1
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,480
What nasty fog...
2
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,120
Do we have to stand?
3
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,040
Relax...
4
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,560
You're way too stressed.
5
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,000
Honestly...
6
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,920
Take it easy? I do...
7
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,920
I mean at work and everything.
8
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,360
Relax, enjoy it.
9
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,000
- How many players are there?
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...
10
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,760
...20, 21, 22, 23, 24.
11
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,680
- Transfers for 50 million.
- I'm worth more than all 24.
12
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,640
Hello, nice to meet you.
13
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,120
Hello, welcome to Ajax.
14
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,280
Yeah, it's incredible.
15
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,600
Nervous? No, I'm a pro now.
I'm past that.
16
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,520
Two things:
We never talk about money,
17
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,520
and if they ask about No. 9,
that's the problem of the coach.
18
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,040
We go upstairs...
19
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,160
Zlatan, the Ajax shirt.
20
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,720
With the No. 9 behind.
21
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:39,800
Good luck.
22
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,880
I think Ajax is the perfect club for me.
23
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,280
They play my kind of football.
24
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,040
- What's your style of playing?
- Technical.
25
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,040
- But you are very big?
- Yes, but I have very technical feet.
26
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,880
People will be expecting a lot from him.
27
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,240
But he loves the game so much
28
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,880
that he goes out
on the pitch to have fun.
29
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:21,720
It's so Zlatan that if you look in the trunk
of his car, there's a football.
30
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:27,680
He'll say: "I kick it around
whenever I'm feeling down."
31
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,080
You didn't make a picture of him?
32
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,400
When we had more or less a deal,
33
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,640
I had to call
the General Director of Ajax...
34
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,240
...and I told him
the result of the negotiations.
35
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,240
And he asked me about ten times later:
"Leo, Are you sure?"
36
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,560
I said: "Yes, I'm sure."
37
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,960
"Leo please, it's a lot of money for Ajax."
38
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,200
It was, at that time,
a record in the history of Ajax.
39
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,840
I said: "Yes, I'm sure."
40
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,600
I would have another one...
41
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,080
What do you want?
42
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,920
I knew, of course, that he
was a bit of a conflicted guy.
43
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Not easy to manage.
44
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,400
I said to Zlatan:
45
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,280
"If you fuck me, I fuck you."
46
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,360
"Then you can forget your career,
I can tell you that."
47
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,920
- It's big, right?
- It's terrific.
48
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,680
It's very Dutch.
49
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,640
And then eat it...
50
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Do you like it?
51
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,400
The Dutch are very laid-back.
52
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,760
If you're famous here,
usually they leave you alone.
53
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,880
They let you do your own thing.
54
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,040
But when a star acts arrogant...
55
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,520
Then straight away,
they throw him to the side.
56
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,840
They like a person to act normal.
57
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,160
- We've been waiting for Zlatan.
- Yeah, for a long time.
58
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,320
Yeah. And the trainer also.
59
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,480
We have a new goal-getter, we hope.
60
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,840
- Next year, champion.
- You have to be.
61
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,920
It's an honor to play here.
To eat here also.
62
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,600
He's young, strong and cocky:
63
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,960
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, or just Zlatan,
as the new forward likes to be called.
64
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,960
The 1.92 m tall striker is exactly what
Co Adriaanse wanted for his squad.
65
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,200
Hey, Mido.
66
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,480
Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
67
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,560
After!
68
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,920
For the players it's an obligation,
but fans want it on their bedroom walls:
69
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,720
The Ajax team photograph.
70
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,560
Today, photographers were on their
knees to capture the best shots.
71
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,680
- Are you vain?
- No, absolutely not.
72
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,720
- You don't care how you look?
- Of course I do.
73
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,120
My hair has to look good
in a photo like this.
74
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,080
- Is Zlatan photogenic?
- He doesn't seem that keen on this.
75
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,720
But it'll be fine.
76
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,640
I never in my whole career
bought a player
77
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:56,120
without looking him in his eyes.
78
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,760
I want to see not only
what I get for my club, but who.
79
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,640
But that was amazing for a 19-year-old,
looking me straight in the eyes...
80
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:11,600
Within a half an hour,
I was ready with him.
81
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,320
I don't know why. Don't ask me why
you fall in love with that girl...
82
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,160
And for me it's not the right girl,
or on the opposite way. Come on!
83
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,600
What is it? I cannot...
I have no words for it. I don't know.
84
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,840
Zlatan Ibrahimovic combines
power with technique.
85
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,800
In Sweden, despite being only 19,
he was much talked about.
86
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,400
Not only because
of his football qualities.
87
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,720
- What kind of player are you?
- Me?
88
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,640
I want to show it,
I don't want to talk about it.
89
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,440
When I've played, you can come back.
90
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,080
I know the very first match he played.
It was against an amateur team
91
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,200
somewhere in the north of Holland,
a small place, small club.
92
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,640
I was sitting behind
the goal of the opponents.
93
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,160
So I was very close.
94
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,920
I see him getting the ball on his foot.
95
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Makes these movements
with his big, strong body
96
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,200
and the eyes were like fire.
97
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,200
You could feel, you could smell
that there was a big ambition there.
98
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:48,240
The best way of expressing from
the club that they believed in this player
99
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,720
was giving him the shirt
with the number nine.
100
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,160
Number nine means
you are the starting player,
101
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,440
you are the focal point in the team,
you're our center forward.
102
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,680
Then he hits the ball so hard
with his left foot in the upper corner.
103
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,560
It's an amazing goal.
104
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,160
But not too many words
were spilled on that.
105
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,120
You can tell he is a special player.
He does amazing things.
106
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,080
He scored two fantastic goals.
107
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,080
But you can also tell that he's read
the book "Alone on Earth" too...
108
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,360
He definitely has to learn
that football isn't just playing solo,
109
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:40,800
"Oh solo mio",
it's also about playing together.
110
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,280
Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
shoe size 47.5!
111
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,560
It's amazing that such big feet
can make magic with the ball!
112
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,000
It's 45, actually...
113
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,240
Welcome, boys!
Welcome, Zlatan.
114
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,080
But especially welcome to you, Yksel.
115
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,400
We'd like to ask you
for some good advice, Yksel.
116
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:32,360
As you know, Malmö FF
likes to boost their youth players.
117
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:38,000
Zlatan is just as promising
as you were at his age.
118
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,040
But he's been a pain in ass this year.
119
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,720
He's skipped 350 hours of school.
A new record. Right, Zlatan?
120
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,680
And he doesn't listen to old guys.
So now that you're here,
121
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,640
maybe you could tell him
what you think?
122
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,280
Learning languages is important.
123
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,800
I assume that you want
to go pro in the future,
124
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,840
and then languages are important.
It makes everything easier.
125
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,840
- What do you think about that?
- Of course school is important.
126
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,400
My mind was only on my football.
That's why I didn't go.
127
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,000
But after Christmas, I'll make an effort.
128
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,960
That's good.
129
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,520
We were playing Bröndby,
130
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,280
and you got angry
with one of their players...
131
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:37,080
They were all after me.
I did a dirty tackle on one guy.
132
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,640
I should have gotten
a red card, but didn't.
133
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,800
Then everybody on their team
got aggressive and started chasing me.
