Hello and welcome to a very special programme about a very special man. | :00:00. | :00:43. | |
He is a born winner, genuine legend and he is a very entertaining. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
No, Ben, you know who I'm talking about. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
OK, OK, so I am not a football legend but that does not | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
There is no way Jose's men would have been so | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
successful last season without him, and yes, that the | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
But you just can't argue with his world-class impact on English | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
Actually, shall we just have a goal first? | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
Plenty more Zlatan goals coming up and much, much more. | :01:24. | :01:38. | |
Ben and I are hanging out in Sweden to find out | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Zlatan's first coach tells us about how rare | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
He had a rare mentality and also the character to go off and be | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
Be in the Zlatan's biggest influences. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
We trace his incredible journey through the world stop clubs. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
And we marvel at Zlatan's amazing | :02:06. | :02:06. | |
To know exactly how Zlatan got right to the very top of world | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
football we need to start from the beginning. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
This is where it all started for Zlatan, it was here where he was | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
But Zlatan wasn't your traditional Swedish kid with a perfect family. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Right from the beginning Zlatan felt like an outsider. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
For a start, his parents were not Swedish. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Immigrants like most people around here, and | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
everything seemed to revolve around this council estate. | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
For Zlatan this place was not home, it was his whole | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
And this in sums it all up perfectly. | :02:53. | :03:10. | |
Growing up in Roseguard was hard, there was not a lot | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
of money to go around and Zlatan's parents | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
had split up, meaning that | :03:15. | :03:15. | |
family life could often get a bit tricky. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
Things were tough but Zlatan and his friends and he was very | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
close to his sister, riding bikes made him happy, | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
he likes martial arts and more importantly he loved | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
It is amazing to think that this is where Zlatan | :03:25. | :03:46. | |
Here is my heart, here is my history. | :03:47. | :04:06. | |
Zlatan used to play here with his mates but he did not | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
want to be a normal player, he wanted to stand out and be | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
For him it was all about outrageous skills. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Zlatan might have lived in Sweden but his soul was | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
South American, he idolised the Brazilian Ronaldo and he tried to | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
emulate the fancy footwork of the December boys. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Surely when he went to sleep at night this is what he | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
I lost a game, I was watching the Brazilians play | :04:28. | :04:39. | |
football, the touch they had and the ball was magic. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
More from Ronaldo and here's Ronaldo! | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
In Brazil, the pitted between the legs and was a nice | :04:46. | :05:24. | |
Every trick you did, everyone was like, "Oh, yeah!" | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
Zlatan was not only inspired by Brazilian football | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
gods like Ronaldiniho you love other sports, too. | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
When he was a kid he came here to take tae kwon do | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
lessons, which is a martial art that focuses on kicking. | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
You can see how this has helped Zlatan so much, dedication, | :05:46. | :05:58. | |
determination, discipline, it is all here. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
I know, it is incredible and how many times have we seen Zlatan | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Scores on his home debut. Ibrahimovic, Manchester United going | :06:07. | :06:32. | |
And a wonderful strike from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
When the Zlatan shoots, he means it. | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
He was a bit of a rebel and he struggled at school. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
But his football talent shone through and he | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
was snapped up by local professional club FF Malmo when he was 15. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
We went there to find out just he was | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
I am here with Zlatan 's youth coach when he played here as a | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
What were your initial impressions of him? | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
A normal guy, small but fantastic technical | :07:12. | :07:12. | |
He was training for one and half hours, Monday, Tuesday, | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
Thursday, maybe, but after that he would go | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
home and practice all his | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
skills and everything so he had many hours of training at home. | :07:24. | :07:33. | |
I am telling him talent can't take you | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
all the way, you need to work hard and that is the key behind | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
I think it is a problem today in Sweden and also all over | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
the world, they go home and play outside and PlayStation, they did | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
not go out to the pitch and play with your parents or your friends | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
You are always doing these things, and do it better? | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
In his first season he barely played and Malmo got | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
relegated, second season in the second division in Sweden | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
he played a lot and scored a lot of goals, | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
I think everybody after he was 18 years old, | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
we thought he would go to | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Maybe not that he would play at this level up to | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
He had the men talent he the character to go on to be a | :08:23. | :08:33. | |
The football talks for me because if I can then they | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
What did him leaving the club mean to Malmo? | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
We have today a stadium that rebuilding 2009. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
That is incredible, Zlatan never played here for Malmo | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
I hope many more years of exciting football here too, | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
I am here in the Malmo youth set-up, this is where Zlatan used to | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
I am going to get in there and do a bit of freestyle. | :09:11. | :09:44. | |
I love Zlatan because he is very big and here's | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
this positive and he knows he is the best one. | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
He's a very good striker and he scores very good goals. | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
He is duly athletic, he can do everything. | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Years not so quick but he is my favourite player. | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
Sometimes he makes some beautiful goals like when he | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
does the bicycle kick against England. | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
He does the unbelievable stuff and you don't expect it. | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
I love Zlatan because he is the best Swedish player of all time. | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
I am so impressed at the skills, they are top-notch. I can see where | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
Zlatan get it from. I tell you what, what aid for Malmo because there is | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
a budding team of skilled youngsters right here. | :10:53. | :11:03. | |
Malmo is a small place and Zlatan had huge ambitions. He realised that | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
