Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Daring, flashy, innovative, volatileno matter what they call him, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of soccers brightest stars. A top-scoring striker and captain of the Swedish national team, he has dominated the worlds most storied teams, including Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain. But his life wasnt always so charmed. Born to Balkan immigrants who divorced when he was a toddler, Zlatan learned self-reliance from his rough-and-tumble neighborhood. While his father, a Bosnian Muslim, drank to forget the war back home, his mothers household was engulfed in chaos. Soccer was Zlatans release. Mixing in street moves and trick plays, Zlatan was a wild talent who rode to practice on stolen bikes and relished showing up the rich kidsopponents and teammates alike. Goal by astonishing goal, the brash young outsider grew into an unlikely prodigy and, by his early twenties, an international phenomenon. Told as only the man himself could tell it, featuring stories of friendships and feuds with the biggest names in the sport, I Am Zlatan is a wrenching, uproarious, and ultimately redemptive tale for underdogs everywhere.Praise for I Am ZlatanTerrific . . .
