Soy Zlatan Ibrahimovic

I AM ZLATAN - the explosive, critically-acclaimed memoir of Zlatan Ibrahimovich, one of the world's most gifted and controversial footballers 'Guardiola has no balls. He drove me like a Fiat . . . I'm a Ferrari' Zlatan Ibrahimovic - professional football's most mercurial player, Swedish national hero, tabloid fixture, fashion icon, modern-day philosopher and black belt in Taekwondo. Born to a Muslim father from Bosnia, and a Catholic mother from Croatia, Zlatan recounts his extraordinary life story, from his poverty-stricken upbringing as an outsider in Malmö, Sweden, to becoming one of the world's most sought-after and expensive players, gracing Europe's finest clubs, from Ajax to Juventus, Internazionale to Barcelona, Milan to Paris Saint-Germain. I AM ZLATAN reveals a rare and ferocious intelligence, willpower and God-given talent most recently exhibited when Zlatan scored all 4 goals for Sweden in a 4-2 victory against England. His fourth goal, a 30-yard overhead kick with his back to goal is widely regarded as one of the greatest goals of all time. The BBC described it as a goal that 'combined unfathomable imagination and expert technique'. For fans of The Secret Footballer and Football Manager Stole My Life this no holds barred football memoir is every bit as dramatic and revealing as Roy Keane's classic autobiography. 'The best footballer's autobiography of recent years is probably I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic . . .' Simon Kuper, author of Why England Always Lose 'Eagerly awaited, not least because Ibra seems to be spoiling for a fight on every other page. 'Dynamite' said one Swedish reporter' Daily Mail on I AM ZLATAN

”Varför kom hon inte? Tyckte hon inte om mig längre? Det gick en minut, två, tre, tio minuter, och till slut pallade jag inte längre. Det var värsta förnedringen. Hon har säkert blåst mig, tänkte jag. Vem skulle vilja ha en date med mig? Och så drog jag därifrån. Jag skiter väl i henne, typ. Jag ska ändå bli fotbollstjärna. Men alltså, det var dummaste grejen. Tjejens buss hade bara varit lite försenad. Det var chaffisen som velat ta en cigg eller nåt, och hon kom dit precis efteråt och blev lika ledsen som jag. ” I Jag är Zlatan Ibrahimović ger han en helt ny och skakande bild av uppväxten i Rosengård. Med sina egna ord berättar han om papporna från den fina sidan av stan som försöker få honom utslängd från Malmö FF. Han berättar om kampen och striderna i Ajax, om köpet till Juventus, succén i Italien och spelskandalen som höll på att förstöra hans karriär. Han berättar om Inter och segrarna, om Mourinho, målen och de stora stjärnorna. Han berättar om Helena, barnen och om livet bakom strålkastarljuset. För första gången avslöjar han precis vad som hände med Pep Guardiola i Barcelona. I Zlatans egen självbiografi får vi det rafflande spelet bakom klubbytena. Vi får en insyn i den absoluta toppfotbollen vi aldrig fått förut. För första gången får vi hela sanningen om Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Zlatans egen berättelse

Jag är Zlatan

Zlatan Ibrahimovic er en av verdens beste og mest myteomspunne fotballspillere. Han har vunnet åtte ligagull på rad med storklubber som Ajax, Inter, Juventus, Barcelona og Milan. Men han gir ytterst sjelden intervjuer. I samarbeid med den svenske journalisten og forfatteren David Lagercrantz har Zlatan skrevet en usedvanlig åpenhjertig og spennende selvbiografi - om barndommen i innvandrergettoen Rosengård utenfor Malmö hvor han vokste opp med fattige foreldre fra Bosnia og Kroatia, om vennskap og fiendskap, om storlagene han har spilt på, om stjernestatus og familieliv, og om pengegalskapen i internasjonal fotball. Dette er ikke en bok man trenger å være opptatt av fotball for å bli bergtatt av. Skrevet med en prosa som sparker og sprudler og smeller, er dette en bok som henvender seg til alle som er interessert i å lese en moderne Askepott-historie om fattiggutten fra Malmö som ble en av verdens rikeste om mest myteomspunne superstjerner.

Meine Geschichte

Ich bin Zlatan

Den svenske fodboldsspiller Zlatan Ibrahimovic (f. 1981) beretter om sit liv fra opvæksten i indvandrerghettoen Rosengård uden for Malmø, den første tid som fodboldspiller, kampen for at nå toppen af international fodbold og om livet uden for rampelyset

Eu sunt Zlatan

Daring, flashy, innovative, volatile—no matter what they call him, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of soccer’s brightest stars. A top-scoring striker and captain of the Swedish national team, he has dominated the world’s most storied teams, including Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain. But his life wasn’t always so charmed. Born to Balkan immigrants who divorced when he was a toddler, Zlatan learned self-reliance from his rough-and-tumble neighborhood. While his father, a Bosnian Muslim, drank to forget the war back home, his mother’s household was engulfed in chaos. Soccer was Zlatan’s release. Mixing in street moves and trick plays, Zlatan was a wild talent who rode to practice on stolen bikes and relished showing up the rich kids—opponents and teammates alike. Goal by astonishing goal, the brash young outsider grew into an unlikely prodigy and, by his early twenties, an international phenomenon. Told as only the man himself could tell it, featuring stories of friendships and feuds with the biggest names in the sport, I Am Zlatan is a wrenching, uproarious, and ultimately redemptive tale for underdogs everywhere. Praise for I Am Zlatan “Terrific . . . Far more insightful than your typical jock memoir, Ibra’s book tells his story of growing up as the son of immigrants in Sweden and pulls no punches when it comes to his opinions of some of the biggest names in the game.”—Sports Illustrated “The most compelling autobiography ever to appear under a footballer’s name.”—The Guardian “The story of Zlatan—from his days as an immigrant kid juggling a soccer ball so he won’t get bullied to his emergence as the genius player who scored the greatest goal ever—is as compelling and fancy-footed as his game.”—Aleksandar Hemon, National Book Award finalist and author of The Lazarus Project “I love this book. I love it because it’s so much bigger than soccer. I Am Zlatan is a story of hope and grit and what an immigrant kid who comes from nothing can accomplish with hard work and belief in himself. It’s also a beautiful window into our new, more open, more diverse world.”—Marcus Samuelsson, bestselling author of Yes, Chef “Probably the bestselling European immigrant’s tale since Zadie Smith’s White Teeth . . . Once you get past the obligatory snigger prompted by the phrase ‘footballer’s autobiography,’ you can see that Zlatan’s book strangely resembles an earlier immigrant’s tale: Portnoy’s Complaint.”—Financial Times “He is skillful. He is outspoken. He is Zlatan.”—The New York Times “The best sports autobiography in years.”—PolicyMic
