Who Is Zlatan Ibrahimovic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zlatan Ibrahimovi\u0107 was born on October 3, 1981, in Malmo, Sweden. His father, Sefik, was of Bosnian origin, and his mother, Jurka, was from Croatia. At some point during his childhood, his parents separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibrahimovi\u0107\u2019s early life was chaotic, and he would often spend time moving back and forth between his mother\u2019s and father\u2019s homes. Neither parent was fiscally stable, which would cause tension between Zlatan and his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That lack of financial security would play a pivotal role in how Ibrahimovi\u0107 would play soccer. His classmates would often judge him because his clothes weren\u2019t as nice. Author David Lagercrantz, who co-wrote I Am Zlatan<\/em>, quoted him as saying, \u201c\u2018David, I need to be angry to play well\u2019. When he played with middle-class kids he felt inferior because he wore the wrong clothes and had no money, so he said to himself \u2018One day I’ll show them!\u2019 That became his motivation.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zlatan Ibrahimovic\u2019s Early Athletic Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
