners?
A. They are owned by the Glazer family (Americans). I don't really know cars but Chevrolets are sold here.
Q. Europa League?
A. It's the second European cup. Not as prestigious as the Champions League but important for the teams in it... I guess.
Q. Contracts?
A. It's pretty common for older players to only get one or two year contracts. When he was younger he moved for pretty substantial transfer fees like other players
p.s. He's not a player but I would recommend you reacting to Brian Clough. He is respected in England even today (his peak was in the 70s) because he went to small teams and turned them into champions quickly. There are loads of narration style docs on CZcams so it will be easier too.
He played for both Inter and AC Milan and for Juventus as well
Clough - "Well, if we have a disagreement, we'll sit down and talk it out for a few minutes, and then come to the conclusion that I was right". Love him.
Of course, winning two consecutive European Cups with Nottingham Forest is no joke .
Just to let you know it is always AC Milan not AC Milano. Of course Milano is the name of the city in Italian but the club was founded by Englishmen and have kept the English spelling.
*ACMilan
He was saying egoistic - he’s known for being very cocky. It was PSG he played for in Paris, their badge is the Eiffel Tower.
We have Chevrolet in the UK but they’re not popular. Man United’s owners are American.
Egoistic was a mistranslation of „selfish“
Self confidence should be named after Zlatan .
Trust me u won't find a more self believe and confident guy in the world.
From the struggles he had gone through from his childhood to superstar has
made him the most confident guy
That’s not confidence.
I'd describe him as arrogant rather than confident
@@mattinfullvision9598 His arrogance is a mask, watch video of him when he is just chilling with the bois, he talk and act normally. He just have his character, which is one of the reason why he is so popular.
@@Wellshem I couldn't care less! Mask or not his arrogant nature is the very thing that puts me off, same thing with Ronaldo. Both of them would be better off without the arrogance

Here are all the teams Zlatan has played for (not including youth career teams):
Malmö FF (in Sweden), Ajax (in the Netherlands), Juventus (in Italy), Inter Milan (in Italy), Barcelona (in Spain), AC Milan (in Italy), Paris Saint-Germain (in France), Manchester United (in England), LA Galaxy (in the US) and he is currently playing for AC Milan, again.
Also the Swedish national team. Not sure how much or when but still.
Don't know if your aware of "retirement leagues" or not but these are leagues were a player goes to essentially retire, they still play football but at a lower level which will require less commitment whilst still getting a large paycheck, these leagues are the MLS, Chineese super League and many middle eastern leagues, you see many big names going to these leagues at the end of their career and some who just go there for the money. Zlatan went to the MLS to retire but he was too good to retire so came back to Europe
"Guldbollen" (Golden Ball) is a Swedish award, given yearly to the best football player (man & woman).
Football team jerseys (usually) have a club badge upper left side. Shirt supplier upper right side. And main sponsor of the team in the middle.
When Zlatan signed for LA Galaxy he bought a spread in LA Times. 2 completely black sides, and at the bottom "Los Angeles, you are welcome."
Guldbollen is given to the best male player. Diamantbollen (Diamond ball) is given to the best female player
@@reineh3477 Yeah, I forgot to mention that. Thanks for the clarification.
@@BerishStarr no worries.
Don't ask a Man Utd fan if they have American owners! Sore point
Grrr
Yeah they're all 'Glazers out' until they sign Ronaldo and Sancho...
@@ayeready6050 Do you blame us? Sancho was a signing we wanted for 2 years. People will definitely want to buy his jersey. And obviously after ronnie comes back everyone had to buy his jersey.
@@ayeready6050 and they’re still glazer out.
@@jgmediting7770 We'll be Glazers out till these parasites sell up. They may technically own the club but they bought it with the club's money and use its massive earning power to pay off the huge debts they run. Far better than money for players would be a determination to run the playing side of the club properly. It is after all a football club, not a noodle franchise. It's going slowly as yet but there are signs the worm is turning and if the team continues its decline the heat on them will increase.
Yeah he meant he'd be the president of the united states if he came 10 years earlier in his prime😂 he came there to retire but he was still too good so he went back to Milan. Btw the last clips were from the swedish national team, you can tell by the colours, the swedish commentators and the logo on the chest with our flag in it :)
Parc des Princes is the name of the stadium where PSG plays. Also I feel like his stint at LA was him just rehabbing lol now he’s back in Europe doing his thing.
she pronounced parc des princes as parc des princesses !!! I cry laughing
@@palupalu5647 why? She's not French.