134
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,920
But I was substituted,
so I got away with it.
135
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,760
Shit... I'll never forget.
136
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,160
No, that was not good at all.
137
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,240
Afterwards, Bröndby called me and said:
138
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,440
"We've played thousands of games,
but have never seen anything
139
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,080
like what happened at Malmö stadium."
140
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,320
Tony?
141
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,400
Don't forget to get that material for us.
142
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,040
- Is Zlatan here?
- No, he isn't.
143
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,520
He should be, though.
Maybe he's in school.
144
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,720
No, he never goes to school.
145
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,880
- When he was meant to be here?
- By a quarter to...
146
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,280
He'll get fined. That's 200 kronor.
147
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,280
Zlatan, my friend, what the hell?
148
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,960
You're late!
149
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,640
- Film this star.
- No, that's the star.
150
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,800
Did you see Del Piero's dribbling?
Made the others look stupid.
151
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,120
It was the best.
152
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,920
So you missed
the entire game yesterday?
153
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,080
- You're talking about Italian football?
- Yes.
154
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,720
- Is that the route you hope to take?
- Yes, of course.
155
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,880
No England, right Zlatan?
156
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,960
- How do you like English football?
- It's crap.
157
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720
It's crap, that's right!
158
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,200
Let's go, time for our meeting.
159
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,800
I always played football
when I was younger.
160
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,640
Then it just got to be my thing.
161
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,560
Dad said: "You should join a team."
162
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,840
So I joined the team
that my friends were on, Balkan.
163
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,880
Then Dad said:
"You should try out for Malmö FF."
164
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,000
After one practice,
they said: "Welcome aboard."
165
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,600
I got on the first team
just as they were relegated.
166
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,600
I was 17 years old.
167
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,840
They put me in,
I don't know what minute it was.
168
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,720
I had red gloves on.
169
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,560
I remember that we lost 3-0
and dropped down.
170
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,920
We all sat together in the locker room.
171
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:23,560
I was the one who was
the least disappointed or sad.
172
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Because I was new.
173
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,960
Then Bengt said...
174
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,240
"We're going to make it back!"
175
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,800
I felt that it was my chance
to show who I am...
176
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,680
And I remember thinking
"I'm going to make it happen".
177
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Put Zlatan in! Put Zlatan in!
178
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840
Come on, Zlatan!
179
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,800
Red card!
180
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,080
Red!
181
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,160
It was easy
to become friends with Zlatan.
182
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:17,000
And Andy, as well.
183
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,880
We always said to Andy:
"You're not Dutch."
184
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,480
Andy was the only guy
who was very close to us.
185
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,600
The Dutch boys they were
a little bit... together.
186
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,800
Wesley Sneijder, Van der Vaart...
187
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,560
We were always sitting together,
Zlatan, and Mido also.
188
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:40,240
They were always making jokes
with each other in the changing room.
189
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,160
"You cannot score goals."
"You're ugly"...
190
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,640
We were laughing a lot.
191
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,760
We were just young kids
who have money and are famous.
192
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,960
I remember when I first went,
I bought a Z8 BMW.
193
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,320
It was the car of James Bond.
194
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,200
And I bought it.
It was the only one in Amsterdam.
195
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,360
And then three months later,
I bought a Ferrari.
196
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:09,160
When Mido came with the Ferrari,
Zlatan had a Mitsubishi Galant.
197
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:13,320
It was quite a nice car,
but it's not a Ferrari.
198
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,000
The cars of Ajax
were Mitsubishi at that time.
199
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:31,280
He was in training, he was the best.
200
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,320
But when the game started,
something locked him.
201
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,200
Something blocked him in his head.
202
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,000
He was also talking to me
on the pitch when we were training...
203
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,400
"I don't know, tomorrow I have to play."
204
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,240
"It's hard for me because...
it don't come out."
205
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,880
"I'm not myself when I'm on the pitch."
206
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,000
And I just said to him: "Come on, play.
Play good. You're strong."
207
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,760
"You can do it, it's no problem."
208
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,000
"Don't think about the people,
think about yourself."
209
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,080
In Holland, they say:
the spectators in the Amsterdam Arena,
210
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,560
they don't come to support the team,
211
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,680
they come to control
if the players are playing well.
212
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:24,520
So they're sitting there, saying:
"Okay, this is our club... Show us!"
213
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:06,400
And after a few games
and he lost so many balls,
214
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,160
they were whistling.
215
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,560
You could see he wasn't used to it.
216
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,800
So surprised.
"Are they whistling at me?"
217
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,840
And later, we talked about it.
He was astonished.
218
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,240
He was also
a little bit mad at the people.
219
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,160
"They don't know how good I am."
220
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,760
He had some aggression in him.
221
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,920
"It's my ball, you don't touch it."
222
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,400
I was always happy
when I played with him in training,
223
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,640
and not against him,
224
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,120
because he was always...
Yeah, with his long legs,
225
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,280
he will go for it. And he won't stop.
226
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,120
If he wants to score goals
and it don't come out...
227
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,000
Then you go... a little bit crazy.
You do stupid things.
228
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,480
Trabelsi...
229
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,040
Ibrahimovic and Beukenkamp...
230
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,040
The ball is...
231
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,880
...out of play, so Schoenmakers
can be treated.
232
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,840
This is what happened:
He got an elbow from Ibrahimovic.
233
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,680
Hugo makes it clear to Ibrahimovic
that this is unacceptable.
234
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:50,760
This kind of behavior
doesn't belong on a football pitch.
235
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,120
The footage clearly showed
the way he misbehaved.
236
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,680
And he was fined for it.
237
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,080
He's let down himself, his coach,
the club and the supporters.
238
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,800
It doesn't belong on a football pitch,
especially not for an Ajax player.
239
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,320
- But was he sorry?
- Oh yes, immediately.
240
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,960
He will probably be suspended.
241
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,880
We got three points
but we can certainly do better!
242
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,640
There were a lot of openings,
but Zlatan didn't see us.
243
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,840
Where a simple pass would've
given us a scoring opportunity.
244
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,160
We need to understand his way...
245
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:05,320
But he also needs
to find his place within the team.
246
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,760
He isn't a star yet, but he thinks he is.
247
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,040
You play around and do tricks.
248
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,520
Don't you think
it might make them angry?
249
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,800
No, I'm just teasing them a little.
250
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,880
There is no sweeter victory
than winning by 1-0!
251
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,840
Isn't that right?
252
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,280
This is only the beginning.
253
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,840
Zlatan is probably the biggest talent
I have ever seen.
254
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,920
He's got everything.
255
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000
I've had calls, many of them in fact,
256
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,560
from several different countries...
257
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,160
But they all get the same answer:
He is not for sale.
258
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,920
And Zlatan in particular
needs to mature.
259
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,240
I have a good relationship with him.
260
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,520
I can see that he needs experience.
261
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,680
Not only on the field but also in life.
262
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,440
Deep down,
Zlatan is such a nice guy.
263
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,880
But he doesn't
have faith in many people.
264
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:37,160
It must be tough at his age,
not having anybody to turn to.
265
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,200
I can be a pain in the ass.
266
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,920
I'm hard to get along with.
267
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,680
I have my dad's temper.
268
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,760
He's a confident guy too.
