I just don’t understand one thing.
This pos, talks shit to everybody, disrespects every team, every defender, yet no one doesn’t fucking stand up to him, and fuck him up.
His cockiness and arrogance is not really funny anymore. He takes it overboard. I wish some guys from CN would fuck him up in the street or something.
And before you say Zlatan knows karate, take a chill pill.

What should be done to "stand up to him"? We beat Milan yesterday. His career lacks champions League and or even a champions League final, despite playing for several great teams. We won the champipns league when he left, beating the club he went to.

He's been dealt with on the pitch. I would argue that he's been beaten in every imaginable way.

A great player with a great career, but he creates a comical effect by projecting a certain image of himself, as if he had won champions and ballon d'or several times, like Messi and Ronaldo.

Last but not least, there were spats in the past between him and Materazzi, so someone stood up to him even on a personal, almost physical way.

Who cares? Guy is a legend but he's pretty irrelevant nowadays. Credit to him for scoring and still being dangerous but I dont think our fans need to do anything as we're aiming for much bigger things now.

It was nothing.

Julio Cesar was like shoot the ball directly at me and then did that tongue thing. Zlatan was like I'm just gonna score.

It was a friendly-ish conversation during a big rival moment.

It came about because it was never a fucking penalty to begin with. It was a world class double save by JC against first Boateng and then Ibrahimovic, but that clown Rizzoli gave a penalty to Milan.

Julio Cesar supposedly told Ibra “if you’re a man, you’ll miss deliberately.” And then Ibra scored and made some retort back to him, while (again) goading our curva.

Yeah I read online somewhere a while ago Zlatan said "no, i'll score instead" or some shit.

Cesar made a save on Boateng but the referee gave Milan the penalty even though Cesar clearly got the ball. I remember that derby clear as day, because that was also an emphatic 4-2 win after Zlatan made a gesture to the fans. So satisfying seeing him on the losing end, yet again :slick:

ahah you're right, he would deserve it. but he's not worth the trouble. like i said, he's been dealt with on the pitch, abundantly.
I know that.
But like someone else mentioned it, this guy hasn’t won jack shit, at least not something that would justify his arrogant mouth and behavior, yet he talks like he’s the best thing ever happened to European or world soccer.
The more he talks the more annoying he gets, and I just hope
one day some mean ass motherucker defender gonna put him in his place.

Pretty world class performance yesterday, MOTM IMO in terms of individual performance.

Caused all sorts of trouble for the best defence in the league singlehandedly.

Hes missing the CL but I think he has won the league in almost every season he has played.

I do agree that he needed a smack, especially after that suck-ass interview yesterday.

Yeah, sure.
By putting his hand in defenders head and face, and holding them down while generating lift for his jump. Yeah, pretty world class. Even the guy who’s scored the first goal was surprised the reff let that stand.
You call yourself an Inter fan, seriously? After such and epic game, and incredible comeback, instead of praising our own team and our own players, your butthurt hateful ass, first thing you say after that game, is suck Ibras cock on how “world class” he played. Go cheer for Milan then, at least until your nemesis Marotta is here. Once he leaves maybe it’ll be easier for your to digest Inters success.

The only extraordinary thing that remain is his dirty elbow that he used on skriniar and godin. Otherwise, his a pure liability to his teammates. They gotta run more to cover the space he couldn't, chase the ball that he wouldn't.

There is no denying his confidence has raised Milan a level up...maybe that his biggest contribution to them at this stage of his career.

He deserved it after being a dick under the Curva (although there are plenty of idiots there).

It's funny how he said Inter are not a title winning side after conceding 4 against them in 45 minutes. :lol:

Zlatan likes to play in teams where he can be in the center of attention. He fits perfectly in Milan now.

Something changed in Zlatan when he left Inter. At Inter, he was a top player and as a team we were overly reliant on him. But he was still a good character, and his arrogance wasn't over the top. Then Barca came calling, and he felt it was a big move.

However he realized he had to play second fiddle to Messi. And that season Inter won it all. That hit him really hard. Suddenly he was unwanted at Barcelona and had to make that move to Milan. And we all remember his stare at Ronaldo earlier in a Milan derby.

All those events led to this bitterness in Zlatan which he tried hard over time to cover up with his arrogance. His Milan tenure was fine, and so was PSG, but the next level success (CL) never came. He moved to Manu as well at least to get some recognition by EPL fans over all, but it all came too late. Zlatan needs psychic help to get over this bitterness. He is still a good player, but is becoming more of a caricature.

You are reading too much into it, to be honest.

Zlatan's egotistical persona is part of a brand at this point and is all but genuine. He doesn't call out people on social media, doesn't give any sarcastic remarks towards anyone, he doesn't provoke. Football-wise he was always a nomad, privately he is a family man and seems to attribute little meaning to such petty things. Look at him since day 1 at Milan this season, as soon as he arrived to Italy he was completely humble in his interviews and especially when asked about Inter. MLS tenure was meant to be a spectacle since day 1 and the infamous newspaper page. It's just Hollywood, he tried to fit in, and he knew he could afford to have a bit of fun because the quality of the league is a joke.
Look up his recent interviews, he fully acknowledges the fact that his body can't do the same things from a decade ago.

Saying that he wasn't a top player anymore after Inter is also a joke. He scored twice as many goals for PSG, and while it's easy to ridicule french football, I will also point to a usually ignored elephant in the room - post-Calciopoli Serie A was also fairly lackluster in quality during our domination.

Does he regret leaving Inter? He often stated that he doesn't, and I believe him. I think he regrets Barcelona and probably the way he conducted himself over there, but his story with Inter was done for and over. Ibra is not only a nomad, but I would even go as far to say that he is the modern world-class striker who marked the beginning of that new era of football, where the romanticized aspect of belonging to something no longer existed.

Does lack of CL trophy bother him? Probably but I doubt it keeps him from sleeping at night.