@@johnbircham4984 So you need to be French to speak Princes ? I think it is really easy to pronounce it for anyone who knows English
@@johnbircham4984 it's funny, because I imagine princesses in beautiful dresses doing tackles and dribbles, running with pumps in the mud..
Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Zlatan. Born in the suburb of Rosengård in Malmö, Sweden, to immigrants from Yugoslavia. He rose through the ranks of Swedish football and became a world-class football player and one of the best, if not the best, football player in Swedish history. What a legend!
The all time great `Jimmy Greaves` passed on the other day. I know that Sogal most likely has never heard of him or has most of those who comment here. I just want to mark the passing of a `true` football great. God Bless you Jim!
Hello Alan. Saint Greavesy now.
Rip to the legend
@@markmorris7123 Indeed! A true footballing legend !
The word legend is thrown around all too often these days but Jimmy truly was a legend. He is my club's all time leading goalscorer (revealing who I support there) and he is held in such high regard by our fans. A truly wonderful footballer and a wonderful man
@@mattinfullvision9598 He had the incredible knack of scoring on his debut for each new club he played for.
This Video wasn´t the best for a new person to learn about Zlatan, this was more a tribute for those that know of him all ready!
Zlatan been playing for 20y+ and still plays in AC Milan since 2020. Think he have changed so many clubs for new goals to him or conflict´s like he had with Barcelona coach. ;)
Once said to a club that wanted a further look before signing him ‘Zlatan does not do auditions’ 😀
Arsene Wenger's Arsenal wanted him for a trial.
Manchester United are a global brand, so Chevrolet is most definitely getting use out the sponsorship. Man Utd are watched by hundreds of millions worldwide.
Also Chevrolet is French right?
@@PizzaMastr01 no , it is an American company
But the Right Hand Drive Chevrolet sold in the UK isn't made in the US. When GM wanted to move in to the UK/Ireland market they thought it would be too expensive to develope a while new line of Right Hand Drive cars. Instead they bought the Daewoo car manufacturer and re-branded all their existing models as Chevrolet.
@@mbo191 It's just advertisement... Man Utd are shown all over the US.
@@robbieh2458 and all over the world. Chevrolet sells a lot in south america too
Manchester United is one of the largest sport brands in the world, with fans and viewership from all over the world which is why Chevrolet made a sponsor deal with Mancher United for a 5 year period.
There are less than 2000 Chevrolet cars sold in Europe each year. In general barely any American cars are sold in Europe.
I mean she's right. They have american ownership.
@@amorphous7474 the ownership had nothing to do with it.
I don't know about that, I've seen hundreds of thousands of Fords lol.
@@briank212 Fords are an exception to the rule, as they bought Aston Martin and had it until 2007. They also bought Volvo but sold it again. Ford of Europe is fully based in Europe and has factories in Europe. Most of the cars are fully unique to Europe from that and they are closer to Opel/Vauxhall and Renault cars with a Ford logo.
Even Top Gear did not treat them as American Cars
@@YekouriGaming I was just being a smart ass. Being that Ford Europe is a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company, They're a wolf in sheep's clothing lol.
A lot of top sports people have a strong will to succeed. Some are quietly confident in their ability and some are like Zlatan. You can be 'arrogant' if you can back it up.
As an ex premier League player once said , if the team lost and the manager said only two of you played well then everyone would be thinking " l wonder who the other one is "
There’s never an excuse to be arrogant. It’s a sign of a deep character flaw someone is compensating for.
As a Man U Fan will always love this guy and thank him forever
attitude and Confidence God level Zlatan😍☝️
Swedish football player he is extremely known here in Sweden he is awsome.
@Grudon 57 Malmö is in Sweden
@Grudon 57 Malmö is a Swedish city, wtf? Scandinavia is the region Sweden is situated in
@Grudon 57 are you dumb? Malmö is part of Sweden lmao it’s the third largest city in Sweden.
@Grudon 57 lol Scandinavia is the name of a subregion of Europe, not of a country, you genius.
@Grudon 57 it’s a city inside of Sweden how is it part of Denmark then? For goodness sake it’s Sweden’s third largest city under Gothenburg.