269
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,360
He knows what he wants
and he knows what he's doing.
270
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,120
I like to dribble.
271
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,280
So sometimes,
instead of passing, I dribble.
272
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,480
Sure, that might annoy the other players,
273
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,640
but it's a part of the game.
274
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,560
Without that, it's no fun.
275
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:31,360
Football has to be fun.
Otherwise, it's not worth playing.
276
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,280
A big game in Superettan
between Malmö FF and Djurgården...
277
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:57,120
Malmö had a good team, on paper,
with well-known players.
278
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,040
And then they had this newcomer,
Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
279
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:08,440
A young, arrogant, cocky guy
280
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,960
who didn't really have anything
to be cocky about.
281
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:18,000
It was like he enjoyed
humiliating his opponents
282
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,000
more than scoring a goal.
283
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,320
That if he cut someone down,
it made him bigger.
284
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:35,560
My job was to mark Zlatan.
285
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,080
This kid who could basically
do anything with a football...
286
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,400
But who had a hard time
controlling himself,
287
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,560
he'd want to retaliate,
and he'd get physical about it.
288
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:58,240
So I'd stand right behind him
and trash-talk a little.
289
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,800
We knew that if
we could get him off-balance,
290
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,600
he wouldn't play as well.
291
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,080
We'd had several clashes already.
292
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,440
Zlatan elbowed me hard
when the ref wasn't looking.
293
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,600
So I remember thinking:
"You want trouble, you got it!"
294
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,400
"That guy belongs on the bench.
He should be taught a lesson."
295
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,880
Then there's this situation where
he falls and I think he's diving.
296
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,960
So I run up and say some choice
words about that elbow of his...
297
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,680
Zlatan walks away
and he's really pissed off.
298
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,040
We had him exactly
where we wanted him.
299
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,160
Mission accomplished...
300
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,200
We win the game.
301
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,800
And the Djurgården supporters
really taunted Zlatan.
302
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,000
When Zlatan gave the elbow,
it was a big scandal.
303
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,040
People were talking badly about Zlatan
and agreed with the suspension.
304
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,880
I saw him a lot of times after that.
305
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,480
He felt the media
had played a role in this,
306
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,240
building up his image
in a negative way beforehand.
307
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:09,480
And then of course, the suspension
was extra hard because of that.
308
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:18,040
Usually it doesn't take me
too much time get into a person.
309
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,000
But with Zlatan, this was different.
310
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:26,400
Me, as a team manager, I have
to help him, to comfort him a little.
311
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,960
To show also that you
understand why things happen.
312
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,120
Not only punish him and say
"You're a stupid fool,
313
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,000
you damage the team,
you damage yourself"...
314
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,920
But I could not touch the right strings
315
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:46,000
to make him do what I wanted
or understand him...
316
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:53,040
The real Zlatan, he was always
protected by a little wall around him.
317
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,000
He didn't have
that many people visiting him.
318
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,320
I remember his girlfriend Mia came...
319
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,800
And I just met her a few times
320
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,880
and then suddenly she stopped coming.
321
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,480
I met her, I think, twice.
322
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,440
and he introduced her very politely.
323
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,960
And then suddenly I asked for her,
"Hey, how's your girlfriend?"
324
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,000
"She's gone. We split."
And that was it.
325
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,120
Zlatan, may we take a picture?
326
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,480
- Doesn't it get lonely sometimes?
- Yes, it does.
327
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,840
There's a lot of downtime.
328
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,080
I'm at home alone a lot.
329
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,720
I try to make the best of things,
But there's not much going on...
330
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,840
I miss my family and friends
and what I had in Malmö.
331
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,160
Even the football there.
Now I have to start over.
332
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,160
I have to make a new life for myself.
333
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,280
Malmö or Amsterdam?
334
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,840
Malmö.
335
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,120
Zlatan lived in Diemen,
this little place near Amsterdam.
336
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,440
With this big couch, big bed and...
337
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,200
...a computer.
338
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,720
And that was his life.
339
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,520
When you're finished training,
you're home at 1 or 2 o'clock maybe.
340
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,000
And then, the rest of the day,
what do you have to do?
341
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,840
You just sit there alone.
Make phone calls to Sweden.
342
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,520
And then play computer,
eat something and go to sleep.
343
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,960
This Sunday, Ajax will play
PSV in a top-of-the table clash.
344
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,200
The good news is that
Yakubu and Zlatan will be back.
345
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,120
After a five-game suspension
due to elbowing,
346
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,080
Zlatan will be available again
on Sunday against PSV.
347
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,000
I remember his dad
coming to see him play.
348
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,840
Dad visited the arena, the stadium
and the dressing room...
349
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,360
Introducing him
to the people at the stadium...
350
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,640
He was looking around and
you could see his eyes twinkling.
351
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,160
We have a great picture.
352
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,200
Me and Zlatan and his dad
at the car park of the arena,
353
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,080
with his dad standing
in between us with a suit...
354
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,560
I remember that his dad wasn't happy
that he had the name Zlatan on his back.
355
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,520
His dad wasn't happy.
356
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,800
He wanted him
to have Ibrahimovic on his back.
357
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,640
Two minutes left. 2-2.
358
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,520
Kindvall to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
359
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,320
Really keeps his cool, this 18-year-old.
360
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:24,600
His seventh goal, the second tonight,
Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
361
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,120
And now Malmö FF
tops the league again.
362
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,520
Today, everything clicked.
363
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,720
It was a real show.
364
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,480
It felt good from the start.
365
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,240
- Good job, Zlatan.
- Thanks!
366
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,560
I had to be great since I've had
a lot of criticism lately.
367
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:10,040
I haven't been on top of my game.
368
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:18,960
I've been feeling off...
I haven't been playing well.
369
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,680
That's probably it.
Now everything is perfect.
370
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,000
- Why haven't you been feeling well?
- I've had stomach pains.
371
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,200
Too much stress.
372
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,680
- In what way?
- It's nothing I want to comment on.
373
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,320
The Super Diva of Superettan.
374
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,120
I've learned to take care of myself.
375
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,920
I lived alone with my dad.
376
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:34,120
Dad's... not the best cook,
so I had to do it on my own.
377
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,280
I've done many things all by myself.
378
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,360
So when I lived with him,
I'd go to my mom's house everyday.
379
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,480
Okay, I was a bit annoying.
I'd go there and eat a lot.
380
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,280
So sometimes she threw me out,
when I was too much.
381
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,480
I had to go outdoors and play football.
382
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,280
And it was a good move
to get my own place.
383
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,280
To take care of myself.
That's important.
384
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,480
But I don't do my own laundry yet.
385
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,800
Mom takes care of that.
But I'll get there.
386
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,920
I couldn't find the laundry room.
But I'll get there...
387
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,640
I spend a lot of time with my dad.
We're in touch a lot.
388
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,240
He's followed my career
since the very beginning.
389
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,000
He's very demanding.
390
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,440
He pushes me a lot.
391
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,480
There was a time
when we fought a lot.
392
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,560
I... I just wanted too much.
393
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,000
It was when I got promoted
to the first team.
394
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,920
I really thought I was something.
395
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:56,400
Whenever I thought I'd done well,
he'd say something negative:
396
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,280
"You simply have to play better."
