One of the most controversial players of today, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, opened his soul and talked about his career, but also everything that follows it!
The Milan football player is still in his 40s, and as he says, he still doesn’t know when the end of his impressive career will be.
- Is not easy. I wake up every day and everything hurts, but I won’t give up because of the pain. I’ll play as long as my adrenaline works. I don’t want to, if I stop now, wake up in a few years, sit down and say to myself: “You could have done a little more, you felt good.” I’d better leave when I’m completely done, when I say to myself, ‘I can’t take it anymore.’ But I still can – Ibrahimovic said for “Guardian”.
Many thought when he went to the LA Galaxy that it was the last club in his career, but then he came to the ranks of the Rossoneri and surprised all football fans.
- There is no point in contracts and fame. I don’t need that. The only thing that keeps me going is the adrenaline rush. Everything hurts every morning. You can’t cure that pain if you get two more new followers on social networks. Money will not remove the pain. Attention will not cure you. What cures you is adrenaline. I have no problem with suffering. I eat pains for breakfast. Many do not understand what it means to suffer, because the new generations, with all these platforms, can receive praise with little effort. Earlier generations had to do a lot to get a little attention. I am proud to be old school – said Zlatan.
He also stated that his young teammates from Milan rejuvenated him.
- They have a Benjamin Button effect on me. In six months, this gray hair will darken. I am proud that they are taking on more and more responsibilities, that their mentality is changing. That is my happiness and my adrenaline today. To go out and run as much as they do. I’ve been doing this for 20 years, so they tell me: Ibrahimovic, you have to stop. I think differently. I do it because I want these guys when they see me to say: After everything he did, he still works. I am the opposite. When I was in Milan for the first time, we were a team of superstars. Now we are a team full of talent, the youngest in Europe, and I am at the top again. This project fulfills me. You are expected to succeed with the stars, this was not expected – Ibra added.
He pointed out several times that he had a difficult childhood, but as he says, he got the most out of it.
- I’m not cool because I’m from the ghetto and you shouldn’t feel sorry for me for coming from there. But when you’re already there, you need to get the most out of it. It just depends on you – said Zlatan.
Of course, the inevitable part of his personality is his character, and even the arrogance he shows in some situations.
- Life is ups and downs. If everything was perfect, we wouldn’t have anything to talk about now. We all make mistakes, no one is perfect. You hang a picture with 20 filters on social networks and you look perfect. But when I see you in reality you are not perfect. You look normal like everyone else. People pretend to be perfect. I say: I am perfect when I am. That doesn’t mean I won’t make a mistake. But I will also learn from them – Ibrahimović concluded.
