But the person who probably says it best is Lasse Granqvist.
The TV profile really puts into words what all Swedes are thinking after the big farewell.
On Sunday came the day that many still suspected but did not dare to fully believe. Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave his grim announcement and ended his football career for good.

It was hugely emotional at the San Siro when “Ibra” was thanked in the best possible way by Milan and the supporters. A teary-eyed Zlatan thus said goodbye to the entire football world and at 41 years old, he can look back on a fantastic football career.

Ibrahimovic has managed to achieve what few other footballers have been able to do, playing for a full 24 years and winning an incredible 32 titles with nine different clubs during his career. It is truly an era that is now coming to an end and in recent days the tributes have been overflowing.

But no one says it as well as the eloquent Lasse Granqvist. The popular C More profile really puts into words what all Swedes think about Zlatan in this situation in a video that has spread on Twitter, see it below.
– Zlatan Ibrahimovic. We can put an end there. Nothing more needs to be said. Because then we have said the individual player who is the greatest in Swedish football history of all time, says Granqvist in the clip, which is a few years old but still highly relevant.
– I am happy that a part of my professional career has been contemporaneous with Ibrahimovic. I wasn’t there when others who have meant a lot to Swedish football were strong in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond.

Then Lasse Granqvist chooses his words in the best and most respectful way for a living legend of a lifetime who is now putting an end to his playing career, see the video below.
– But I think that Ibrahimovic’s really biggest part will be ready for us only a while after he retires. Therefore, I unfortunately think that it will take a very, very long time, if it even happens within the framework of my lifetime, that we get a player of that dignity. So, maybe I don’t even have to say Zlatan Ibrahimovic. I settle for Zlatan.