397
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,120
Sometimes he can be a bit rough.
But that's good.
398
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,920
'Cause if I'd played a good game,
399
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,440
I might think that I've made it.
400
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,120
But he keeps pushing me.
401
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:23,280
He said to me: "You're nobody
until you're somebody in Europe."
402
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,440
Come on!
403
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,640
Show us some goddamn strength!
404
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,560
Yes! Zlatan!
405
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,880
I'll take your phone number...
406
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,480
Really?
407
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,000
So do you want the number or what?
408
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:49,040
Ibrahimovic is a boy who doesn't
deserve to wear the Ajax shirt.
409
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:53,840
If it weren't so sad for Ajax, for the fans,
for Leo Beenhakker who bought him,
410
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,920
you'd be able to laugh about it.
That's how hilarious it is.
411
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:04,320
I'd like to insult this lazy migrant worker
in such a way to make him leave.
412
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:11,320
According to article 1 in our constitution,
discrimination is against the law.
413
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:16,760
But can't we just this once make use
of Pim Fortuijn's argument.
414
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,880
And say: "Hey, Zlatan,
you second-class foreigner..."
415
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,160
"Beat it! The Netherlands is full!"
416
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,160
Ajax moved one step closer
to the league title.
417
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,040
The hard-fought 1-0 victory
over FC Utrecht yesterday
418
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:37,640
means the first title
in four years is within reach.
419
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:44,040
John O'Brien brilliantly assisted
the all-important goal for Mido.
420
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:49,760
The Egyptian's 11th goal of the season
gave Ajax those 3 vital points.
421
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,880
Mido's been unhappy as a left winger
and has hinted at leaving,
422
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,680
but after those important goals,
things are looking up again.
423
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,040
The first six months wasn't great.
424
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:13,800
I wasn't happy playing as a left-winger.
425
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
When Co Adriaanse left
and Koeman came,
426
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,280
I went to his office and said
I want to play as a striker.
427
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,840
So he said: "Yeah, but you will have
big competition with Zlatan being there
428
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,360
because Machlas being there."
And I said: "I don't care.
429
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,440
I want to play as a striker,
this is my position."
430
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:33,200
Didn't Ajax buy the same type of striker
when it comes to Zlatan and Mido?
431
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:39,160
No, I think that Zlatan and Mido
are different types of strikers.
432
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:44,320
Mido is, even more than Zlatan,
a "real number 9".
433
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:49,240
Especially considering
his aggression by the goal.
434
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,000
He is a good header. He takes up
positions at the both posts.
435
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,200
Zlatan has to do better
at those aspects of the game.
436
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,240
You have three strikers now:
437
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,160
Machlas, Zlatan and Mido.
Isn't that one too many?
438
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,360
There was a moment at every Monday
439
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,160
after again a bad match from his side,
440
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,040
he came upstairs to my office...
441
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,640
"Boss"...
442
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,840
There is a big stadium
and there are 60 thousand people,
443
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,840
and you have to show that you are
worth nine million fucking euros!
444
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,640
It's not easy.
445
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,280
That every week there came
more pressure on me also, of course,
446
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,880
for the big money I had spent.
447
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,400
I was doing very well
and scoring in every game.
448
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,960
I was the striker
449
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,480
that fits the No. 9 of Ajax
a little bit more than Zlatan.
450
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,800
Zlatan was more the player
who wants to get the ball a bit deep
451
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,440
and dribble two players and try to score.
452
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,560
Which is great, but it's not Ajax.
453
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,520
In Ajax, you have to be a team player.
454
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:22,000
You have to adapt yourself
to the Ajax system.
455
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,800
How do you see your future at Ajax?
456
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,880
I think I will die tomorrow.
457
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,600
I'm only 20,
I have all my future in front of me.
458
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,080
And the future is in Ajax.
459
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:44,000
- Definitely?
- Yeah, that's why I signed for 5 years.
460
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:58,560
Koeman always did training
the day before a game,
461
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,360
and then say
who is playing and who is not.
462
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,800
If you don't play,
that is the hardest thing, actually.
463
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:17,120
I had that a lot of times
in my life as a footballer.
464
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,120
You feel lonely,
like everybody is against you.
465
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,680
Or you're not important
because they don't need you,
466
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,800
you're on the bench.
467
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,800
You're second choice.
468
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,360
Sometimes he could handle it,
469
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,960
but sometimes he was also pissed off.
470
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:50,080
Don't talk. Don't make jokes.
Go home quick.
471
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,680
There was a rule in Ajax:
After training, you eat with each other.
472
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:02,880
And then, when he was not playing,
he'd go home quick.
473
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,440
You felt alone
and not part of the team.
474
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,400
Amsterdam, let's hear it
for Nikos Machlas!
475
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,080
Amsterdam, a big hand for Zlatan!
476
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,080
He was smiling, laughing
and jumping around...
477
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,840
So he was happy, but I know...
478
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,480
I know deep inside...
479
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,680
...a little thing is still telling you
480
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,120
"Shit, you don't play!"
481
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:06,120
He scored again today...
Here he is, Mido!
482
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,280
While vacation officially
began for Ajax today,
483
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,480
the next season's squad
is already taking shape.
484
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,760
Ajax has three strikers:
Zlatan, Mido and Machlas.
485
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,360
"One too many," says Koeman.
486
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:33,720
He thinks it best if the Swede, bought
last year for 9 million euros, is sold.
487
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,240
So the most expensive player
in the history of Ajax,
488
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,920
can look for another club
just a year after his arrival.
489
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:05,200
Press "S"...
490
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,040
Press "S".
491
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:12,040
- Not that one, press "S"!
- Not on my computer.
492
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,920
- Press the left button!
- Yeah...
493
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,760
- That's what I'm doing.
- The one you shoot with!
494
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,120
Look!
495
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,400
Don't touch my computer.
496
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,880
I haven't touched it.
I just changed the buttons.
497
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,080
Sweetie... Look.
498
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,160
You're twisted...
499
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:54,680
Mom didn't know when I began
negotiations with Ajax.
500
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,440
I didn't tell her.
She found out by watching TV.
501
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,160
They ran this photo of me.
Her Swedish isn't that good,
502
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,360
so she thought something
had happened to me.
503
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,960
She phoned in a panic: "What's wrong?"
504
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,040
"Nothing, I've been sold to Ajax!"
505
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:19,600
She started crying.
When I got home, I got a big hug.
506
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:22,400
So she's happy.
507
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:28,240
Dad knew. I'd asked him:
"What do you think about Ajax?"
508
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,760
I didn't say that I was negotiating,
just asked what he thought.
509
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,640
"It's a good team," he said.
I just wanted his opinion.
510
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,480
He collects newspaper clippings.
511
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,320
He tries to get them all.
512
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,640
In the room he fixed up,
there's a lot of Zlatan.
513
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,240
It's nice.
514
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,200
He's proud of me.
515
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,560
We moved around a lot.
516
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:06,160
One year, we might
live in two different places.
517
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,600
We'd move every six months.
518
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:14,480
We didn't like it, so we complained
about the apartment being cold...
519
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,560
Then we didn't like the neighbors,
and we moved again.
520
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,480
We moved a lot.
521
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,720
Photos of when he was little...
522
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,840
- "Zigge".
