Zlatan Ibrahimovic has ended his football career.
But he hasn’t changed a bit.
Now he has just made the entire football world laugh – after a question about Cristiano Ronaldo.
A year has passed since Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sweden’s greatest footballer of all time, put his shoes on the shelf. Zlatan belonged to the absolute world elite for almost 20 years, scoring goals for clubs such as Manchester United, Barcelona and Milan. But despite all the titles and all the goals, he will perhaps always be best remembered for his completely neat personality.
Zlatan’s meeting with the world star
Ibrahimovic has never been afraid to speak his mind, and his quotes have more than likely gone viral over the years. And there will be even more of that stuff in the coming years. Ibrahimovic is now an advisor in Milan’s organization, which means he can be seen in more contexts than he did as a player. And such an example came during Tuesday.
YouTube creator IShowSpeed has become a world phenomenon with his live broadcasts on the platform, and when he was in Sweden last week, there was total hysteria in Stockholm as people tried to get close to him. During Tuesday, Speed, or Darren Watkins Jr as he is actually called, was in Milan, and then had a meeting with Zlatan Ibrahimovic himself. And it didn’t take long before the Swede presented himself in the most expected way ever, and as a pass to all the soccer players that IShowSpeed had previously met.
– Finally I get to meet you, and finally you get to meet the real thing, not like the others, says Zlatan.
Viral words about Ronaldo
IShowSpeed is one of the world’s biggest social media creators with over 26 million(!) followers on YouTube, and his live broadcasts on TikTok are usually followed by millions. During the broadcast with Zlatan, the creators were given a guided tour around Milan’s dressing room, and they both took the opportunity to play tricks with a ball. But the most perfect moment came when they were both in a car to go somewhere.
IShowSpeed then asked Zlatan who he prefers between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and Zlatan’s answer was really spot on, and it went viral on social media.
– Zlatan, says Ibrahimovic first in response to the question, but after a moment of silence he continues:
– Do you want me to be serious or should I joke? If I’m serious, Zlatan is the best.
