Ibrahimovic: I’m a Superman from Planet Zlatan!

By Daily Sports on November 23, 2018

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s unique perspective on life has seen the Swede bill himself as “Superman”, with a mercurial talent claiming to come “from my own planet – Planet Zlatan”.

A man currently on the books of MLS side the LA Galaxy has never shied away from generating headlines and making himself the centre of attention.

A remarkable career has taken him from Malmo to Los Angeles via Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.He has always done things his way, and is not about to change at 37 years of age.

“I came from my own planet, with something that no one has seen,” Ibrahimovic told BBC Sport.

“I'’m a guy from this area that they think is the ghetto. They saw me differently, they did not make me feel welcome, they did not make me feel like everyone else, but I came with something else and now they follow that. I came from my own planet – Planet Zlatan.”

Wherever he is from, Ibrahimovic has positioned himself at the very top of the game after tasting title successes in Netherlands, Italy, Spain and France, while also landing three trophies in England.

He has plundered over 440 club goals along the way, while netting 62 times in 116 appearances for his country.

Ibrahimovic said of being sidelined with knee ligament damage: “When it happened I did not understand what I was going through, I had never had a serious injury. I was like Superman, I was unbreakable and no-one could break me, only Zlatan could injure Zlatan.

“I said: ‘This is not the way I want to stop playing football. The way I walked in is the way I will walk out, not by limping or someone saying it’s over’. This was a new challenge for me and I said I would come back when I was ready and I would play exactly as I did before. When I cannot do that I will not continue in football because I'm not here for charity. (Goal)