- "Zigge", the gypsy.
523
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,440
That's Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
524
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,440
- Doesn't he look sweet?
- Looks can deceive you...
525
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:08,400
"Zlatan tastes life as a pro"
526
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:13,160
"Zlatan's new life"
527
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,760
The first game
is between MFF and AIK.
528
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,000
But most eyes
are on Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
529
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,560
who will be going off
to play with Ajax as of August 1.
530
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,800
The crowd got the start
that they were hoping for.
531
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,960
1-0 after the first half for Malmö.
Goal scored by Zlatan.
532
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,320
He gets the ball, runs full speed
into the penalty area and shoots.
533
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,400
Right into the goal!
534
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:57,640
How does he do it?
535
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,160
Super-Zlatan! Super-Zlatan!
536
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:15,200
Can I have your shorts?
537
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,360
May I have the shirt?
538
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:21,760
- Can I have your shoes?
- You can have this.
539
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,120
I don't have any more.
540
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,840
Can I have one shoe?
Just the one?
541
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,800
Nice ring!
542
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,160
She's very cute.
543
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,160
She's great... both cute and pretty.
544
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:44,760
A great girl.
545
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,680
I met her last year, in June.
546
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,400
It was vacation time for MFF
and I went to Ayia Napa.
547
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,760
I was staying at some hotel.
548
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,440
She was working at the bar there.
549
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:04,600
She claims that I was checking her out,
but she was checking me out.
550
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:10,640
We started talking.
Then a little boy asked for my autograph.
551
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:17,800
She thought I'd paid him
to come and ask in front of her.
552
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,840
She had no idea who I was.
And I really appreciate that.
553
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,760
Then... things just unfolded.
554
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:30,360
We talked and all...
555
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:33,840
Well, something happened...
556
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:38,360
She cried when I left.
I was like "what happened?"
557
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,640
After I got back home, we kept talking.
She called from Cyprus.
558
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:47,800
She got this terrible phone bill,
and her mother was upset.
559
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,080
And then she came home.
560
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,400
I went up to Gothenburg to see her.
561
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,880
I was so nervous.
562
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,480
I got to meet her entire family
at the same time.
563
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:06,080
Her grandpa, grandma, mom, dad,
and her little sister.
564
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,240
They even had a dog.
565
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,800
I met them all...
566
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,280
Things have just evolved.
She's coming with me to Holland.
567
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,080
She'll study and I'll play football.
568
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,680
Then we'll see what happens...
569
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:26,000
Hoping for a Zlatan Junior in future.
570
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:36,240
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back at Ajax.
During the World Cup, Zlatan said
571
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,160
that he didn't want to return to Ajax
to sit on the bench.
572
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,480
What do you expect of this season?
573
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,560
Train hard...
574
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,880
Try to play some games, hopefully...
575
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,880
I can't expect other things.
Hopefully, I will play.
576
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:59,600
He is a talented young player,
but he needs to grow.
577
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:04,840
Usually the second year is better.
Let's hope that's the case with Zlatan.
578
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,240
I had some doubting moments
579
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,960
about the future of Zlatan
in the Ajax system.
580
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:20,240
My first decision was
to bring Jari Litmanen back to Ajax.
581
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:25,280
Litmanen was an idol in Holland,
an experienced player.
582
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,280
Mostly the offensive position
on the midfield,
583
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,600
close to the position of Zlatan.
584
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,960
From the first training,
I was talking to him quite a lot.
585
00:54:38,240 --> 00:54:42,920
He was a little bit unsure
about his future there and about himself.
586
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,760
One of the things
I said immediately was
587
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,120
"Zlatan, I'm helping you."
588
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,600
"And I'm not your opponent here."
589
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,080
Because I was the second striker,
590
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:01,080
my role was to play behind Zlatan
and give him the passes.
591
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,600
And Zlatan wanted
to hear things from me,
592
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,360
because I was the experienced player.
593
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,120
I had already done all the mistakes.
594
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,560
At that time, I wasn't really
every day at the club.
595
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:20,680
But when I saw him, he was always...
interested if I had something to say.
596
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,400
He knew me as a former football player.
597
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,080
He knew what I had done before,
598
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,280
but he was also, at the same time...
he wanted to play with me.
599
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:34,120
To challenge me, show it to me,
if I could do all these things.
600
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:40,160
So I said:
"You have a big temperament."
601
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,160
"It's good. The only thing
is that you have to use
602
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:48,240
these energies
coming into you in the right way."
603
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,480
And then he was watching me like:
"Okay, what do you want?"
604
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,920
"You are acting, talking like a big star,
605
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,960
but show it to me."
"It's good what you're doing,
606
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,440
but in the end,
the ball has to be in the goal."
607
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,400
Our first game
was in Champions League.
608
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,880
Zlatan's first Champions League.
609
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,560
He was a little bit nervous
and wanted to talk with me.
610
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,360
And I just reminded him...
611
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,800
That... "Don't worry."
612
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,040
"Just be relaxed,
we are playing together."
613
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,040
Van der Meyde. Galasek.
614
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,960
Chivu. Maxwell.
615
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,800
Good pass, straight to Ibrahimovic.
616
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,640
Well done! What a brilliant goal
617
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,640
by Zlatan Ibrahimovic after 10 minutes.
618
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,880
Litmanen...
619
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,120
Good. Ibrahimovic, and it's 2-0.
620
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,160
Ajax is really cleaning up here!
621
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:28,680
Once again, it's Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
622
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:39,000
Well, I wonder what Mr. Mido
is thinking in the stands.
623
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,280
You must be
the happiest man in this stadium.
624
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,960
I'm happy, but not maybe the happiest.
But it went well today.
625
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:53,360
This was the first game
where people shouted your name.
626
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,520
It's good. When it goes well,
they shout my name
627
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,360
but when it doesn't go well,
you never know.
628
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,440
Galasek...
629
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,520
Litmanen...
630
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:28,280
Ibrahimovic scores his first league
goal in this year's competition.
631
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,800
And Jari Litmanen created it.
632
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,080
Zlatan, the second season,
has started to do better.
633
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,320
He's started to gain his confidence back.
634
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,520
And I started to create problems.
635
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,680
Which actually helped Zlatan a lot
to get into the team.
636
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,600
Because if I didn't have my problems,
637
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,640
I don't think Zlatan
would have been let in easily.
638
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:08,320
When I got to the point
where I had to fight a lot for my position,
639
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:13,040
I handled things the wrong way,
if you can say that.
640
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,480
If I'm not playing,
you have a war with me.
641
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,040
So I have a clash with Koeman
and I have a fight with him.
642
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,360
an argument with him.
I didn't show up at training.
643
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,760
I want to go back to Egypt,
I'm not happy, I want to leave...
644
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,960
Because I want to be playing.
645
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,960
You don't understand how people
were following me back in Egypt.
646
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,720
I was the only player from there
playing at the top level, you know.
647
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,280
So people were waiting
for the Ajax game.
648
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,800
"Ajax will play today,
so we have to sit and watch Mido."
649
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,040
All the coffee shops, the restaurants,
650
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,360
everywhere was just
waiting for the Ajax game.
651
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:06,560
If I'm not playing,
you have a personal problem with me.
652
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,000
We played the game against PSV.
