Top 5 infamous football training ground bust-ups

#2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic vs Oguchi Onyewu

In his own words 'Oguchi resembled a boxer with his built physique'

There is no list of ours that Zlatan does not make it to, and this is perhaps the most iconic fights of the century.

With a black-belt in Taekwondo, neither his acrobatic goals nor his kicks directed at his teammates come as a surprise. The explosive character even threatened to break Rafael van der Vaart's legs at Ajax.

In his autobiography, Ibrahimovic revealed the training ground punch-up with his then AC Milan muscular teammate Oguchi Onyewu. In his own words 'Oguchi resembled a boxer with his built physique'. The Sweden ace claimed that the pair wanted to destroy each other, saying,

"I'm not talking about a small row. It was like life and death."

Fortunately however, it was 'life' for both of them when they were separated, although it was later discovered that Ibrahimovic actually suffered a broken rib in the scuffle.

Documenting it in his book, the former Manchester United striker wrote,

“I head-butted him, and we flew at each other. We wanted to tear each other limb from limb. It was brutal. We were rolling around, punching and kneeing each other. We were crazy and furious — it was like life and death. I was stopped by my team-mates, and I suppose that was a good thing. It could have turned out nasty. All the time, I was thinking: ‘S***, my chest hurts,’ so we had it checked out. I’d broken a rib in the fight.”

‘It was not the first time I’d had a dispute with a team-mate."
