Zlatan for rent returned to Italy - in Milan, where he did not play before that time. But he was hardly sorry about the transition - he won the next scuds and was close to one more.
Like everything in the world, football is also developing, changes and acquires new features. New positions appear on the field, such as, for example, "false nine" - a player who performs the role of an attacker, but at the same time is a "free artist". However, this is not that the team needs a good Thalent Forward, which can independently create a dangerous moment and implement it on its own. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is exactly such a football player, and it is unlikely that today you will find a striker who would be better than him.
early years
The future football genius was born in 1981 in Sweden, in the city of Malmo, while his father was Muslim, and his mother is a Christian. Because of this, there is a false information that Zlatan Ibrahimovich is Muslim, but it is not. The football player himself repeatedly recognized that he did not relate to one of the currently existing religions. But this did not prevent him from becoming a brilliant player. Zlatan Ibrahimovich began her career in his hometown, in the Malmo's elementary club. There he graduated from the football academy, played for the youth compositions of this club, and then concluded his first professional contract at the age of 17. For "Malmo" Ibrahimovich played only two years - such a talent was impossible not to notice, and 19-year-old Zlatan moved to Holland, to Amsterdam "Ajax", which was always famous for work with young people. The Dutch paid for the seam almost 8 million euros - an impressive amount for the time for such a young player. Three seasons, the young Swede honed his skill in the fields of Holland and, of course, lit up for the whole world - he largely contributed to the fact that Ajax won the two championships of Holland. Of course, Zlatan Ibrahimovich immediately said goodbye to Amsterdam when he received a tempting offer from Italy.
The publication
16 million euros - it was so much for the Turin "Juventus" for the 22-year-old Swede, and, as it turned out later, did not regret it at all. Zlatan Ibrahimovich himself during his stay in Juventus was named the best foreign player of the Italian championship, as well as the best football player of the year of Sweden. And let him not be able to see the victory in the Italian championship with Juventus in two years of his stay, "Old Signor" is not offended by him. After all, Zlatan flashed on the whole world, showed himself and in 2006 he moved to Inter "- only he paid for the Swedes for 9 million euros more than Juventus.
Start of Epopea
It is from this transfer that the conversations began that Zlatan and loyalty to the club are incompatible things. Many players play for one club for 10 years, someone spends all their careers in one place, but Zlatan was not interested in this - he initially wanted to always go ahead and seek more.
Therefore, he accepted the "Inter" proposal in 2006 - and became a practically legend of this club. For three years, the games in the camp of the Black and blue Zlatan Ibrahimovich knocked almost 70 goals - all these three years "Inter" became the champion of Italy. Moreover, the Swedish striker became probably the only player of the Italian club, who managed to win 4 Super Cup for three years in the club. Football player full of significant marks Biography: Zlatan Ibrahimovich a second time was recognized as the best foreign player of the series A, was named the best player of the championship, twice became a football player in Italy, three times - a football player of the year in his homeland, in Sweden, and in 2007 was even awarded title Best athlete Sweden. And after three years of hard work, the only club, which wanted to get Ibra, was the Great Barcelona.
Missing character
The guide "Inter" did not want to let go of the player who literally worked for them success, but the desire of Ibrahimovich to play "Barcelona", as well as the amount that the Catalan club laid out for the attacker was so high that Inter surrendered.
And in 2009, Swedish football player Zlatan Ibrahimovich became the player of the world's best club, who paid 69.5 million euros for this transfer. But what was it a mistake - Forward spent only one successful season in the Catalan club, but his appearance there coincided with the beginning of the era Guardiola and Messi. Ibrahimovic, who wanted to see in his coach of a real man, strong, with character, did not find these features in Hospene Guardiol, because of what conflicts began to occur in the club, because Ibra has always been famous for its irresistible character. But the true reason for the fact that the 70 million purchase was useless for the club, the fact that Lionel Messi was revealed in Barcelona - a player who is now considered the best football player of modernity. Messi wanted to play on the position of Ibrahimovich, and Guardiola had picked up her "Golden Boy" in every possible way, which Zlatan could not bear. Therefore, after a year he was sent to the annual rental in Milan.
Return to Italy
Milan for Ibrahimovich laid 6 million euros, while he received the right to buy a player at the end of the season with the addition of another 24 million. "Rossoneri" extremely needed strong forward, and Ibrahimovic became the one who was needed by the Italians. In the first season after the arrival of Ibra "Milan" won the Italian championship, and then the Super Cup of Italy. Naturally, Milan decided to redeem the rights to striker, and although Ibra did not bring the club a victory in the Italian stage, he became the best bombard of the A. Series at the same time, it is worth noting that both years spent in Milan, Ibrahimovich recognized the best player of the year in Sweden. Fans loved Ibru, and he, in turn, liked to play for the club, but in 2012 the Milan fairytale came to an end.
New challenge
As if Ibrahimovich loved "Milan," he still adhered to his course in life, so when a proposal was received from the French "PSG" bought by rich sheikh, Ibra could not resist. I could not resist and "Milan" - if "Inter" to the last fought for the Swedish striker, then black and red immediately accepted the proposal of the French club, which was ready to pay 21 million euros. This money was needed by the club, as he was in a difficult financial condition, so the question was not solved for a long time, and the new season Ibrahimovich began already in the T-shirt "PSG". Here he spends the second season already, and in the first, as in the case of "Milan", Zlatan brought his club to the championship. Again, he was named the best football player of the year in Sweden, which was no longer surprised, and also became the best scorer of the championship, scoring 30 goals in 34 matches. In his 32 years, Ibrahimovic is still a serious threat to defenders and goalkeepers of the opponent of any level.
Career in the national team
In addition to the game for various clubs, Ibrahimovich also played for the National Swedish national team. Unfortunately, this team is not so strong and little can show in the international arena, but Ibrahimovich added all these years to her strength and power in the attack. For his career, Zlatan took part in two championships of the world and two European championships. In total, he spent 63 official matches, scoring 32 goals, - with these indicators the captain of the national team is one of the best football players in the history of Sweden.
I - Zlatan
About Ibrahimovich Many people talk badly, mentioning his selflessness and bad character, but in the usual life that is far from football, he is not so terrible as they paint. A friendly family lives in Paris: Zlatan Ibrahimovich, his wife Helen, who is an actress and a fashion model, as well as 7-year-old Maximilian and 6-year-old Vincent - two sons who were born in a couple even when Zlatan performed for Inter. In the circle of friends Ibra - the company's soul, an open and disinterested person. Well, in 2011 I saw the light of the autobiography of Zlatan Ibrahimovich, which is called "I - Zlatan" - there is described both the football and the personal life of the Swede.