When trying to recognise each team, rather than looking for the colours( which can help obviously) but each team has home, away and a third kit this is to avoid kit clashes when playing teams who play in the same colour. Try and Remeber the badge of the teams as the badge is always located on the players top left of the shirt.
The last bit wasn't him going back to Sweden but it was showing his national side in a glance. I would have recommended "I am zlatan" but this one was more documentary type. U can react to his bad boy moments. I will bet u gonna love it.
16:01 He's saying "egoistic". As in selfish.
And yes, he was playing for PSG. And the person in Barcelona that would not speak to him was the Barcelona coach.
The gist of that story is that the coach decided to play Messi in the position that Zlatan normally plays, and so Zlatan felt he couldn't perform as well as he normally does.
Zlatan is a character, but a great player indeed. One of the best.
Sentimental attachment wise, ibra really loves ac milan. he went back to them and currently plays there.
His arrogance is sometimes just hilarious, I love it! 😂
Also, maybe a video on his most famous quotes would be a good one? 😊
Think of the Europa League like the Champions League light. It's a similar competition for European clubs, but for clubs just below the level to qualify for the Champions League.
Actually the Europa League / UEFA Cup used to be the third tier competition before 1999 and the UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup used to be the second tier tournament .
I feel as this documentary semi-expects the viewer to know some of Zlatans journey already.
There is a lot that isn't said on why and how things went down.
Unfortunate, but i do hope you enjoyed it and this inspires you to find out more about Zlatan.
He is definitely one of a kind, both on and off field.
Edit:
Also, yes, Zlatan moved from club to club a lot in comparison to most successful players. Most likes to stay in one place when success is achieved, Zlatan gets restless and want new to conquer.
While playing for clubs, he also played for Swedish national team, thus the final part of the video. It was a summary of his national career. He is viewed as Swedens best player ever.
The closest allegiance he has is to AC Milan. He currently plays there still.
Zlatan is 40 years old this year. Most strikers stops playing around 33.
Man is a beast. Or a Lion... Or a God. Only he knows.
Half of what makes Zlatan great is his talent, his skills, his physics. And the whole other half is his mindset, he doesn't believe in himself, he knows. He is convinced he can do it, he can handle the situation, he can score, he is the right man at the right position, he doesnt doubt. That comes with a slightly douchy behaviour. But it leads to results. And to awesome results. An other guy might see a ball and come to the conclusion that it is impossible to kick it in a way that leads to the ball landing in the goal, not Zlatan, he believes he can make a shot even if the shot is barely possible. That doesn't always work out, but quite often it does and then we get those impossible Zlatan goals to cheer about.
AC Milan and inter Milan the two Milan teams, he played for both
I don't know why but I've always loved how AC and Inter both go with the black vertical stripes but with opposite colors, red and blue. It's like one saying, "No, the black stripes were our idea!" And the other saying, "Fine! But we're doing it too, just with Red/Blue instead of Blue/Red!". It's just exactly the sort of thing sports rivalries remind me of.
Note; I have no idea why their unis are the way they are. This is simply what I think of when I see their kits. And both look awesome. The red of AC is great but the Blue of Inter I like a little more.
@@jona.scholt4362 Yeah , because Inter was actually formed by the former members of AC Milan when some of the members of AC Milan disagreed about only the English and Italian players playing in the team . So they formed Internazionale Milano , which means International Milan . A club where players from different countries can play together and that’s where the rivalry began . And that is why they have black stripes with blue as red and blue are opposite colours and the black was copied from AC Milan .
@@amr4336 I've always wonder why they were called "International"(translated); that's a great story and way to start a legit rivalry. And then to make the uniforms the same except the color change is just pouring gas onto the fire. I love it!
@@jona.scholt4362 Yep , there is always some interesting history in the formation of football clubs . Like how Atletico Madrid was actually created by some Athletic Bilbao fans who lived in Madrid ( atletico means athletic in Spanish). Which is why they have the same colour combination on their jerseys and the same starting name Athletic/ Atletico
@@jona.scholt4362 Which European football club do you support btw ?
Yes, he is still playing.
Now back in AC Milan and in our Swedish national team... he just turned 40 years old..as a striker.
That clip from Parc des Princes with his kids is when he became the PSG all time best goalscorer
Fun facts about Zlatan
All 8 clubs that Zlatan played
Malmo, Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, Manchester U, PSG
excluding LA galaxy are in the UEFA CL this season but unfortunately none of them are drawn in AC Milan group.
