Zlatan Ibrahimovic | Rises a day early
- Thread starter Peyroteo
- Start date
Off-topic but while we're on Ray Hudson. Nothing tops that:
Ray Hudson is just annoying. Don’t get the fascination. If being a weirdo gets you fans, go to the weird part of internet and knock yourself out. Don’t ruin the games to the point I have to mute the TV
Amazing career end for Zlatan, especially for growing his clothing brand. Comes to the biggest profiled club in the world, does extremely well all things considered then moves to the biggest club in the USA.
Name all over the papers & T.V. He's no fool.

Goal/assist every 102minutes he played for United. I've heard that's the second-best goalpoints to minute ratio in United history, but I don't know if that's true.
It is certainly a lot better than Lukaku so far though.

He was great on Jimmy Kimmel show, plays up his character to perfection. It's the type of confidence the Americans love, so it works brilliant for him.
Great interview - the man knows exactly what his character is and whats expected of him, and executes it perfectly.
Wish it had ended a bit better for him here.
Haha. He really knows how to play his part with the media. Wish I had his confidence.
So humble
Love him. Also feel like a big part in our seemingly fragile mentality and things like the Pogba situation getting out of hand could have been at least a bit negated if Ibra didn't get injured and was still a big part of the squad. He has the temperament and charisma that he wouldn't let anyone really act like that, and would demand a much higher standard of play from everyone. Yeah we weren't great last season, but for the most part, it was a lot of bad finishing and just not making the most out of good play, and then being a bit unbalanced in terms of players at our disposal. It was not a case of players seemingly not putting in the effort, not caring, lack of emotional balance, all that stuff that we've been seeing since the New Year this season.
Feel like he'd give Pogba a slap in the head if he put in some of the performances he has the last few months, and Pogba himself would probably look up to Ibra enough to not let his standards slip that much while both were on the pitch.

We got Zlatan when he was too old. Imagine if he had signed for us 3-4 years ago. We would have won a PL title easy
I'm happy that we got him, even if it was just for one year. Shame we didnt splash out in 2009 for him, when Ronaldo left.
Well said mate totally agree , Zlatan and Pogba had a fantastic relationship and Zlatan really brought the best out in him, for all Zlatan,s ego he was a supreme professional a fantastic role model for the rest of the players and a charismatic natural leader I think his influence has been sadly missed by the whole club and particularly by Pogba
Did he mean that if he was single, he would have spread his investment among US women?
Not sure about that, Moyes and Van Gaal wouldn't have won the title for us no matter the players imo! Also Van Gaal and Ibra hated each other so that wouldn't have worked.
If we got him instead of Barca back in 09 though (replacing Ronaldo as the star), definitely think we would have won at least one of the 2 titles we missed out on. Probably both. Crazy to think but we won 3 titles in a row, then of the next 4 we easily won 2 and missed out on the other 2 by 1 point and then by goal differential. And 3 of those 4 years post Ronaldo were spent having Rooney partner welbeck, hernandez or Berba (plus 1 half season of Rooney being useless). Could've been 7 titles in a row if we replaced Ronaldo with anyone.
Blimey!! Trump would be offended.
Obviously Zlatan being here would have meant LVG wouldn't have been here. It goes without saying. We would have won it the year Leicester won
Man, this commentator has an annoying voice.
This. Loved the way Ibra would bark at other players during the match.
lol.
Captain already haha
La career going as expected after that debut.
The self proclaimed lion going down like Nani
Going down like that just makes me hate footballers.
At least this was pure shithousery from Zlatan, including the lovely theatrics. The way he got your hattrick last year against St. Etienne after winning a penalty with a bit of a dive was way worse as it wasn't even funny.

Always irritates me when an announcer says that the post / crossbar ‘denies’ a player when the ball was struck at an angle that took the ball away from the goal, actually any shot angle. Take the post away in this situation, the ball goes out of play passing over the touch line where the crossbar was. Even if the ball was dipping directly into the goal and it rebounded off the crossbar, it still would have been out since the whole ball would not have crossed inside of the goal line.
Balls off the post / crossbar can actually give an advantage to the offense as it keeps the ball in play and potentially offers up second and third attempts.
A minor quibble, I know!
36 is too old to slap somebody upside the head.
Haven't La Galaxy had a really poor start to the season?
Hmm.... first slapping a guy due to pure arrogance, then faking an injury for minutes to get out of trouble when he knows they have VAR in the States? Pretty pathetic Zlatan.... at least stand up for what you’ve just done.
I was watching the game and it didnt look like he was faking the injury, was helped of and down the tunnel
Zlatan is a proper trailblazer in this regard. Come to think of it, the slap was more like a metaphor of what the world thinks of the MLS. Viva Zlatan.
Ah come on that was some thump