653
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,360
Zlatan and Mido were playing, both...
654
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:30,040
And the game was not going well.
655
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,880
I was very upset
that I didn't start the game.
656
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:43,960
I was upset and when I came on,
we were 2-0 down, I think.
657
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,560
And I started arguing
with Zlatan on the pitch.
658
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,880
And Mido was not
passing the ball to Zlatan.
659
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,840
Mido was keeping the ball too much
and too long for himself.
660
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,920
And not looking to other players.
661
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,680
There's a moment
when Zlatan asks for the ball,
662
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,240
is in a good position to score...
663
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,560
Mido has the ball on the left
664
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:17,160
and tries himself to score a goal,
misses and Zlatan gets angry.
665
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,840
There's shouting
and there's doors slamming.
666
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,800
And they come into the dressing room...
667
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:35,200
It burns, it's like a volcano.
668
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,480
I was shouting at everyone
and Zlatan...
669
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,360
Zlatan was shouting back at me.
670
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,960
Zlatan was still screaming at Mido.
671
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,240
And Mido said:
"you know, it's enough now."
672
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,400
And I had the scissors in my hand
because I was taking off...
673
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,040
...the wrapping of my ankles.
674
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,920
Zlatan keeps going on...
And Mido was cutting the tape away.
675
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,720
And then he threw the scissors
almost at Zlatan's head.
676
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,480
He just throws it at Zlatan...
677
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:11,560
Zlatan makes a reflex
and it misses his head by an inch.
678
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,520
Ten minutes later,
I just went into the shower,
679
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,000
and he was sitting there at the Jacuzzi.
680
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,520
We just looked at each other
and started laughing.
681
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,600
I said to Zlatan:
"You know that I almost killed you?"
682
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,400
And he said: "Yeah, I know."
683
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,360
The final decision was out of the team.
684
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,680
Everybody can do a mistake,
but not that kind of mistake...
685
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,560
Because that's crazy.
686
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:02,520
Are you willing to take him back
if he apologizes?
687
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,440
Well, the chance is very slim.
688
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,400
I think Mido has one problem,
and that is Mido himself.
689
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,760
Since Mido was banned
from the first-team squad last Friday,
690
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,800
not a single player
has stood up for him in public.
691
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,640
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
is now the first to do so.
692
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,320
Everybody tried to put shit on Mido.
693
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,400
Mido is young, he has done mistakes.
694
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,400
But don't dig him under the grave.
695
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,520
When he scored
the goals here, he was God.
696
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,560
Then you didn't talk
and now you're talking...
697
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,840
That's why I'm asking,
because he gets the blame.
698
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,680
Think instead that when he played good
and you didn't talk.
699
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:51,760
But now you're talking
because he did something
700
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:55,720
that can happen to everybody.
I did some mistakes in Sweden.
701
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,400
I did it, no problem, we go on.
It's a new day.
702
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:03,040
You become older, you grow up.
703
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,360
Every day something new happens.
704
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,000
- Have you done mistakes?
- Many.
705
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,480
Nobody's talking about them
because you're only a reporter.
706
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,440
After that, Mido left.
707
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,320
And I got sold to Italy.
708
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,960
That was my best period of football.
709
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,840
You know, we were friends.
710
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:34,640
Zlatan and me, we had a good contact.
711
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:38,640
I went to his house,
we played on the computer...
712
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:43,000
And Zlatan was very open to me.
And I was open to him. Very honest.
713
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,720
We come from the same situation.
714
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,000
I was alone with my mom in Amsterdam.
715
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:55,280
I didn't see my dad, he was a gambler.
716
01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:00,120
And we had difficult times at home.
717
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,200
Sometimes the police came in
to search for my father.
718
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:07,120
Because he didn't pay bills, or whatever.
719
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:13,920
And Zlatan also
had trouble at home with his dad...
720
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:18,640
...who was drinking alcohol.
So we had a connection.
721
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:23,720
With that. The same things, really,
we've seen in life as a young person.
722
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,840
I felt very good with him.
723
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,840
We were always talking,
also when I played in Inter.
724
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:36,200
We'd go on the computer
and chat all day.
725
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:41,120
And make fun...
"How is it in Inter? How is it in Italy?"
726
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,400
"It's nice..."
727
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:48,200
"Nice, you have to come also."
I hoped that he was coming to Inter.
728
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:52,760
I was playing there.
It would be good for me also, you know.
729
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:07,320
When Zlatan was sold to Ajax for
that kind of money, you take notice.
730
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:12,480
He went from being a noob
to being Mr. Big.
731
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,200
And everyone wants to bring
the big ones down.
732
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,120
Number nine, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
733
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,840
We had some battles in Superettan,
734
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:28,960
and the pressure from the fans
to see a tough fight.
735
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,200
We have to take him down.
736
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:37,840
Patrik Eriksson-Ohlsson
is showing fine qualities...
737
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:43,120
...keeping the three-man
defence line tight.
738
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,840
"You won't get past us, Zlatan."
739
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:50,200
"Djurgården's defence line is going
to stop the super-talent today."
740
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:52,800
There was an article the day before,
741
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,640
where the three of us said
how we were going to stop Zlatan.
742
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:01,040
We knew exactly how to do it,
because we had done it before.
743
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:02,440
"We have to play tough,
744
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:07,600
our fans don't want him to get through,"
Eriksson-Ohlsson says.
745
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,440
Wallinder's looking
for Andreas Johansson.
746
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,680
Zlatan goes in pretty hard
on Patrik Eriksson-Ohlsson.
747
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:25,000
Zlatan isn't exactly
the sweetheart of Djurgården...
748
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,440
Zlatan breaks
and Ijeh's in a good position.
749
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,520
Can he get the ball to him?
750
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,720
He can't get past Eriksson-Ohlsson.
751
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:46,520
Zlatan again and check out
his glorious technique!
752
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:48,640
And he finishes!
753
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,840
Oh, what an artist!
754
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,560
What a wonderful player he is!
755
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,360
He's making gestures
at the Djurgården crowd!
756
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,360
That's not exactly popular...
757
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:09,080
He made a fool out of us.
Cheated the entire defence.
758
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,680
All three of us.
759
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,800
He could've made
a simple pass to the left,
760
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,840
but chooses to dribble and shoot.
761
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:25,640
"Don't mess up!"
I remember thinking that.
762
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,640
He had read the article
and wanted to show us:
763
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:33,640
"Forget about it, guys!
It's me..."
764
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:45,480
Sorry to say, people are
throwing stuff from the stands.
765
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,680
That's not... very nice.
766
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:55,040
Coins and cans
are being thrown at the pitch.
767
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:02,840
I didn't see it happen,
but apparently Zlatan got hit.
768
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,240
I'd totally forgotten about this.
769
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:20,040
We hate Zlatan! We hate Zlatan!
770
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,760
Zlatan is a diva...
771
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,240
- Have you been to the circus?
- Yes.
772
01:09:30,440 --> 01:09:32,760
Have you seen the guy
with the red nose?
773
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:34,880
Then you know who Zlatan is.
774
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,440
Come to the bus.
775
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,160
- Can you sign my shirt?
- Sure, come to the bus.
776
01:09:49,440 --> 01:09:51,880
- Think about Rosengård.
- What?
