The king has met Zlatan Ibrahimovic on several occasions and in different contexts, he says.
— It has always been very inspiring and interesting, says King Carl XVI Gustaf and continues:
— He has a fantastic career behind him. There are many Swedes who have had wonderful experiences and sat in front of the television and had their hearts in their throats many times.
The king hopes that Ibrahimovic, whom he describes as a great and enthusiastic person, can continue to be an inspiration to young people.
— I hope he can continue to encourage young people to be sporty and take care of themselves in a good way.
