«Quando sono in campo, sentire di essere amato mi dà una carica impressionante. Ma anche l’odio mi trasmette tanto. Quando mi fanno incazzare, vado a un livello superiore: sono più attento, più concentrato, più forte, più desideroso di dimostrare qualcosa. Se mi odiano, mi migliorano. Per questo, partite come i derby mi caricano a mille e mi riempiono di una rabbia speciale che mi porta più in alto. Ma oggi ho molto più controllo di un tempo, quand’ero giovane.»

As the captain of Manchester Athletic, I know exactly what persona the media and fans need to see. Everything else is behind tightly closed bedroom doors. I didn't have a pretty childhood.

Zlatan Ibrahimović è stato molte cose. Un predestinato, un talento unico ma impossibile da inserire in squadra, un alieno, un estraneo. Il giocatore che vinceva campionati e coppe nazionali ovunque andasse ma che non arrivava mai in finale di Champions League e non convinceva tutti. Dopo il grande rifiuto di Pep Guardiola, che lo ha espulso dal sistema del Barcellona in cui Ibrahimović aveva tentato di integrarsi, ha avuto inizio la seconda parte della sua carriera. Quando ha smesso di provare a piacere a ogni costo per essere sé stesso fino in fondo.

Cosa vuol dire che una partita di calcio è entrata nella storia? Quali tracce permanenti lascia davvero nella memoria qualcosa di così transitorio come un evento sportivo? Il risultato? Un coro da stadio senza parole? Lo sguardo febbrile di un terzino poco conosciuto che fissa il portiere avversario prima di tirare il rigore più importante del mondo?
