The Swede is renowned for his boastful
declarations and scathing put-downs, so I have rounded up the forward's most infamous
outbursts on style, sexuality and Stephane
Henchoz

When Zlatan Ibrahimovic retires from
professional football, he will leave a legacy of
not only on-field brilliance, but also
outrageously entertaining quotes. Indeed, no
footballer has ever provided the press with as
steady a stream of witty sound bites as the
Paris Saint-Germain striker, who this week hit
the headlines thanks to another eye-catching
remark.
In honour of the 32-year-old, I bring you
his 11 greatest quotes:


1)After his Sweden side lost out in the play-offs
to Portugal this week, Ibrahimovic took to his
app, Zlatan Unplugged, to suggest the
competition in Brazil will not be worth the
hype. He saıd : "One thing is for sure, a World Cup
without me is nothing to watch so it is not
worthwhile to wait for the World Cup.”

2) Prior to the two fixtures against the
Portuguese, Ibra was quizzed by a Swedish
journalist over the outcome of the games. The
strikers was non-committal at first, but once
the reporter suggested it could be tricky to
ask the deity, the PSG man replied with a
typically tongue-in-cheek response.
"Only God knows ... You’re talking to him
now.”

3) For a long while Ibrahimovic has been
infamous for his ego, and this is something that
has been evident from the beginning of his
career. Offered a trial with Arsenal, he flatly
snubbed Arsene Wenger with this classic. "No way, Zlatan doesn't do auditions."


4)When asked what he got his wife for her
birthday, the Malmo-born star felt that she
already had everything she could ever need. He saıd:
"Nothing, she already has Zlatan."

5) In his autobiography ‘I Am Zlatan’,
Ibrahimovic discusses the problems his team-
mates face when he is on the sidelines. He saıd : "An injured Zlatan is a pretty serious thing
for any team."


6)INDECENT PROPOSAL?
When quizzed by a female reporter over his
sexuality, Zlatan hit back with this no-
nonsense reply.
"Come to my house and you'll see if I'm
gay. And bring your sister."

7) Asked if his roots had influenced his
footballing approach, Ibra suggested that he
is very much unique. He saıd: "Swedish style? No. Yugoslavian style? Of
course not. It has to be Zlatan-style."


After signing for Paris Saint-Germain in the
summer of 2012, the 32-year-old went house
hunting but had a simple back-up plan if he
failed to find somewhere satisfactory. He saıd:"We are looking for an apartment [in
Paris]. If we don't find anything, then I'll
probably just buy the hotel."


9)Ibrahimovic was asked about making Liverpool defender
Stephane Henchoz look distinctly average. He saıd "First I went left, he did too. Then I went
right, and he did too. Then I went left
again, and he went to buy a hot dog."

10)Zlatan was once asked who the most beautiful
woman in the world was. He saıd
"I haven't met her yet. But when I do,
I'll date her."

11)A reporter learned the hard way why not to
ask Ibra about the origin of scratches on his Face.. When asked Zlatan saıd "You'll have to ask your wife that."
