 “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.” - Zlatan Ibrahimovic



Yes, there is a part of me that I havent showed on Steemit yet. My passion for football or soccer like the Americans say. I grew up with 5 siblings and 3 of them were my older brothers. All of them were soccer players in our home football club and we went almost every weekend to their matches or some tournaments. When I stopped gymnastics and acrobatics, I decided to start with soccer too! I really enjoyed it and miss kicking around a little bit. But to be honest, the women football isnt that good. I wasnt interested in becoming a professional player so I stopped after my older sister got injured  through a foul. She couldnt walk for a while and it took years to fully recover. I stopped but my love for this sports never died! The German football is quite good compared to other countries in this world but I hadn´t found my go to football club. When I met @sirwinchester, he was watching a match from Manchester United. I asked him what he likes about this team and so started my journey to become a "fan" of this club. I wasnt into international football since all of my siblings always talked about German teams. Now I had a view all over Europe. FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Atlético Madrid, Chelsea and so on... 

Yes, I am a woman who doesnt only support soccer every 4 years at the world championship. 


But today´s post is dedicated to Zlatan Ibrahimovic

I havent got a favorite player but Zlatan is definitely one of the best. I still remember the match in 2012 where he destroyed England with a 4:2 ! 


I like players such as Ronaldo or Zlatan who are confident about theirselves but are also very talented. If you havent heard of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, I will show you some interviews and highlights of him right know.

He is a really crazy but funny character as well!

Facts about him

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was born on the 3rd of October in Malmö, Sweden. He became a professional football player and joined teams like Ajax, Juventus F.C, Inter Milan, F.C. Barcelona, A.C. Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and his current team Manchester United. He is 1.95m tall and he earn around £19 million per year at his new team Manchester United. His career is fascinating and I can not wait to see what is coming next. Zlatan got injured not long ago and nobody could tell if he could play once again in his life time. His story is very inspiring. He said that giving up was never an option, he trained hard and is expected to play again in the near future. 


- Now I want to share some quotes of him -


"He should know that I dont want to become the King of Manchester. I will be the God of Manchester!"
"Sweden. This is my country of birth. This is the place where I grew up. I am Sweden!"
"I think I´m just like wine. The older I get, the better I will be!"


Just to let you know that he is really impressed by himself...

Oh yeah, football is the king of sports and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a bright and talented representative. Not long ago he was injured and is now undergoing a recovery, but to all his fans he said "Soon I'll be back. Stronger than ever." Thank you @soldier

Yeah he definitely said that! And I can not wait to see him fully recovered and stronger than ever

If he said, he will, I believe :)

Yah zlatan, the great football. Happy birthday. I know he transfered to man utd last football season. 36yrs, he is still young but football wise he is old. Congrats to him on his birthday.

I thought the same. 36 is a little old in football but as long as he is in great shape, no matter to worry!

Yes you are very correct. Is he still at man utd? I dont follow football lately.

Yes he is! It wasnt quite sure at a moment after his injury but he will soon be back in a red devil uniform!

Ok. Good for him.

One of the last remaining icons of sports, a real personality - he is himself, not the typical football soldier you can exchange to any other player

zlatan ibra is big player But he is very arrogant in his actions and statements

Thats true. He is very arrogant but I think its okay as long as he shows some skills

Zlatan?? Bodybuilder??? No serious; The best ever, its a pity he is out of competition at the moment, but sure He will be back, even better and dedicated.
A lot info shared and some nice vids, Thanks !!

Glad you like it!

He will be back stronger than ever and I can not wait for that!

Just perfect.. wow :)

Thank you :)

Ibra Ibra Ibra... still remember hearing this when going to PSG games...

Haha yes thats his nickname.

Played a lot of soccer myself when I was a kid. Just lost interest halfway. It was pretty huge here in Singapore at one point :)

You’re feom Singapore?
I think most interests in soccer are here in Europe but I still have heard about soccer in Singapore !

Yup. It's pretty big here. Everyone watches the matches in the Europe leagues. My brother is a Manchester United fan.

We've our own league here too, and it's picking up, although skill level wise, it's a far cry from Europe of course.

Check this out. This goal alone has gone down in legend by one of our top players.

it's so incredible comrade your story .... I wish you always have success

Thank you! Really appreciate it!
Same for you

Zlatan Ibrahimovic : "Lionel Messi Is One Of A Kind'
if it comes from the mouth of the king, i dont know why people still arguing

Zlatan is both a great footballer and a unique character. I don't think I'll ever put him above the likes of Messi but he has certianly cemented his place in football history. The only thing missing from his trophy cabinet is a Champions League medal and despite already being quite old in footballing terms, he still has a chance to secure one with Manchester United.

He is also known by donating to poor families in Sweden. He feels related as he himself came from a ''ghetto'' district and had a harsh time growing up there.