if he wanted to make it as a superstar he had to leave these | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
shores and moved to -- a move to Ajax beckoned and he will urge to | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
seek fame and fortune. Come on, John! Before he moved to Ajax slat | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
and turned down a trial with Arsenal, he told Arsene Wenger that | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
the Zlatan does not do auditions. That confidence served him well in | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
the Dutch capital, he was a big success at Ajax and moved to Italian | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
giants Juventus. Zlatan's international career took off at | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
this point, look at this incredible strike in the 2004 European | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Championships. It is Ibrahimovic is cause! Zlatan was mixing flour with | :11:57. | :12:05. | |
goals every single week, the Italians love the way he moved to | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
Inter Milan he won two league titles and was a top goal scorer in CD a. | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
By 2009 he cemented his reputation as one of the best in Europe, there | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
was a lot of transfer talk. Zlatan had always wanted to play in Spain. | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
Finally he and his dream move. -- he earned his dream move. Yes, the one | :12:28. | :12:43. | |
and only Barcelona had come calling. The iconic Spanish giants. More than | :12:44. | :12:56. | |
just a football club. When he signed it was huge news and he really | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
inspired the Barcelona fans. The already had Lionel Messi and when | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
Zlatan arrived he was the most expensive signing ever. This is the | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
Barcelona dressing room and check this out. This is where Zlatan used | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
to gun week in week out and play amongst some of the greatest players | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
ever. Think about is that they had in US that, Lionel Messi and Tierney | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
on me. This is where they all came. It is incredible. The reason he came | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
was nights like this, electric, incredible Champions League games. | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
But the perfect football did not last long because Zlatan's | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
relationship with the Barcelona manager was bad. They just did not | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
get on. He grew very frustrated with the attention and the media got on | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
his back. This is the pressure at Barcelona, it is where questions | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
were asked about the Zlatan. Would he fit in and was he too much of a | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
bad boy? Zlatan trained harder than ever before to try and fit in at | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
Barcelona and even though they won the league and Zlatan scored goals | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
he was very unhappy. Pet had not spoken to him for months and that | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
meant he was transferred back to Italy to a C Milan. The dream had | :14:23. | :14:33. | |
turned into a nightmare. While Zlatan's dream move to Barcelona may | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
have turned into a nightmare he got his hands on his dream house. He | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
used to run past it every day and dream of living in even when it was | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
not for sale he put in a bit so high the owners could not refuse. Imagine | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
the kickabout he has had in there with his boys. Can you believe they | :14:50. | :15:00. | |
have Zlatan as the bad! As you know my big passion is freestyle and that | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
is my favourite thing about Zlatan, he was the same. He would spend | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
hours perfecting those stunning skills that made him stand out as a | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
player and when he became a pro he developed into the full package so | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
how can you improve your game and be more like Zlatan? Master the ball. | :15:16. | :15:25. | |
Zlatan is totally possible with the ball. Whether it is coming high, | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
long, short, he hasn't. You can practice this by kicking a ball high | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
against the wall and controlling it. Use your superpower. Every player is | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
different and that is the same for you. Take what you haven't turned it | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
into a superpower. I think Zlatan's superpower is the flame backheel. | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
That obviously comes from his tae kwon do days. The spontaneous. | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
Football is all about creativity so get out and express yourself, you do | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
not always have to plan your next shot so go on and have some fun and | :16:02. | :16:13. | |
take your man on. Check this one out. Crossbar challenge. Things | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
don't always go to plan on the football pitch. No one get | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
everything right. I don't, you don't, Zlatan will have a misplaced | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
pass or a sliced shot. Don't worry about it. Keep smiling and you will | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
get there. Zlatan is huge. He is a six foot five man mountain and he | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
uses it to good effect but the same goes for you smaller guys out there. | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
If you are small than make the most of it. Zlatan has had a huge impact | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
on Manchester United and that is because of his world-class | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
leadership qualities, whether it is at training games, help out your | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
team-mates and be kind to them and even if you're quiet you can always | :17:05. | :17:17. | |
lead by example. Come on! Without self belief Zlatan would never have | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
made it to the top. There will always be ups and downs so if you | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
miss an open goal don't worry about it. If you get a hat-trick then | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
don't get carried away. Stay focused and happy and believe in yourself. | :17:29. | :17:43. | |
Come on, boys! Zlatan excise Zlatan! Valencia, art goes Ibrahimovic. He | :17:44. | :17:58. | |
is Zlatan. What is the best thing about Ibrahimovic? Scoring goals. If | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
you could use one or two words to sum him up what would they be? Good. | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
East. Epic. I think that says it all. Off the post! Ibrahimovic! | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
Zlatan Ibrahimovic for Manchester United. Now they have recaptured the | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
League Cup and a huge cheer as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, scorer of two | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
goals here, raises the cup high. He is a football scorer, he is arrogant | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
but in a good way. To you think he ranks among some of the best players | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Manchester United have ever had? The Mac I think he would be in the top | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
ten something. If you get some Zlatan in one word what would be? | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
Years the best. And that is the words but I will let you have it. | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
The final whistle goes on Manchester United have won the Europa League. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
They will be in the Champions League next season. There you have it. What | :19:09. | :19:19. | |
a story and what true -- what a true footballing legend Zlatan is. He is | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
still keeping is getting even in recovery mode! Next week he might | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
even be pulling on a Manchester United shirt once again. He has | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
inspired me to with his gym and text so he and I am, this one is for you, | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
Zlatan. One! I would like to see you do better, far-off! 39, 40... Hello. | :19:41. | :19:50. | |
I have loved learning all about Zlatan. That guy is a total legend. | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
Remember it is all about persistence, hard work, and never | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
giving up. 41, 42,... One and a half! CU! | :20:06. | :20:09. |
