Zlatan Zlataning like a Zlatan

How in the Zlatan does Zlatan not have a thread?
 
Cross posting from a WC thread

Zlatan likes this house. Zlatan will buy this house.

"We're here because you're living in our house," I said, and the man started laughing, as if to say, How funny, and sure, I had a gleam in my eye. It was a sort of joke, a line from a movie.

We went mad renovating the place. We didn't cut any corners. We couldn't make the garden wall higher. The council said no. What could we do? We wanted a higher wall so no fans or stalkers could stand out there and look in on us. So we dug ourselves deeper instead. We lowered the level of the plot.

Zlatan disses van Gaal, to his face
 

 
 
"Van Basten says Number Nine should save his strength for attacking and scoring goals, and, to tell the truth, now I don't know who I should listen to, van Basten—who's a legend—or van Gaal?" I said, putting special emphasis on the name van Gaal, as if he were some completely insignificant figure.

The world needs more ZLATAN.

Maybe the best part of that house story is that Zlatan shops at Ikea.

Hard to beat the idea of lowering the house further into the ground because the city wouldn't let them raise the walls around the property.

Even Bill Brasky is impressed by ZLATAN.

Ikea is the Wal-Mart of Sweden.

Who wants to hang out with Zlatan?

Zlatan's house is for sale:
 

 
Brady says "eh, no moat, no deal".

 

[ifmanis5]

That house was not big enough for ZLATAN.

Should have left it pink.  Maybe you get Jon Melgenkasj interested.

Zlatan can probably afford a bigger playhouse/slide combo.

My favorite thing about ZLATAN is how much ZLATAN hates, hates, hates Pep Guardiola. 

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Does Zlatan know Zolton?
 
Can Zlatan play tight end?
 
 
 
Also, Zlatan is a black belt in Taekwondo which explains the insane kicks that either score goals or get him a red:

How did I miss a thread about ZLATAN?

Sweden's national football team for the intellectually disabled — also known as "The Unknown Team" — needed 350,000 kronor ($51,000) to travel to the INAS World Cup in Brazil this month. In a desperate bid to raise this considerable sum of money so that the team could travel to the tournament for which they rightfully qualified, staff members reached out to several prominent Swedish footballers for help. They got the likes of Johan Elmander, Kim Kallstron, Andreas Isaksson and Per Nilsson to donate autographed shirts and boots to be auction off towards the cause. Then they asked Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
According to Aftonbladet, Ibrahimovic's response was, "What the hell are you going to do with a shirt? How much is it to go?" And when told the full amount they needed to raise, the national team captain, who was devastated by failing to lead his side to the FIFA World Cup earlier this summer, then asked for their bank account number and deposited all of it.

ZLATAN interview with Julien Laurens. I just started reading it so I'm not sharing any tidbits. I'm sure it's worth a read.

A goal, a missed penalty and this horrendous miss. A day in the life of Zlatan in PSG's first game of the season last weekend.
