"I am Zlatan" - the story of the flamboyant Swedish striker

The autobiography that will change your negative opinion of Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is definitely a phenomenon in the history of football. Amazing performances on the field, speeches off the field, behavior typical of a man who is much better than the rest, goals that if you close your eyes and hear his name you can immediately imagine, acrobatic plays he is capable of a true fit and trained athlete and a long career that will always amaze everyone. Whatever we say about Zlatan himself, it would be little if he himself does not say it about himself.

It is clear that when we have such an interesting personality, we cannot help but look for an autobiography that describes at least part of the life of the legendary Swede. And we find her with the simple name "I am Zlatan". The title says it all. We will read something to help us write the words that begin this material more easily.

Ibrahimovic's story is told by David Lagercrantz, a famous Swedish journalist and novelist. And in fact, the book reveals to us what we do not know about Zlatan, what remains hidden from the cameras on and off the pitch, what he himself has not mentioned anywhere.

The striker's autobiography details the years he grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in the Swedish city of Malmö to become one of the highest-paid players who has managed to leave his lasting mark at a variety of teams around the world, including Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Milan and Barcelona.

By reading Zlatan's book, he slowly begins to transform from the bad boy, the mischievous, and cocky person you know, to a character you might even like. You understand his masked behavior much better. You may find it much easier to accept the transfer decisions he makes in his career.

In style, I Am Zlatan is no different from most autobiographies, it is written in a more conversational tone that is extremely enjoyable to read and the words used are simpler and closer to common diction. It can also attract people who are not so much interested in the athlete himself or football in general, but simply for people who want to know more about the life of a famous person who is bullied for being cocky and overconfident.

The only problem you might run into is that it was written before his spells at Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Los Angeles Galaxy and second spell at AC Milan, so there's certainly plenty to add as stories in the future. However, it would be nice to read it while watching one of his matches. This is how you can understand his way of playing, the bizarre and beautiful actions, the aggressive approach to each single combat and the behavior with which he risks incurring the wrath of his opponents, referees and fans of the opposing team.

Overall, I Am Zlatan is very fascinating in how it allows the reader to learn various unknown aspects of Ibrahimovic's life. It allows you to get under the skin of one of the best professional football players not only of our time, but in the entire history of the sport.
