What's up GQ?
This is Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
I'm going undercover on the internet.
It's actually me.
Instagram.
This man was built for American TV.
I am American TV.
I think American TV is Zlatan's audience.
Europe is a different audience.
But I don't care. I'm still Zlatan.
What I like about being analyst is that I'm not a professional
and it's not my job, so I cannot do mistakes.
So whatever I do, it's world class.
Replied.
But in eFootball, there is your height only 195, but you say 197.
My word is more important than the eFootball.
Okay?
197, not 195.
Bro, did Messi love you back like you love him?
Who said I love him?
I like him.
It's big difference.
No, no.
He's fantastic.
He's amazing.
And he loves me also.
TikTok.
Would Zlatan or Bruce Lee win in a fight?
Good question.
I mean, he was a small guy.
He move like a ninja, but I move also like a ninja.
I don't know.
Good question.
We will never know.
Be water.
That's what you say, yeah?
Sometimes it doesn't matter what you won, just how you played.
What's the difference between good player and great?
It's a big difference.
A good player is normal.
Great is unnormal.
If you didn't understand yourself, you should study more.
Quora.
How many languages does Zlatan Ibrahimović speak?
Five, six languages.
I communicate.
I don't know if I speak well.
Number one.
My idol is Ronaldo the Phenomenal.
For me, he was just something else.
I look up to him and I try to copy him.
Nobody was like him.
Then I would put Maradona, Zidane, Messi, obviously.
Van Basten.
That's my top five.
In general, I'll put Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Roger and Djokovic.
Same position.
Zlatan, Tom Brady.
You like it or not, it's not my problem.
How would you compare Zlatan and Yamal with and without the ball?
It's two different players.
One is left-footed and one is right-footed.
Both can use the weaker foot if we have a weak foot, which I don't believe we have.
I'm 40-something.
He's phenomenal and he's only 18.
You cannot compare.
Every player has his own story and legacy.

How can I have full confidence like Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
Don't give up.
You might fail, but fail is part of the success.
If you don't have enough power and that, lean to my story.
And my story is going to transform power and confidence to you.
Why is Zlatan Ibrahimovic a savage and a badass player?
I'm just being myself.
I go with confidence.
People call it arrogant, but that's ignorant people.
Intelligent people call it confidence.
Confidence is when you do something, you believe in what you do
because you know you're good at it.
Arrogance is you think you're above other ones just by the mindset.

How many red cards has Zlatan Ibrahimovic gotten?

We found four.
That's a lot.
Reddit.
Let's go Reddit.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic announces that he will fight Tyson Fury on August 1st in Dublin.
Let's see what happens.
I just have to gain 30 kilos and then maybe.
**** Ibra for what?
It's obviously just a net.
You really believe Ibra is fighting Tyson Fury?
Why shouldn't you believe?
I will not turn down a challenge.
He has a black belt in, I think, taekwondo.
Yes.
When I played football, I did collective training with other ones
to get social with other people, to communicate,
to learn to respect other people around me.
Taekwondo is an individual sport.
So basically one is individual, one is collective.
And it gave me the discipline in everything I do.
In normal life also.
Jesus, I can write a book after this interview.
Giving you so many wise words.
Are there any players who are similar to Zlatan?
No.
You too.
I have to accept it's over.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic on his retirement from football.
Yes.
When I accepted it, it got out of my system.
Because I was panicking before that.
So a little bit afraid.
Even if people would not believe it.
But I was a little bit afraid because of what will happen after I retire.
So when I accepted it, it was a relief.
When did Zlatan become the Chuck Norris of football?
I don't know.
Because I never became Chuck Norris.
Gotta be best goal ever.
Yes.
And it's against England.
So the feeling is even more nice.
Because they didn't like me.
They thought I was a prima donna.
And I gave them a goal they will remember forever.
We call it bicycle kick.
Basically you jump up.
You're backwards where you want to kick the ball.
And you just do ninja move.
And then the magic happens.
But the difference between this one and the other ones is that this one was from 40 meters.
Try that.
Zlatan still has.
No, he's not.
When you were shooting this Fox commercial with Tom Brady, did you really shave your head?
I mean, when we shot it, it was better that I shaved my head.
Because Tom Brady is a good looking guy.
So we didn't want to touch him.
But it was not for real.
Thank God.
I would lose a lot of sponsors.
X.
Wait.
How in the world did Zlatan get in the Swedish dictionary?
How did I get in there?
Easy.
I put Sweden on the map.
So this is what they gave me back.
But I think they should have given me more back.
But it's okay.
I'm a nice guy.
What's up, Frank?
Are you Frank's Swedish cousin?
Oh my God.
I wish I was in this movie.
Because this is how I feel when I play my game.
When I played, I used to switch on.
And I felt like the punisher on the pitch.
I would do anything to win.
Whoever steps in front of me, I would smash him.
I see myself when I see him.
Like, maybe not the war situation.
But I went through also a 10-year war.
If we go more serious and deep, from my father's roots.
And I went through 10 years of a lot of things happening.
Obviously, I didn't get demons in my head like Frank.
Not resolved.
But the way he did his thing, that's how I feel.
But remember, it's a movie.
It's not for real.
All I want to know is how Uzlatan have picked and performed
at the World Cup halftime show.
I would like to see Muhammad Ali for 15 minutes
dance around in the ring and knock out his opponent.
You never saw something like this before, huh?
You can shut down this platform after I do my interview.
I need to know what he's loving about the US.
Everything.
For me, I lived in LA two years.
I had a great time.
I'm back in US and it's just different.
Everything here is different and is much bigger.
I enjoy it.
Wikipedia.
Let's go.
At the age of 15, he was close to quitting his football career
in the favor of working at the docks in Malmo.
But his manager convinced him to continue to play.
Working in the docks.
No, he's not true.
He's not true.
I was playing football.
I was going to school.
I was actually good in school.
My father wanted me to be a lawyer,
but I become the football player.
So it felt like everybody was against me.
It felt like I didn't feel welcome.
Obviously, I had different backgrounds.
I'm from Sweden, but my mother is from Croatia.
My father is from Bosnia.
And it felt like I had to do much more than the other ones.
And everything I did was not enough.
And every little mistake I did,
I got punished for it much more than the other ones.
If it was the same mistake.
So it was not easy because I felt alone against everybody.
But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
No, that's the word.
The only player to score in his Premier League,
Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League debut.
That's true.
I think I scored in every...
But you missed the MLS here.
So Wikipedia, you got to step it up.
People need to know this.
So yes, I scored in every debut I did.
Oldest player to score in Serie A history.
To be honest, it's not a record I want.
In 2018, Ibrahimović mentioned that his wife
only allows him to hang one picture of himself at home.
True.
We have no pictures in my home.
The only picture we have is on my feet.
Because every time my family step in my home,
they have to remember where this home came from
and the food we get and everything we have.
Those two feet.
Feet.
Okay, that...
You see, when you tell me to say what you want, it's a mistake.
Always be yourself and say however you want.
So now we're gonna do it my way.
That's it from me.
I'm Zlatan and you know who the **** I am.
And I'm signing off.
Oh my God, you're gonna break all the records with this.
