Has anyone read Zlatan Ibrahimovic's autobigraphy?
I've just finished it and I have to say its one of the best footballers books I've read in a long while. He does come across as a bit of a tool at times and his ego is as big as a house but it's refreshing to see a player write a warts an all book, not giving a fuck who he upsets.
He is scathing of Guardiola and his take on the world of football transfers and how things play out behind the scenes is very interesting.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have much good to say about Rafa and if their spat played out like he says Rafa doesn't come out in a great light. However, we only get one side of the story and its VDV so I know whose side I'm on!
He also didn't get on too well with Van Gaal and referred to him as "humourless" and "a pompous arse", which made me laugh but I get the impression that Van Gaal is the type to have personality clashes with players and not tolerate big ego's.
One manager he did praise big time was Capello and tbh its made me think he could be a viable option for us, even if he is getting on a bit. He said he is a winner and puts the fear of god in you but knows how to fire players up.
Anyway, if you like sports autobiograhies, its well worth checking out.
