sorry meant in Europe. But even if it wasnt doesnt negate the rest of my post
Zlatan Ibrahimović: "I wasn't expecting very much of Ligue 1 when I signed for PSG..."
- Thread starter CS@SG
- Start date
At no point since he became famous his brand started declining.
and you didn't get much, mate
zlatan? I would say he ended up getting a lot from PSG and vice versa
He has remained a huge star in the game
but Ligue 1 is a one-team piece of nonsense
Not mainly imo as now he is not playing he keeps finding several ways to keep his brand, he didn't need PSG for that
For the last 4 seasons there has only been one team in it. And Zlatan has been the main star. Its done him no harm at all
PSG was one of those ways.
Sorry buddy as good as it was he didnt just do it out of the kindness of his heart. It was a very smart move and the club at that moment PSG was perfect. It worked great for PSG too, as they were becoming far more world popular and Becks helped that. There are now PSG tops in every sports shop. 5 years ago there wasnt
Of course he didn't do it just for the charity, but main motivation must have been football as far as I am concerned. And you need to have the courage and fitness to compete with some really good footballers when you are already nearly 38. After all if he couldn't have cut it then the brand might take a negative hit.
The main reason he was making a bit less headlines in Europe and UK especially was simply because he lived in the US. Once he was back in Europe of course the headlines shifted from US to Europe as well.
As for charities well lot's of ppl and institutions don't do it just out of the kindness of their heart including football club foundations / charities, still ppl benefit because they do it regardless of the motives.
I don't understand the crap he gets for playing bad in the euros. He was surrounded by farmers and its pretty difficult when your swarmed by the entire opposition team because they know someone else can't do anything.
He scored a goal that should've been counted and forced a goal against Ireland. That's more than some of the big stars have done.

Don't mind me quoting you.
That is quite impressive I guess with thd new signing that list of titles increases mainly due to zlatan and Henrikh Mkhitaryan winning titles but why don't you count domestic cups to as the fa cup as it is a major trophy
That's just great!
Yes no doubt...though it's usually harder to keep up the fanboy treatment for a striker performing badly, as it means goals don't get scored.I don't doubt it for a minute.You'll get more annoyed when he'll get the Mata/Blind/Schweinsteiger treatment from the fanboys.
I'll change my name if he scores more than 15 league goals.
It's a lot easier to blame anyone other than Blind for us conceding a goal than it is/was to blame anyone other than Falcao for the fact he never scored any, for example.
He might work out and since we got him for free it's hard to argue against the logic of signing him...I'm excited to see him in a United shirt...but at the same time I have my suspicions about exactly what he'll offer at his age, and how happy he'll be to sit on the bench if he's not producing the goods. My money money would probably be on him and Jose not being best pals by the time this is over.
Those who are defending him should wait until he says something nasty about United when he leaves next summer.
He won't leave next summer, we have an option to renew a further year.