777
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,680
We're gonna get you.
778
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,400
- It's gonna get ugly back home.
- Why?
779
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,560
Well, if you keep on like this.
780
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:39,320
He has to hide out.
It's hard to go anywhere.
781
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:47,480
He only wants to be at home
watching movies. Take it easy...
782
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:01,520
It's hard on him, he can't go out.
783
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:04,920
Like just chilling out in town.
784
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,640
Walking around, going out to eat
785
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:13,160
without people coming up to him,
asking for autographs.
786
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:19,560
Just to have a day by ourselves.
That would be really great.
787
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:23,720
I hope we can get that in Holland.
At least in the beginning.
788
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,360
Later, who knows...
789
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,200
"King Zlatan"
790
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,560
"Good Luck, Zlatan!"
791
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,400
Malmö is forced
to make a substitution.
792
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,200
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is leaving.
793
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:51,800
Please give him a big hand.
Wish him good luck with Ajax!
794
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:56,040
Number 9,
Zlatan Ibrahimovic!
795
01:14:22,440 --> 01:14:27,880
In the first two seasons, Zlatan played
with "Zlatan" on the back of the shirt.
796
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:35,160
Then one day he came and said
"I want my full name on my shirt."
797
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:38,120
I didn't understand at first...
What do you mean?
798
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:42,320
"No more Zlatan, Ibrahimovic."
799
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:48,200
The season starts,
then there's a friendly match
800
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,680
with Sweden against Holland.
801
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,920
Zlatan playing against his team mates.
802
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:58,560
Even though it was a friendly match,
he played with an extra dose of ambition.
803
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:03,080
At a certain moment,
Zlatan receives the ball.
804
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:09,040
Van der Vaart, his team mate at Ajax,
his captain of Ajax, interferes.
805
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:13,920
His big foot comes in like a spade
to protect the ball,
806
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:19,680
but hits also the leg of Rafael,
who starts screaming on the ground.
807
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:21,840
And Zlatan walks away
like nothing happened.
808
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:28,280
What an annoying little guy!
809
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:32,320
What a major pain in the ass.
810
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,520
Always lashing out at people...
811
01:15:36,440 --> 01:15:38,520
I don't like him.
812
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,800
Yeah, it's just ridiculous.
813
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,920
I don't know if it was on purpose,
but it was an awful foul.
814
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,720
And not the only one in the game.
What's going on with him?
815
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:53,240
I don't know.
There was nothing the matter...
816
01:15:53,440 --> 01:15:58,480
Maybe he felt the need to show off,
but in a misguided way.
817
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:01,840
What will happen tomorrow
when you meet at Ajax?
818
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:05,520
That will be difficult,
because I'm disappointed in him.
819
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:10,600
Many questions remain, so it's time
to visit the Amsterdam Arena.
820
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:14,440
There he is, hiding in his agent's car.
821
01:16:15,440 --> 01:16:18,400
Everybody in Holland
is asking "What about this?"
822
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,120
No comment.
823
01:16:21,480 --> 01:16:27,320
Is Ibrahimovic looking for a transfer?
What is wrong with Koeman's Ajax?
824
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:34,600
Everybody saw on TV what happened
between Sweden and Holland,
825
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:38,080
and between Van der Vaart and Zlatan.
And we had to have the next day
826
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,640
a big meeting to handle both players.
827
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:47,520
That was difficult because in that
meeting, Zlatan said to Rafael:
828
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,480
"I don't like you.
I don't like you as a captain."
829
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:54,720
"If Rafael is a man,
he should come up to me
830
01:16:54,920 --> 01:17:00,120
and tell me what he thinks about the
situation, not talking behind my back.
831
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:04,600
And if he does this again,
I chop off his head."
832
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:07,920
And there was silence...
833
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:15,920
After the meeting,
there's a competition match coming up.
834
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:20,000
Rafael wasn't playing,
being injured, on the stands.
835
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:26,040
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the most
notorious player in Ajax right now.
836
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:30,000
Because of him, Rafael van der Vaart
is licking his wounds today.
837
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,840
Ibrahimovic is showered
with angry whistles.
838
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:40,080
The general atmosphere
and attitude from the crowd
839
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:44,400
towards Zlatan,
helped by the media, of course,
840
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,080
is very negative.
841
01:17:48,440 --> 01:17:54,200
The atmosphere was more like
Zlatan against the rest of the world.
842
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,360
Ajax is trailing behind.
Boukhari hits the post,
843
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:07,240
and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores.
844
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,640
Then he scores one goal
and then another...
845
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,760
And there was a certain tension there,
846
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:19,000
you could feel it also with the players.
847
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,560
And Ibrahimovic rounds it off.
848
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:28,560
The enthusiasm is for Ibrahimovic,
but he doesn't show a lot of emotion.
849
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,560
Then comes one of the most
remarkable goals ever scored
850
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,960
in an Ajax shirt
by an Ajax center forward.
851
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,320
Ibrahimovic...
852
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,560
Great control.
853
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:48,840
Now where's the shot?
854
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:55,280
Maradona, Zidane, they can do it.
855
01:18:55,480 --> 01:18:57,920
And so can Ibrahimovic!
856
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:02,240
The stadium exploded,
people went berserk.
857
01:19:02,440 --> 01:19:08,520
The same people who earlier
whistled and booed Zlatan...
858
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:10,640
...all loved him now.
859
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,640
For Van der Vaart sitting on the stands,
he was as cool and collected
860
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,760
as if nothing happened.
861
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,000
A stunning goal.
862
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,480
It's ballet... Art.
863
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:28,480
He put his mark...
864
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:32,600
"Don't forget, this is Zlatan!"
865
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:36,160
There's only one Zlatan.
866
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:39,520
- Are you sure?
- Yeah. You know Zlatan?
867
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,640
Sometimes I think it's his twin brother.
868
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:45,560
Because last Wednesday
it was another behavior then.
869
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:48,120
Are you proud
when you make a goal like that?
870
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,720
I'm proud for my team
and for my club, yes.
871
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:55,920
Can you describe us who is Zlatan?
A lot of Dutch people doesn't understand.
872
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,320
I've never heard this question before,
873
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:00,680
I think only you're the one
who doesn't understand,
874
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,200
so you should ask
the people who know Zlatan.
875
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:08,600
- What do you think they'll say?
- Ask them.
876
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:16,280
A few days later, there's a deadline
of the transfer period
877
01:20:16,480 --> 01:20:19,200
which comes together
with the celebration
878
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:22,680
of the "Footballer of the Year" event.
879
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,120
He was there together with his agent
880
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:31,400
and strange things were happening...
881
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:36,720
His agent was sitting calmly
at the table. But not for long...
882
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,720
Raiola had to leave the party
after an urgent phone call.
883
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:45,040
- Mino, you're in such a hurry.
- Yes, I'm afraid so.
884
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:49,160
I'll call you back in 10 seconds.
885
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:55,840
Along with AS Roma, another club
is interested in the striker: Juventus.
886
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:59,240
And while the others
went on partying unsuspectingly,
887
01:20:59,440 --> 01:21:04,520
Juventus paid
15 to 20 million euros for Zlatan.
888
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,680
We lost a great player.
889
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:12,600
He knew he had grown too big for Ajax.
