Zlatan Ibrahimovic
I do love cars.Collection: Car
When I went to Juventus, I was young, but in training, I had legends like Fabio Cannavaro and Lilian Thuram marking me. I had to work hard to get my respect.Collection: Respect
I decide my future. I decide what I want to do. Nobody else. If I decide this will be my last year, maybe it is. If I decide it will be my last contract, I decide that. Nobody else. So I will decide when the moment is there.Collection: Future
I read all the time that people think I'm arrogant. They say I am cocky, a bad character. I had that from a young age. But when they meet me, they say, 'That image doesn't fit you.'Collection: Age
I do not need a trophy to tell myself that I am the best.Collection: Best
If anything, the children of Paris should be giving me even more money for having the privilege of being in the same city as my incredible quality. And so should David Beckham. Call it a Zlaritable donation.Collection: Money
At Barca, players were banned from driving their sports cars to training.Collection: Sports
I respect the Premier League.Collection: Respect
I think I'm like wine. The older I get, the better I get.
Nothing is written in stone, as a career is an unpredictable journey.
You never forget where you come from.
I did many stupid things. I made many mistakes, but I learnt from everything. I still make mistakes; I still learn from them. Nobody is perfect.
Arsene Wenger asked me to have a trial with Arsenal when I was 17. I turned it down. Zlatan doesn't do auditions.
When people criticize me, instead of putting my head down, it gives me energy to do even more.
Anything that happens in your life was meant to happen. It is your destiny. I was destined to have the life I have now, and I can't have any regrets.
When you buy me, you are buying a Ferrari. If you drive a Ferrari, you put premium petrol in the tank, you hit the motorway, and you step on the gas.
I'm like the wine. The older I get, the better I get.
I think I am difficult to satisfy, because when I win something, I'm already thinking about the next step, and that is maybe a problem for me. I'm not enjoying the moment. I'm already on the mission to win the next trophy.
Lionel Messi is awesome.
I got a bike when I was little, a BMX. I called it 'Fido Dido' after the tough little cartoon guy with spiked hair. I thought he was the coolest thing ever.
Do you know what I love about hunting? That I am no one in the woods, no one at all. I thought the animals might recognize me, but they didn't. They did not even ask me for any autographs.
I know I'm good enough. I don't need to show it to you. Either you know who I am, or you don't.
If you are too nice, you will just get eaten alive. The football world is not always a nice place.
I wish anyone in this world could go to his fridge and pick whatever he wants. Because the day you open your fridge and there is nothing in it, it is difficult.
I had time with my mother, but I really lived with my father. One time he gave all his salary so I could travel to a training camp. He couldn't pay the rent, but he did that.
When you are the invisible man to the head coach, the only option is to head for the exit.
Best player I ever played against? I mean, I played against many, many good players, so I don't know who to keep. I would say Ronaldo the Fenomeno.
I can't help but laugh at how perfect I am.
My father is from Bosnia, and my mother is from Croatia, but I was born in Sweden.
Never judge a person if you don't know him.
You were born as the one you are.
I always want to become better. If never being satisfied is a problem, then I have it. At least it's a good problem.
Who is most deserving of all of the money that I, Zlatan, am paid? The answer is Zlatan.
When I arrived at Barcelona, I was following a dream, but I now realize sometimes it's better to be content with what you have rather than follow a dream which nearly kills you.
If I had an ego as big as the Eiffel Tower, would I have won this many collective trophies? I know people like to talk about it. And O.K., I am not going to answer every story. But maybe I will let my collective trophies speak for themselves. I don't know many other footballers who have won as much. Do you?
It is nice to know that even David Beckham doesn't have good taste in everything.
I still feel I need to do things 10 times better than other players. Just to be accepted and to improve myself.
If you are different, or you have minimum possibilities, you can still succeed. I am living proof of that.
I'm not difficult to work with, trust me.
Some coaches prefer players who will just do whatever he tells them to. It's like, if you're at school with a load of 10-year-old boys and you tell them to jump, everyone will start to jump. But the intelligent boy will ask, 'Why should I jump? Why?' That can be difficult for a lot of coaches, and I understand that.
I would love to play alongside Wayne Rooney. He does the running of two or three players and makes a lot of space. We would be the perfect combination.
Whenever life's at a standstill, I need some action.
I am a guy who likes those who drive through red lights.
When I took my shirt off against Caen, everybody asked what these new tattoos were. I had 15 removable tattoos on my body; they are the names of real people who are suffering from hunger in the world.
I have a big heart.
One thing is for sure: a World Cup without me is nothing to watch.
I always put myself second - I like to make others happy.
I always drive like a madman.
I'm not someone who feels settled.
Some things is made by destiny, yes, other things by hard work, but quality you don't learn. Quality you are born with.
