One Bloody Number
I love Zlatan Ibrohimovic. As a footballer he is just sheer class. As a person he is just hilarious.

Funny thing arrogance. I hate some people for being arrogant. Yet in others such as Zlatan it's a brilliant trait. I guess it depends on whether you can justify your own hype.

I can understand he'd be a marmite character though, I bet some people can't stand him. Usually I'd detest anyone who spoke about themselves in the 3rd person but Zlatan can somehow get away with it. So I just wondered what the general feeling was.

Here's some of his funniest quotes to help you decide -

1. On being marked by then Liverpool defender Stephane Henchoz -

“First I went left, he did too. Then I went right, and he did too. Then I went left again, and he went to buy a hot dog.”

2. Reporter – “Do you think it’s even possible for Ajax to lose nine points in nine games?”

“According to my calculations it is possible to lose nine points in only three games.”

3. Zlatan answers criticism from John Carew that Zlatan’s moves are pointless. –

“What Carew does with a football, I can do with an orange.”

4. On the trial he was offered by Arsene Wenger -

“Arsene Wenger asked me to have a trial with Arsenal when I was 17. I turned it down. Zlatan doesn’t do auditions.”

5. When asked by a female reporter about rumours he is gay -

“Come over to my house with your sister, baby, and I’ll show you who’s gay!”

6. When asked what he got his wife for her birthday –

”Nothing, she already has Zlatan.”

7. When asked “Who is the best looking woman in the world?” –

10.When asked about Mario Balotelli’s recent tomfoolery -

He's entertaining but a complete cock at the same time. I like marmite but I'm not too keen on Zlatan.

 
Brilliant goals, hilarious comments and just for what he said about Olof Mellberg you've got to love the guy.
 
Oh yeah I forgot about that -

The day Olof Mellberg decided to quit the national team it was a great loss to Swedish football and the team"

"But to me personally it was an even greater loss. When I had him on the team I never had to look back because I knew he was behind me and I could concentrate on what was going on up ahead.

"Olof was the person that trigged and challenged me. This drove me to want to do more on the pitch."

"Olof had a winner mentality like no other, he simply refused to lose, not only in football but in practically everything."

"And when he did lose, which rarely happened, he refused to admit it. I think this mentality was what took him a long way in his career."

"I’ve been doubly lucky when it comes to Olof. Firstly because I got to play with him, and secondly because I got know the person Olof Mellberg, not only the player."

"If Olof in my opinion is the best Swedish defender of all times, I think the person Olof is even better."

"It is sad that Olof now chooses to end his career because I’m sure he has much more to give."

"I wish Olof Mellberg and his family all happiness and love in the future."

All round entertainer. I wonder what he'll do when he retires from football? Perhaps he'll be offered the anchor roll in Match Of The Day..... Lol
 
Don't love or hate but do like someone who is a bit different and a character. His one liners as you perfectly illustrated are great.

So nearer a love, nowhere near a hate... But I'm not voting because your a big gayer and that is that.
 
Too much hair though.

And yes, when brilliant I don't even know if I would call it arrogance, just a total confidence and self assurance.

 
Yes, I've had the same, even from my mom!

It isn't arrogance, I just know I'm perfect. Hard to hide really isn't it?
