Early Life

Zlatan Ibrahimović was born in Malmö, Sweden on 3 October 1981.His father, Šefik Ibrahimović, immigrated to Sweden from Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1977. His mother, Jurka Gravić, also immigrated to Sweden from the village of Prkos in Škabrnja, Croatia around the same time.After receiving a pair of football boots, Ibrahimović began playing at the age of six, alternating between local junior clubs Malmö BI and FBK Balkan. While in his early teens, he was a regular for his hometown club Malmö FF.At the age of 15, Ibrahimović was close to quitting his football career, in favour of working at the docks in Malmö, but his manager convinced him to continue playing. His idol was Brazilian footballer Ronaldo when he was growing up.

Style of play

"Swedish style? No. Yugoslavian style? Of course not. It has to be Zlatan-style."

— Ibrahimović describes his unique playing style^[230]

Ibrahimović has been described by ESPN as being "good in the air, quick, tall, strong and agile, he plays well with his back to goal and boasts some of the best finishing, vision, passing and ball control around. A versatile and well-rounded footballer, from a tactical standpoint, Ibrahimović is capable of playing anywhere along the front line, due to his ability to both create and score goals for his team, although he is most often deployed as a striker, due to his composure and eye for goal.He has also functioned in a more creative playmaking role at times, as a supporting forward or even as a number 10, in particular in his later career, after losing some of his pace and stamina with age; this deeper position allows him to drop into midfield to pick up the ball, where he can utilise his technical ability, vision, passing, and movement to create space and provide assists for teammates.

While naturally right-footed, Ibrahimović is a powerful and accurate striker of the ball from both inside or outside the penalty area with either foot,and is also known for his accuracy from penalties and dead ball situations.An accurate finisher with his head as well as with his feet,his height, elevation, and strength often give him an advantage at winning aerial challenges, and also allow him to function as a "target man";despite his large stature, Ibrahimović is uncommonly agile for a player of his size,and his athleticism and ability in the air have seen him score several goals from acrobatic strikes and volleys throughout his career, which earned him the monicker Ibracadabra in the Italian media.In spite of his size and physique, Ibrahimović possesses excellent technique and ball control, which, coupled with his balance, power, and physicality, enables him to hold up the ball well with his back to goal, retain possession, and link up with other players;he has also been praised by pundits for his creativity and dribbling skills.

Due to his prolific goalscoring, consistency, and spectacular strikes,Ibrahimović is regarded by many in the sport to be one of the best players in the world and one of the most complete strikers of his generation;he has also drawn praise from managers and teammates for his leadership and longevity, as well as his fitness, professionalism, and dedication in training.Although he has been criticised for his work-rate in big matches, in particular in his youth,throughout his career he has scored in some of the biggest matches in football, including the Milan Derby in Italy, El Clásico in Spain, Le Classique in France, and the Manchester Derby and North-West Derby in England, as well as in UEFA Champions League and UEFA Euro Championship games, against some of the strongest opponents in football, also winning titles in several different countries;he is the only player to have scored for six different clubs in the Champions League.Known for his extroverted personality, despite his reputation as a footballer, he has been criticised, however, for his arrogance, aggression and rebellious character at times.Ibrahimović has frequently been compared to Dutch legend Marco van Basten, due to their similar playing style and proclivity for scoring from powerful shots and volleys; despite this comparison, Ibrahimović has stated that his main influence was his idol, former Brazilian forward Ronaldo, whom he regards as the greatest player of all time.

He is the inspiration of all of the youth of Sweden.He became the symbol of sweden.So many obstacles he faced but he never back down for a single moment.Im inspired by his irony his thinking about the way of life and obviously the style of his football playing.