890
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:18,000
And it's destiny,
that we lose players like this.
891
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:20,120
But I hate it...
892
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:26,480
He could be the real leader
who would help Ajax to more titles.
893
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:31,240
And that's what I like,
because I am Ajax.
894
01:21:31,440 --> 01:21:33,800
I was Ajax.
895
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:52,520
At 2 am, Zlatan and his dad
arrived at their hotel in Turin,
896
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,600
after signing his most
important autograph ever.
897
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,320
After a medical exam
he is ready to meet the press,
898
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,360
with a respectful and humble attitude.
899
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:05,120
I don't like to talk about myself,
I want other people
900
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,680
to judge the way I'm playing,
but what can I say...
901
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:15,160
I'm 1.92 meters, 93 kilos and...
I like to play football.
902
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:22,920
I remember a columnist at
Gazzetta dello Sport who wrote
903
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:26,880
that we shouldn't take Ibrahimovic
because he plays only for himself.
904
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:30,800
Evidently he hadn't understood a thing.
A player who comes to Juventus,
905
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:35,640
the main thing
he needs to have is personality.
906
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,760
I wanted to know his past,
907
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:42,520
so we talked about everything,
including his childhood.
908
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:48,920
He probably would have wound up
a bicycle thief, if it wasn't for soccer.
909
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,680
Look here!
910
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,760
"Ajax Star Joins Juventus"
911
01:23:12,440 --> 01:23:15,280
The day he came to Juventus.
912
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:21,240
I remember getting an early morning
phone call from Moggi where he told me:
913
01:23:21,440 --> 01:23:25,000
"I negotiated all night long,
we have Ibrahimovic."
914
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:30,400
I didn't really believe him, since Moggi
was known to stretch the truth,
915
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,400
so I thought: "He must be joking!"
916
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:39,840
At that time, Juventus was
the strongest team I'd seen in my career.
917
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:43,520
And the best possible coach - Capello.
918
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:47,440
Zlatan, he'll be spending
some time on the bench.
919
01:23:51,440 --> 01:23:56,000
I told him: "You have the potential
to become number one in the world."
920
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,240
That's what I told him.
921
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:03,560
But he doesn't play to score.
He plays for the fun of it.
922
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,120
I kept telling him,
"The circus is all show.
923
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,320
Your circus acts are for fans
924
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,120
who don't understand soccer
and just want entertainment.
925
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:17,960
But there's no substance.
None."
926
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,200
He understood.
927
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,200
It's a goal! Ibrahimovic!
928
01:24:48,440 --> 01:24:49,920
The first match of the league,
929
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:53,480
he scores and makes
the third goal for Juventus.
930
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:57,680
But above all, he scores big
as Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
931
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:02,960
The team wants him to feel welcome,
all ten players.
932
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:08,440
They all hug this guy who just proved
his worth and personality.
933
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:18,160
We're waiting in the mixed zone
for an interview.
934
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:24,200
We're not allowed to film here,
only the sponsor logos.
935
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,240
But Zlatan is late.
936
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:36,080
A Juventus guard tries to stop him.
937
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:38,880
Hey, come on!
938
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:42,160
He's never liked giving interviews.
939
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:46,040
We sports reporters were
a bit intimidated by Ibrahimovic
940
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:50,320
because he was big and tall,
with a deep voice and never smiled.
941
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:56,400
A joke is often enough to break the ice.
With Ibrahimovic, it wasn't like that.
942
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,720
At Juventus,
work is taken very seriously.
943
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:11,400
You work for the team,
the club, and to improve yourself.
944
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,760
He realized that he had joined
an exceptional group of players,
945
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:22,160
who lead decent, private lives
and make sacrifices.
946
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:41,080
Zlatan was staying above the cafe
where I used to work.
947
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:48,800
He'd stop by for a coffee
and breakfast in the morning.
948
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:53,720
He didn't speak much Italian,
but we understood each other.
949
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:59,960
He strung words together and you
pieced together what he meant.
950
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:10,320
I could tell that he was a private person.
951
01:27:11,480 --> 01:27:14,840
Every morning
he'd ride his bike to the garage
952
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:19,880
where he kept his cars.
Then he'd drive to the training field.
953
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:25,400
I often saw him come back home alone.
954
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,000
I'd bump into him at IKEA,
955
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:35,360
where he often ate
at the restaurant. Alone.
956
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:43,720
After a few months,
we went to a restaurant in Turin
957
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,040
where we could talk in peace.
958
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:48,720
And that evening he told me:
959
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:53,600
"My dad's Bosnian, my mom's Croatian.
And me... I'm a gypsy!"
960
01:27:55,080 --> 01:28:00,080
Then he asked me: "I want to buy
an apartment, do you know someone?"
961
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:05,920
And I said: "There's a big
apartment for sale in my building,
962
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:09,640
in Piazza Castello,
one of the main plazas in Turin."
963
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:14,280
So I took him to see it...
964
01:28:14,480 --> 01:28:20,200
...and he said:
"Yes, I like it. Good, good!"
965
01:28:22,440 --> 01:28:27,960
It was nice to see
how a person growing up with nothing,
966
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:32,280
suddenly winds up
living in Piazza Castello.
967
01:28:32,480 --> 01:28:38,360
It's a journey
we'd all like to experience in life.
968
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:50,480
Then, a few months later,
Helena, his fiancée, joined him.
969
01:29:19,480 --> 01:29:23,560
He committed, because he felt trusted.
970
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:29,360
He felt we had faith in him and that I...
971
01:29:30,440 --> 01:29:34,480
That I recognized a top player in him.
He understood that.
972
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,360
Hat trick by Ibrahimovic.
973
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,560
That's when he started to improve,
974
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:54,680
and to transform his naiveté
and evolve into a leader.
975
01:29:54,880 --> 01:30:00,200
This moment could determine
the outcome of the championship!
976
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:44,080
The first time I met Zlatan,
I could see his ego...
977
01:30:45,440 --> 01:30:50,040
And Zlatan, in my opinion,
hasn't changed a lot through his career.
978
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:53,360
You could say that he's more wise now.
979
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:56,440
But his main character hasn't changed.
980
01:30:56,640 --> 01:31:00,000
Zlatan has been Zlatan
since he was a young kid.
981
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:05,320
This is the strongest part of his game,
his main quality.
982
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:09,760
He got everyone to play for him.
983
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:14,440
He got everyone to sometimes
adapt to play with Zlatan.
984
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:16,280
And this is Zlatan.
985
01:31:16,480 --> 01:31:19,400
He wouldn't change for anyone.
986
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:24,760
Everybody's been
so excited to see you.
987
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:29,320
- You're obviously happy to be back?
- It's fantastic.
988
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:33,120
It's great to see all these faces.
It's awesome...
989
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:36,000
Where's the balcony
where your mother shouted?
990
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:39,400
Up on the fifth floor.
Under the yellow balcony.
991
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:43,040
- You couldn't stay out all night?
- No.
992
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,000
Mom would curse in Serbo-Croatian,
993
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:50,680
she wanted me to come home.
But I stayed anyhow.
994
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,160
I'm thrilled...
995
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:56,640
It's awesome...
996
01:32:56,840 --> 01:33:00,360
...to be here for the formal opening
of the football court.
997
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:03,400