Zlatan once had the opportunity to play for Arsenal (great club at that time) when he was 18 .
Arsenal manager asked him to come for trials all he had to was go and give the trial. But he said "Zlatan don't do auditions". The deal didn't came through
Zlatan played with paulo Maldini (GOAT defender) and now he is playing with his son Daniel Maldini which shows his longevity. He is currently in his 23rd season of his Proffesional career.
He will be 40 this year . In football world it's like too old and that too he is still playing at top division of Europe and scoring
Just unbelievable
I admire you!!
You have learned SOOOOO MUCH since you started reacting to football.
GOOD JOB!!
There is a good Zlatan documentary called ‘Making Zlatan’ on Amazon prime following him from a kid through to his Milan days and the difficulties he had adapting off the pitch being alone and his difficult family circumstances
I didn't like the way they showed the goals in this video. It makes it look way less impressive than it actually was. Zlatan is the most unique goal scorer in football history. He has scored some if the greatest goals of all time. You wouldnt believe all these goals came from the same player. But I don't think he's one of the best players of all time. Maybe top 100
Ztalan is still playing for AC Milan. He resigned for another year.
The yellow jersey segment is him playing for the national team Sweden.
He was a foreigner to Sweden cause he was Bosnian . Many great players go to the MLS in the latter part of their career as its an easy league with lots of money in it and a great way to build a fan base, Beckham, Nani, Robbie Keane, Schweinsteiger, Villa, Lampard, Gerrard and loads more. Same thing with the Chinese league
Hi, he was definitely born in Malmo Sweden, his father was Bosnian who emigrated to Sweden.
Just won another Italian Championship aged 40 with AC Milan! Not played as much, but his winning mentality and character even off the pitch or on the bench still inspires and drives teams on! ✌️🙏😎
Good Reaction, as always. At the end, it returned to 2001 when he said "I am Sweden" as for the first time it showed him playing for The National Swedish team and not a club side. He started in Sweden for Malmo then Ajax of Amsterdam then Internationale Milan in The famous Blue and White Stripes then Barcelona then A C Milan (Inter's great rivals ) in the famous Red and White Stripes then France for Paris St. Germain then Manchester United then MLS then A C Milan again. When you said "his return 2011/2012" back to Sweden did not last long it only meant he returned WITH A C Milan to play AGAINST Malmo :)
Blue/Red and BLACK stripes
@@teoperoxd Thank You...
Zlatan: I'm only 20 years old, I have all of my future in front of me
Haaland: I'm already 20 years old, I'm getting old
We do have Chevrolet in the UK and they did sponsor Man United (and the owners are American).
But they didn’t sponsor united because of the uk market.
Take a look at the following greats of football - Maradona,George Best,Johan Cruyff,Bobby Moore,Pele
Probably most people thought that Zlatan would retire once he was done in LA but then again Zlatan has never done what everyone expect him to do, aside from scoring goals. To be able to still do what he is doing at the age of 40 is pretty incredible especially as he has had some pretty bad injuries in the later stage of his carreer. I mean just to be able to play at the highest level for 20 years is insane and also still at almost 40 years of age be the one the teammates in Milan look to whenever a big goal has to be scored is pretty rare.
He tought Chuck Norris how to play football :)
ManU belongs to the Glazers just like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they are the main reason for Chevrolet as Sponsor obviously.
When it comes to Zlatan, he himself summed it up quite well when he moved to L.A. and bought a two page add in the L.A.Times left it blank with just two small lines saying, "Dear Los Angeles, you're Welcome" singed Zlatan...
You’re right, this is hardly a documentary. It doesn’t touch on what he achieved in each respective club, or what caused him to move from one to another. That’s where the story lies.
To me, he was always one of the big three - Messi, C. Ronaldo, and him - but he has attributes unique to him: The agility, the spacial awareness, and the ridiculous amount of ways he can score a goal. (One of my favorites of his is his last assist in Manchester United - lots of people thought it was just a stroke of luck, but no, that was intentional… He knows where everything and everyone is, even if he has his back against them/it).
In Sweden, he is by far the best player ever, to the point even where few think anyone is ever going to touch him.
Others have mentioned that his parents are immigrants, and of course, racism exists everywhere in the world, both the overt kind and the more silent kind. So there’s no reason not to believe him when he says he had a hard time coming up through the ranks in Sweden. But he also credits those hardships for making him who he is. I guess you have to be a little crazy to be able to put in the work needed to reach that level.
