#3 Because “I am the boss”
There aren’t many players in the world of football who have a loud mouth while also backing their outspoken nature with performances on the pitch. In a world where Nicklas Bendtner thought he could be the best in the world and Mario Balotelli was of the opinion that only Lionel Messi is better than him, Ibrahimovic is like a breath of fresh air among the smell of rotten dry fishes.
He asks his team-mates to keep quiet because he is “the boss.” He claims that a World Cup without his not worth watching; that he come to United to become the “God of Manchester”; that he can’t “help but laugh at how perfect I am.”
Basically, he says things that both his Argentine and Portuguese rival can’t even think of. And the best part? He walks the talk.
