"I conquered England – it took three months."

Whats struck me about Zlatan is that he is probably one of the least selfish superstars in the world.
*** confidence
Scenes if he scores a hat-trick on Sunday.
And one of the most humble when you get past his public character.
Love this bit. He's almost saying "Impressive, bet you can't keep it going though."
Statue worthy
A true leader. It's strange that a lot of people had/has the idea of that he is egotistical when it's not even close to describing him. A real professional.
Love it.
He's exactly what the dressing room needed. Unshakeable self belief.

He was being cheeky before City, lets hope he is more than talk on Sunday
He scored a cracking goal?
One of the best players in the world, and at his age. He's incredible.
Agree 100%.
And missed 2/3 sitters and we lost. 1 more or less an open goal
Love him, even though he will only have played for us for 2 years maybe 3 I can see him going down as a great, he's a leader and true world class player, I love how he has this arrogant personality that he uses to deal with the media and they love it too but as someone mentioned he truely is unselfish and cares more about the grand scheme of things, love it, what a guy
He hasn't though, has he.
He's banged a few goals here and there and silenced a few critics, including myself, but 'conquering' England is winning the league.

To be honest he is a bit(you kind of have to be to be a top footballer, it seems), but more than that he really plays up to his egomaniac rep for the laugh. That said, you can be a real professional and have a massive ego, like Ronaldo.
Behind the character though, he seems like a genuinely top bloke who everybody loves.
If only you could bottle that confidence...
What? He missed 2/3 sitters versus City?
Sitters is a little harsh but he certainly squandered a few great chances.
Indeed, Cantona MkII. Shows how the dressing room has been utterly bereft of leadership since Rio, Vidic et al departed.
Woo-hoo ! Ya-Boy- Ya!!
One was absolute sitter.
I remember him fecking up a chance when he didn't realise a City player had gotten back to the goal-line. Don't recall any other great chances, maybe I'm forgetting?
In fairness, his chance was so tough that you gotta kinda forgive him that miss, they cancelled each other out as such.
Conquer Liverpool now Zlatan
Been a while since he's played. Hopefully he's fresh. Looked a bit legged vs West Ham.

More or less an open goal and a point blank header from 2/3 yards just before half time.
I'm hoping he puts Liverpool to bed on Sunday
I've just had a watch of his player cam as your comments confused me here, aside from the one off the line, he didn't have a single great chance in the game, just a few barely half chances.
I really don't know what he can do with that "point blank header", just had a rewatch. It'll have to be an unbelievable header to score from that angle.
"Whatever you want, wherever you will come, let’s see what we want. I know what we want. We want to show it."
Not arrogant. Just better. Zlatan.

Love the man, but can't help but feel his comments are a bit premature.
Really hoping he silences the Scousers on Sunday.

Premature? About conquering England?
He's on a total piss take of course, as always, watch the interview.
Hes obviously joking but I admire the confidence.
What is it about those over confident cocky angry players that always become stars? Costa, Suarez, Zlatan.

I think it's essential to some, an unwavering self belief must be so important as a striker, every tough patch looked at through a magnifying glass, even at 35 and being as successful as Zlatan, despite his great start in England he was still questioned (even by TONNES of his own fans) after going a few games without a goal.
Unwavering self-belief must be sooooo important for these players.
Ah, that's where I went wrong
Just saw a bunch of hyped up Scousers on Facebook going batshit crazy with comments like "conquering England but still in 6th"
Big ego for sure, great impact in every league he played, just indifferent at international level.
Ibra never takes himself too seriously you should all read "I Am Zlatan" even if you have a passing interest in football its absolutely brilliant and very entertaining. Only shame is it stops at AC Milan.
After reading it and watching him this season hes gone from a player I never wanted at the club to instant legendary status for me. Im so so annoyed we didnt get him earlier in his career when he was on the same playing field as Messi. But ill certainly enjoy him here whilst we can.

He played for Sweden what was he supposed to do? Its like slapping Messi into the Scotland squad.
Well he played for very big clubs and never made an impact in the CL, did he?
Yeah alright @Bepi. 62 goals in 116 games for Sweden. Record scorer.
Loads of goals against big national teams, dragged his country to a couple of tournaments... "indifferent"