It's good you decided to watch the self proclaimed god of football.
Even the self proclaimed god of football knows that Messi is the best

Zlatan Imbrahimovic is a football genius, absolutely brilliant player.
all kits have the club badge on the front (like a coat of arms), usually above the heart
I'd sum up Zlatan as not quite one of the greatest 3-4 players of all time (though he's not far away) but the greatest character! His sense of self-regard is amusing rather than offensive, and he has the ability to back it up.
I remember being frozen in shock when He scored that over head kick against England
my favourite goal ever.
Prior to that goal against England we all thought he was over rated. Not anymore 😃. Sogal, that was the 40 yard overhead kick he mentioned when someone asked him about a Ronaldo overhead kick (26:00 min in to your video). He could never resist a chance for one up manship. The goal is at 30:20.
@@johnbircham4984 English people think everyone who has not played in England is overrated . A really sad mentality by the English .
@@amr4336 it used to even worse, I remember the media constantly claiming we had the best goalkeepers in the world in the 1970s I have no idea where the watching the rest of the world play back then. The odd European and world cup edited highlight perhaps.
@@johnbircham4984 🤣🤣 Sepp Maier and Dino Zoff didn’t exist for them , I suppose .
Football is not just a job for Zlatan, he has a huge passion for the game and he has a HUGE allegiance to his country, Sweden. Like most footballer's, playing for their national team is a huge sense of pride. That is why it means everything to win a World Cup than all the trophies at club or personal level (I am Sweden). This is the 1st video of yours that I have watched, but you can tell what club a footballer is playing for on the crest above their heart.
I'm American and have been watching international football regularly for at least the past 20 years.
Zlatan doesn't play politics and will say what is on his mind. That's why you either love him or hate him. He told Pep at Barcelona "You have a Ferrari and you drive it like a Fiat"! I think he has played for a few teams is bc he wants a challenge and to challenge himself. Not many 41 y/o can say that they can still compete at a European level at that age. He does it with work ethic and confidence. MLS was just too easy for him. He didn't get that mental and physical challenge that he can find in Europe. Hense why he is back at AC Milan.
Teams do have there names in the kit it is a crest on the left chest area of the kits. The team he played for in Amsterdam are called AJAX. When it says he played for Milan he played for both clubs in Milan at separate times in his career he spent time at AC MILAN and spent some time at INTER MILAN
Yeah, maybe not easy for Americans to notice. Not as big and obvious for those new to the game.
Zlatan won Serie A (Highest division in Italy) this year season with AC Milan. First league title for them in 11 years. And Zlatan celebrated style
Spanish to English:
diablo:
wickedness; Beelzebuub; devil; demon; Lord of Evil; Satan; Lucifer; Prince of Darkness; daemon; thunderbolt; flash of lightning; streak; bolt; clap of thunder; malignant person . nice lol.
You need to react to I AM ZLATAN THE MOVIE- it's an amazing video with more context about his history and career. Also one of the best vids I've ever seen
I have been waiting for this video 🤣🤣
Every football team in the world has their name on the badge on their kit above there heart left hand side of kit Liverpool has a Liverbird and then L.F.C underneath her
You have to watch more of Zlatan. This video was not it. Keep doing what you doing
29:35
”So is he back playing formthat same team again?”
What? No this is not footage from club football they are showing now. It’s from his games for the Swedish National Team. From the ”I am Sweden” thing and forward, that’s all from his games for Sweden.
"I love it when they do the backwards kicks into the goal" 😂
We have Chevys here but nobody buys them also you can tell which club they play for because the club badge is on the shirt above the sponsor
Ballon D´or (Golden Ball) is the trophy for the best european footballer of the year.
A little backstories about his personality.:
He creates the word "Zlatanera" (Somebody dominates with power),this word made it to the swedish dictonary. In Malmö (His birthplace in Sweden) they made a Statue of him. On the opening day,he invited all schoolkids for the ceremony and give them schoolfree. the Major claims that zlatan hasn´t the power for that.
Last year the Statue was destroy after the news said that zlaten bought the rivaly team.
Zlatan is no doubt, for me one of the top 10 best football players of all time. Also, MLS is not the graveyard of top European players, the thing is that without a doubt doesn't possess the same level of interest and competition as the top euro leagues, MLS is not the only retirement destination for top players, also the Middle East and China are also destinations for such players.
