Alex Schulman has now had enough of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The author and celebrity profile saw the soccer star hard.
“He plays badly and is a bully. Even when he says something stupid about Qatar, people don’t react,” writes Schulman in a column for DN.
There have indeed been dark headlines about Zlatan Ibrahimovic last week. When the star Swede returned to the national team again, he held a highly publicized and controversial press conference where he praised Qatar as a country and the arrangement surrounding the recent soccer World Cup.

He reacts strongly to Zlatan’s behavior and the words he chose during the press conference.
“Now he came alive, when he had to give his tribute speech to the oppressor state, and the strangest thing happened, it was as if Zlatan during the answer itself built up an ever greater disgust towards the person who asked the question – the more he loved Qatar, the more he hated the reporter”, writes Schulman in a column for Dagens Nyheter.

Schulman’s criticism
But the columnist is also really annoyed at what happened to Zlatan’s tribute to Qatar.

Schulman has now had enough of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and strongly distances himself from the Swedish national team star.
“Janne Andersson is terrified, hardly wants to touch it, says that Zlatan must be allowed to think what he wants. Olof Lundh is on Nyhetsmorgon and says that Zlatan is Zlatan, he likes authoritarian rule and stuff like that. Few say no, the year is 2023 and still no one dares to clash with Zlatan Ibrahimovic,” he writes in his column.
