It cannot be said against that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the top footballers of his generation and perhaps the most colorful of them all. He has won titles with all the big clubs he has played with in Europe and is Sweden’s top scorer ever in the national team context.
Zlatan’s career
A total of 12 times, “Ibra” has been awarded the Golden Ball as Sweden’s best soccer player and so far he has won 10 league titles in Italy, France and Spain. As well as a lot of cup titles and further individual awards at home in the prize cabinet.

Despite that, Zlatan continues to play past his 40th birthday, which is usually the defining limit for international footballers at the very highest level. But at 41 years old, the star Swede is getting ready to return to Serie A and Milan again within a few weeks.

Ibra’s dream body
Now Ibrahimovic reveals the secret to being able to continue playing at world-class level as an old fox. And gives his very own tips on training, health and diet to get the body of your dreams.
– I’m only happy when I get to move, so keeping in good shape comes very naturally to me. I can not sit still. Motivation is not a problem for me, because I love being active. I love to challenge my body, it makes me feel alive, says Zlatan in a long interview with GQ magazine.
– I can take it to extreme levels. I have a thing for never being satisfied, I always try to push it to the next level. It is the key to bringing mobility into all areas of one’s life.

In recent years, Zlatan has included a whole new form of training to keep his 41-year-old body in super shape.
– My toughest time was when I was seriously injured and I couldn’t move as I usually do. That’s when I discovered yoga. I’m used to body contact and moving quickly. Whereas yoga was the exact opposite, so it became a new challenge for me and it turned out to be very positive. I had to teach myself to slow down, move slowly and focus. I learned a lot that I could take with me to the football field. That’s why you should never be afraid to try new things, he says in the interview.

Next, Zlatan highlights what is just as important as training, namely what you eat and how you sleep.
– You have to look after your body – in all aspects – in order to be at the forefront of your field. I have always taken care of my body and what I have eaten has helped me stay at the very highest level. Food that works for me is pasta, meat, fish and lots of eggs, Ibra tells GQ.
– Sleep is also very important, but I also want to remind people that you don’t need the perfect conditions to succeed. Not everyone has access to the best food or the best exercise opportunities. I know I hadn’t – and look at me now!