Not , he is not in the top 10 greatest football players of all time , he may be in the top 50 for sure .
One of the greatest forwards of his era, doesn't have the goal count or amount of trophies that Messi and Ronaldo have but his consistency and longevity is ridiculous, he's pushing 40 and still playing at the highest level
Chevrolet don't really sell any cars in the UK but Manchester United are a global brand so that's why they picked them. No other connection between Man Utd and Chevrolet.
Zlatans parents are from former Yugoslavia, he is born in the suburbs of Malmoe (Rosengård) and he has played in Malmö FF, ACF Ajax, FC Juventus, FC Inter, AC Milan; FC Barcelona, Paris Saint - Germain, Manchester United FC, Los Angeles Galaxy and now he is back in AC Milan in Italy and he has also at 39 years of age made comeback in the swedish nationalteam.
Not the team name but the team "Mark"...check closely and you will se a "Shield"... (on the shirts).
Zlatan scored all of the swedish goals in the friendly game at "Friends Arena" when they beat England 4-2. He retired from international football in 2016 but made comeback in the national team in 2021 and we all hope to see him in World cup in Quatar 2022.
Zlatan just turned age 40!!!! Most other players retire around age 35-36. And then seldom att the top any longer but Zlatan still is a starplayer.. He currently plays topsoccer in Milan, Italy lwho is eading the Serie A att the moment. However he just got back from a injury. Most famous goal is vs England while playing for Sweden from a bicicleta from 40!!! Or the in Ajax going through 5 players and then score.
He is equal to Messi and Ronaldo!
Nice how you are exploring football, fun to follow your journey. All shirts have the club logo on them, which can also include the club name. As a Dutchman, I came to know about him when he played for Ajax Amsterdam. His football qualities are incredible, one of the best for sure. It is also crazy to think he played for Juve, Inter, and AC Milan.
Pronounciation: Slaahtahn Eebraheemowitch - something like that is correct 😀
more Zlat An Ibra him oh vich
Zlatan scored in his first match in all the teams he played for , he also won the shooting league in all clubs exept in Barcelona but would have certainly done it if the coach had let him play more matches . He has been back in Milan for two years and has taking the team back to the top . He also intends to help Sweden in next years World Championships in the summer 2022 . The only title he lacks is the UEFA Champions League , where the best clubs in Europe settle for the title every year , where Milan has a chance to win after failing to qualify in recent years . Also watch I Am Zlatan where he really shows off his entire register on the pitch.
Two comments:
1. You can tell by the team crests on all the jerseys/kits. Since each year, the international club competitions feature about 3/4 of the same teams (i.e. Real, Barca, Liverpool, Man City, Bayern, PSG...), you will normally learn those after 2-3 years by heart, to the point where you can draw the prominent ones from memory. Often, that sponsorship is one of the main sources of revenue for the club (remember they're not owned by a single person like US Football teams). And keep in mind that especially the group stages are on free TV in many countries, so they are quite accessible for Europeans.
2. It's not uncommon for strikers to move around every couple of years, as the opposing teams will learn how to neutralize you, the referees will know your tricks and also, other teams are often willing to pay more. Zlatan is notorious for his quite physical playstile, often on or beyond the border of the rules (this video way very rose- tinted, imo). The same moving pattern can be seen with Dzeko, Eto'o and others. Contracts are often for about 2-3 years, but clubs are often in favour of renewing them timely if a player is good- and someone else does not pay more.
Manchester United and our owners is a whole other story! The glazers grrr
The Glazers piss me off as well. Bought ManU on credit and drove the club into massive debt. Can't stand the Glazers. Coming from an American that is saying a lot.
Footballers rarely play to the end of their contract before switching clubs, but it happens sometimes. The most common way is that another club comes in and buys out the player they want to sign before the contract ends. For example, Barcelona bought Zlatan for about £70 million
is very nice that you had give yourself the oportunity so know a little of Zlatan, with him (compared with the other player styles that you already seen) you can see how diverse and flexible is football, the best sport in the world.
I'll say "Hey" to Scarlett as well! I love when creators have their dogs pop up in their videos!
He's one of the greatest one liner in the world.
Him being a foreigner in Sweden refers to him being the son of immigrants. His father was a Bosniak (Muslim ethnic group in the Balkans) and his mother was Croatian. That's why he has a very Slavic sounding name rather than a Swedish one.
