Pattrick · Oct 26, 2004

A few quotes of a brilliant football player:

About the final rounds of Eredivisie, with Ajax in a comfortable lead. (April 2004)
Reporter: "Do you think it's even possible for Ajax to lose nine points in nine games?"
Zlatan: "According to my calculations it is possible to lose nine points in only three games."

At the press conference after the game against England. (2004)
Reporter: "You´ve got some scars in your face, Zlatan. What has happened?"
Zlatan: "Well...I don´t know...you´ll have to ask your wife about that"

"Is your playing style Swedish or Yugoslavian? (TV3 Denmark, 2003). "It's Zlatan-style."

On Ajaxchat:
Q: "do you have a pet?"
A: "Yes Joey Didulicia!"

On Ajaxchat:
Q: "what did you learn from Mido?"
A: "Arabian music!"

Zlatan about the rumour that he bought a super-Porsche. (Aftonbladet, Nov 28, 2002)
- Absolutely not. I have ordered a plane. It is much faster.

What would you name your son? (Chat on Ajax.nl, Aug 26, 2002)
- Zlatan jr.

In the pause before extra time in the game against Senegal in the World Cup, Magnus Hedman pulled down his pants to get a pain-relieving shot. Zlatan said: (July, 2002)
- What is this? Remember I'm only 20 years old.

Zlatan about how time stopped as he stood waiting on the side line to come in against Argentina in the World Cup. (Aftonbladet, July, 2002)
- You could have punched me in the face, I wouldn't have noticed.

How many one night stands have you had in total? (VR, June, 2002)
- I don't do that stuff. For me it is romance and love...right?

About if his new haircut in the World Cup was inspired by Magnus Hedman. (Aftonbladet, May 2002):
"No, I just went in and cut my hair and this is what I looked like when I came out."

About where he comes up with his moves. (Expressen, May 2002):
"They just come, I promise. It is nothing that I plan."

Answer to critizism from John Carew that Zlatan's moves are pointless. (VG, April 2002):
"What Carew does with a football, I can do with an orange." (meaning that Carew doesn't come close to having the same technical skills as Zlatan)

"Is there anything in the world that could stop you from becoming no 1 in the world?" (2001):
"An injury."

About being able to walk in to a car outlet and be able to buy any car you want (from "Blådårar 2") (2002):
"You'll have to get used to it."

On his move on Stephane Henchoz of Liverpool (there has been some doubts whether his move was on Henchoz or Hyypiä):
"First I went left, he did too. Then I went right, and he did too. Then I went left again, and he went to buy a hot dog."

On the question what his girlfriend got when they got engaged:
"What she got? She got Zlatan."

"Which is the club of your dreams?" (2001):
"Real Madrid, Barcelona, and I have always liked Inter."

On humbleness:
"I am like (Muhammad) Ali. When he said he would knock someone out in the fourth round, he did it."

On the question whether he would dribble defender Chivu, one of his teammates:
"I would dribble him. But he is still the best I have met."

About growing up after five months with Ajax:
"You can't be a clown all the time."

About Hasse Borg of Malmö FF:
"Hasse keeps telling me I wouldn't have made it if I hadn't met him. But he always brags. I would have made tunnels on him all the time." (laugh)

To Malmö FF coach Michael Andersson during practice:
"Do you think that you are my mother?"

Answer to the question "If I say Anders Svensson and Kim Källström, what do you say?":
"Zlatan."

Answer to the question "What are you NOT going to say when you meet your teammates in Ajax for the first time?":
"I am Zlatan, who the hell are you?"

On Malmö FF's return to the first division (2002):
"I will strike like lightning in Allsvenskan."
