I Am Zlatan’s ghostwriter, fellow Swede David Lagercrantz, admitted to some nerves when the time came to turn in his work. “You can imagine the moment when I, the fake Zlatan Ibrahimovic, had to send the manuscript to the real Zlatan Ibrahimovic,” he said. “The first thing [Ibrahimovic] said was: ‘What the feck is this? I never said this!’ But after a while I think he understood what I was trying to do. Nowadays he thinks it’s really his story.”