The clubs he played for are:
Malmö FF - Malmö, Sweden
Ajax - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Juventus - Turin, Italy
Inter Milan- Milan, Italy
FC Barcelona - Barcelona, Spain
A.C Milan (rivals with Inter Milan)
PSG - Paris, France
Man Utd - Manchester, England
L.A Galaxy - Los Angeles, USA
A.C Milan (again)
The end of the video shows him playing for the Sweden national team. He is Sweden's all time top goalscorer. He holds the record for the most Swedish player of the year (Guldbollen) awards.
in sweden there are two kind of "foreigners" blatte and utlänning, Zlatan was born in sweden so he is a swede, but he had the look of a blatte so that is what he meant, but I dont think there even is a correct translation for that, it is like the Ne(not Ni) word, but light, now days these people call themselves that so it is no longer considered "racists" I guess.
the point is, he is not blond and blue eyed :P He does not look Swedish so he was classed as blatte and that is what he meant when people looked down on him, not giving him a chance etc as people like that often end up in gangs or do petty crimes, but he broke away from that and become one of Sweden most famous sport stars
Zlatan Ibrahimović's dad is a Bosnian and his mother is a Croatian, they migrated to Sweden in the late 70's from Yugoslavia. He was living a pretty rough neighborhood in Malmö and had told stories of him shoplifting and stealing bikes. Zlatan attended classes for taekwondo as a child, which is why he does some of the almost karate kick style goals, has has received an honorary black belt in taekwondo. Zlatan has made a name for himself by almost always appearing arrogant in interviews with a huge smirk and spark in his eye. Zlatan's twitter is really funny if you are into the very straight forward answers.
Zlatan did play with Messi in 2009 at Barcelona, and the person he talks badly about is Pep Guardiola who was the manager of Barcelona at the time.
Zlatan did the forbidden move of going back to Milano but playing for the other major club in Milano, which caused a huge outrage about him in Italy.
In 2011 AC Milan that he played for, were playing against his boyhood club Malmö FF (where he played before moving to Amsterdam) in a pre-season friendly match and the Malmö fans welcomed Zlatan as a hero and made a huge banner with his purple Lamborghini Diablo that he had talked about in that Swedish train interview. Because the match results did not matter for any competition the entire match were pretty wholesome as the Malmö FF fans were singing to Zlatan for most of the game.
He was saying Egoistic because he knows he has a massive ego. But he backs it up with his football. For example he payed for a page in the los angeles times sayin 'Zlatan has arrived'. Then he came on as a substitute when they where losing for his debut and scored from 40 yards and then scored two more. That is why the commentator is saying "oh come on".
Your theory at the end was actually pretty accurate... I am nowadays pretty good at Geography mostly due to my passion for football since a very young age. ;)
The last team he played for in the video, with yellow shirts, is the Swedish national team. He still plays for A.C. Milan and the Swedish national team
Ibrahimovic is still in A.C. Milan (Italy), at 40 yo. This should be his last season.
He wouldn't left Milan in 2012, he had been sold by the club because of financial issues.
Anyway, he is an arrogant man, but in a positive way. He always has and gives motivation. In the MLS he told his team mates he already has 300 mlns in his bank, so he plays to win, not for money. And this is his way to tell his team mates they have to play better.
And regarding the size of soccer global! Total fans: 1/2 of the planet or 3.5 billion people Soccer is king. Over half of the entire world’s population tunes in to the World Cup each year. And, over 250 million people admit to actively playing soccer. This makes it the most-watched, most-played sport on the planet. Without touching on the absurd number of TV viewers and sponsorship deals, it’s important to remember that soccer crosses boundaries. It’s the most popular sport in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. There’s only one continent where soccer doesn’t reign supreme - North America.
The kits have the symbol of the team on the front, on the left side up in the chest were military medals go, but not the name of the team usually.
The Sponsorship on the shirts thing started happening in the late 70's-early 80's, before then, they were pretty simple - a shirt had a number on the back (no name, until the late 80's early 90s'), and the club crest/badge on the front. The badge is still on the front, above and typically to the left of the sponsor.
He's 40 now, a little bit slower, and a little less ego. But still as dangerous. He's become more of a playmaker these days, giving others the ball and letting them score too.
The three things he hasn't won is the Olympics, world championship, and Champions league. And he's still playing for AC milan, and the Swedish national team.
