Summary of the Book

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is better known to football fans around the world as Ibra. This book narrates the story of the man since his childhood – how he got on to the incorrect tracks in Malmö, Sweden, and what kind of odds he had to fight against. Ibra talks about his time on the Malmö FF youth squad, and how the fathers of other kids from a nicer part of town tried hard to get him kicked off the team. The readers will get to know the complete story about Zlatan's struggles in Ajax, the auction to Juventus, his accomplishments in Italy and the disgrace which almost destroyed his career. He also talks about Mourinho, and about his most significant goals. He lets us take a sneak-peek into his personal life by talking about Helena, the kids, and his life off the field. And perhaps for the first time, apart from what media and the press told us, we get to know the full truth about what truly happened between him and Pep Guardiola in Barcelona. I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic is an inspiring and thrilling look into his life, beyond the sights of top division football.
