🗣️🇸🇪 Zlatan Ibrahimović on the difference between La Liga, the Premier League, and Serie A: “In La Liga, they try to play the game. They try to build from the back, even if the level of the teams isn’t the highest. “In the Premier league, they go at full speed in both attack and defence. That’s why even if you’re technically gifted, if you can’t handle that pace you won’t manage it well no matter how skilled you are.” The Italian game is very tactical, very studied. It’s more important to defend than to attack. For a forward it’s very difficult because you’re facing teams that focus so much on defending — and if you manage to succeed there, it’s a great feeling.”

🇸🇪🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović: "At Inter Milan we had a rule: if we lost two games in a row, salaries were delayed. But Balotelli broke that rule. We lost a cup final and a league match in three days. Mario didn’t show up to training and Mourinho couldn’t find him. After 30 minutes, the president walked in furious with Balotelli by his side. He asked us: “Does Mario know how to read Italian?” We answered: “Yes.” And he said: “Funny, because he came to my office to ask me for his salary.” We explained the rule, but Mario replied: “Even if we lose 100 times, I want my money now.” Then the president said: “From today on you will always get paid on time, but I don’t want anyone to behave like Mario.” It was the first time we got paid after two defeats… and we started passing him the ball more so he would score, because he was better than the president himself."
