Recently, AC Milan officially announced that it has renewed his contract with Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic until next summer, with an annual salary of 7 million euros after tax. Ibrahimovic made 17 appearances for AC Milan this season, scoring 15 goals, extremely efficient and in excellent form.
After the renewal of the contract, Ibrahimovic said happily, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time, Milan is like my home, and now I will continue to play here, this is amazing! I now miss the fans of the Stadium very much! ”
The legend continues! Let's revisit the famous words that Ibrahimovic said in those years.
Ibrahimovic was born in Malmö, Sweden, in 1981 to a Bosnian father and a Croatian mother. Later, a reporter asked Ibrahimovic whether his style of play was Swedish or Yugoslav, and Ibrahimovic replied "Zlatan style." ”
In 1998, at the age of 17, Ibrahimovic received a trial invitation from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, but Ibrahimovic did not hesitate to refuse, "Zlatan never accepts any trials. ”
In a 2004 friendly between Sweden and the Netherlands, Ibrahimovic brought down van der Vaart, which directly caused van der Vaart's ligament to tear. Van der Vaart accused Ibrahimovic of deliberately kicking himself, to which Ibrahimovic responded, "You know I didn't mean to hurt you. If you accuse me again, then I will kick your legs off, and this time I did it on purpose. ”
In 2012, Ibrahimovic moved from AC Milan to Paris Saint-Germain, and at a press conference, Ibrahimovic said, "To be honest, I don't know what Ligue 1 is, but Ligue 1 must know me very well. I think people in Paris today have something else to see besides the Mona Lisa. ”
In 2013, Brazil World Cup qualifier play-off Sweden vs Portugal, pre-match reporters asked Ibrahimovic, Sweden and Portugal who can qualify? Ibrahimovic replied, "Only God knows the answer, and you are talking to God right now." ”
After the match, Sweden was eliminated by Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, and in the face of media interviews, Ibrahimovic replied: "The World Cup without me is not worth watching, so there is no need to look forward to its arrival." ”
Ibrahimovic scored a hat-trick twice
In 2016, Ibrahimovic ushered in the curtain call at Paris Saint-Germain, tweeting before the match that "when I came, I was the king, and leaving was legendary!" ”
When asked what kind of player is a legend, Ibrahimovic replied, "People always have the habit of saying that people can't be legends before they die, but I am a living legend." ”
Ibrahimovic once said of Liverpool centre-back Henkzi's close defence to himself: "I ran to the left and he followed me; then I ran to the right and he followed me; finally I ran to the left and he ran to buy a hot dog." At first it was talent that controlled me, now I control talent. ”
A reporter once asked Ibrahimovic which position is the best stadium position? Ibrahimovic replied: "I can play all 11 positions because great players have to be competent for any position on the pitch. ”
Karoo once criticized Ibrahimovic, arguing that some of his technical moves were simply unnecessary, and Ibrahimovic responded directly, "The actions you complete with football, I can complete with oranges!" ”
When the new crown virus hit the world, Ibrahimovic called on everyone to wear masks and do a good job of safety protection, "The virus challenged me, I won, but you are not Zlatan, so don't try to challenge the virus." ”
Not long ago, Ibrahimovic said in an interview, "I am now 39 years old, I could have stopped working and enjoyed a good life. But I've always been passionate about what I do and I've always wanted to do more. Maybe that's why I was able to be here today and keep playing. At my age, a lot of people can't do what I do. Usually after 30 the players' form declines, but I get stronger after 30. ”
