As most footballers (outside of England) enjoy a relaxing winter break, Zlatan Ibrahimovic searches the snow covered wilderness of Sweden for the fuel that keeps him at the peak of his formidable strength: adrenaline.
Like a shark, he cannot stop moving. Always hunting, whether it be on the pitch or on a snowmobile.
Consider this a reminder that Zlatan is always out there. Ready to pounce. He does not rest.
As the Swedish national team arrived back at their hotel after Zlatan Ibrahimovic claimed their place in Euro 2016 and retired all of Denmark, one of the police officers stationed outside the door decided that vigilance and professionalism are nowhere near as important as getting a selfie with Zlatan. A decision all of us can agree is the correct one.
So he asked. And being the generous deity that he is, Zlatan stopped and leaned in for the photo while the three officers there eagerly huddled together to get in the shot. Seeing this happening without her, another officer came running over to squeeze in.
Now with five people trying to fit in the frame, the officer holding the phone couldn’t hold it far enough away to make it work. Seeing his mortal struggle, Zlatan then took the phone and used his longer, more powerful arm to get the job done.
Praise Zlatan and his infinite generosity.
A brace from captain, messiah, and savior Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave Sweden a 4-3 aggregate win over Denmark to send them to Euro 2016. Zlatan’s second goal was an inch-perfect free kick that you have to look at right now…
As if you needed anymore proof that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the true king of Sweden, on the same day he scored the opening goal in their Euro qualifier against Moldova, he was awarded a gold record for a version of Sweden’s national anthem he recorded as part of a Volvo commercial.
Zlatan’s rendition of the anthem has been streamed more than three million times in Sweden, earning him the award, and, according to Zlatan, the record for the most streamed national anthem ever.
Here’s the original ad…
We know that Zlatan is a vengeful god, but he is benevolent too. When PSG drew Malmö, his first club and hometown team, he said it was a “dream.”
“Too bad that all of Malmö won’t fit in the stadium,” he added after the draw three weeks ago. Well, he’s done his best to make alternate accommodations.
On his social media accounts, Zlatan announced that he has booked the Main Square in Malmö on November 25 when PSG visit for the two clubs’ second Champions League meeting (PSG won 2-0 in Paris already). The match will be shown for everyone who can’t fit in the stadium, so there will be no excuse for anyone to miss Zlatan’s triumphant return.
Zlatan also promised more surprises for the day, which probably means that there will be Pep Guardiola piñatas filled with bottles of Zlatan’s new cologne strung up around town.
Zlatan gifted PSG’s YouTube channel with one minute of his time, which was more than enough for him to provide the full Zlatan experience.
In the video, he reveals that he can do more push-ups than his teammates, attends Michael Jackson tribute concerts, does not believe in ghosts, and says that he doesn’t need to wish for any superpowers because he already has them all.
Zlatan is always on message.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been teasing his first cologne for months and now it has a commercial to push the excitement for the new product into a surreal new dimension. I’m not entirely sure what’s happening in this video, but I’m pretty sure this is what you see when you drink an entire bottle of the Zlatan fragrance.
How would you look if a mythical creature appeared before you, bathing you in a majestic light and revealing all that is good to you? Eight-year-old Melwin Löwdahl and 10-year-old Frank Johansson Czarnecki discovered the answer to this question when they came face to face with Zlatan Ibrahimovic before Sweden’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Montenegro.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic famously said “A World Cup without me is nothing to watch” after Sweden lost their 2014 World Cup qualifying playoff to Portugal (he did later attend a World Cup match, though), and it seems he feels the same way about Champions League finals.
Zlatan, who has still never won the Champions League, spent one tumultuous season with Barcelona back in 2009/10. But as his former club prepared to face Juventus in the final, Zlatan posted photos of himself climbing mountains in Sweden to his Instagram account. Read more
