Zlatan is somehow becoming underrated these days, people seem to forget the unbelievable things he used to do and how incredibly versatile he was as a player and the fact that he’s still playing at the highest level at the age of 40 is insane
Thing about Zlatan is that we'll probably never see a player like him again. He's not as talented as say Messi, and Messi and Ronaldo are without a doubt greater. But Zlatan is still worldclass and one of the best strikers to have ever played. And his playstyle is so incredibly entertaining and mindblowing. He's tall and strong as hell, normally players like that are not very technically skilled dribblers but Zlatan is certified "Joga bonito", aka a player with some flair! You noticed and commented early on in the beginning of the video that he does martial arts. Correct, he's been doing Taekwondo since youth and has a black belt. This is what enables him to bend his legs and whole body in ways that other footballers can't, leading to him scoring some goals that no one else could. Again, he is not Messi or Ronaldo. But you could make a "Top 50 goals of the past 20 years" and Zlatan would occupy half the list. Greatest goalscorer of the Swedish national team. He also has elite mentality. 40 years old but still played in the Italian Serie A, and won the freaking league. He didn't play much, and he revealed recently that he's been playing without his cruciate ligament in his left knee the whole season. He had been taking painkillers, injections and all kinds of remedies to enable to him to be present and be a leader for the team. Edit: Oh and 6:50 , that's hands down one of if not THE greatest goals to have ever been scored!
He's as much as talented as Messi. But Messi has physical advantage in being smaller and having a much lower center of balance, which makes it easier to dribble. CR is not so much about talent, he's rather about hard work. Also, Ibra has a heavy personality, so coaches weren't really in love with him.
@@damyr Agree to disagree. Messi is a generational talent, if he had put in as much work in training as Zlatan and Ronaldo he would be leagues ahead both of them. Both Zlatan and Ronaldo are beasts with elite mentality, they know the value of training and practice. Yeah he does have quite the personality. Did not make him friends with Guardiola exactly haha. But Mourinho, Capello and Ancelotti had good relationships with him. Others were more or less OK with him, some quite friendly. In our NT I'd say only Hamrén got along with Zlatan, but that's because Hamrén was basically a figurehead who literally let Zlatan do whatever he wanted and almost had him set the lineups lmao.
@@baverfjant No argue that Messi is the best, but you can't disregard difference in height. In other words, have you ever seen a football player, 190+ cm high, who dribbles like Zlatan? I really can't think of any right now. Yes, Zlatan worked hard too, but his talent is unquestionably god like.
@@damyr Oh of course not! I did actually mention that in my comment. That you don't see players of his height and strength having the technique that he has :) But then again he idolized the original Ronaldo and spent hours and hours trying to copy his moves. And doing martial arts certainly helped him be flexible.
@@baverfjant I just wanted to emphasize that without talents you can train as hard as you can, but you won't achieve such graceful way of playing. And Zlatan's skills are just god given. He's unique and his elegance and creativity is divine. I remember few such god-like talents which made football looks easy, fluid and natural... like Gazza, Roberto Baggio, Maradona, Pele, Ronaldinho, Messi, Ronaldo de Lima... But for instance, even tho he's among the best of the best ever, I wouldn't put CR into that group of players. CR is more a hard working beast. His moves and dribbles are rather more physical (faster, higher, stronger), and less natural. I mean, I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. It's like comparing Brazilian "joga bonito" team from 50es and 60es, with German "panzer" team from 80es and 90es. The difference is obvious. And that's why I'm comparing Zlatan's talent with Messi, and with the rest of the bunch.
Sweden’s finest 🇸🇪😚! Zlatan is Sweden’s best football player of all time. He’s a character. Lots of attitude but also a big heart. He’s 40 years and currently plays as a striker for AC Milan. He’s renowned for his acrobatic strikes and volleys, powerful long-range shots, excellent technique and ball control. He is regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time and is one of the most decorated active footballers in the world. He played for LA Galaxy not many years ago. He’s 6 feet 5 inches tall, a beast on the field.
09:40 I broke the ligaments on a finger playing in goal just trying to get a cross , a pros shot can reach 80/90 MPH (120-130 KMH) and across probably goes , at the most 60/70, and we were kids, so it was probably more likely 40/50MPH, so basically half the speed of a pros shot lool, so yeh that shot could for sure break your finger. I have seen Jon Arne Riise actually break Alan Smith's ankle with a shot. It was not all the just the shot, Smith had turned his body slightly to try and parry the shot and his ankle was at the limit of its rotation. He blocked the shot with his other foot, but the shot was so hard the force was enough to send his standing ankle over the limit and it broke. fricken insane. When they showed it n slow mo, you could see his standing ankle extend, and then the moment the ball hit his other raised foot, the force went through his legs, and the standing ankle went almost instantly , crazy!!! never seen anything like it before or since. It was a Liverpool vs Man U game , I think in the FA cup about 10 years or so ago, I cant remember if it was at Anfield(Liverpool) or Old Trafford(Man U) but I remember the ankle break because it was one of the craziest things I have seen
React to the art of tiki taka by ASComps. Tiki-taka or Tiqui-taca is a Spanish style of playing in football characterised by short passing and movement, working the ball through various channels, and maintaining possession.
Ayee yall reacted to him, definitely worth waiting yalls reactions are great, i would also recommend some keeper highlights, more specifically Manuel neuer, one of the greatest to ever do it. Revolutionized the keeper role and his saves are immaculate. Definitely a good watch
On je iz Svedske a otac mu je iz Bosne,a mama iz Hrvatske. Kao sto je i Rakitic iz Svicarske,a roditelji mu iz Hrvatske i kao sto je Gabriela Španič iz Meksika a roditelji joj iz Hr.
When Zlatan moved to LA, Lebron sent him a basketball shirt to his house, Zlatan was not impressed so he signed it and send it back to Lebron. Lmao TRUE STORY just search on it hahahaha Zlatan legend, his savage is on another level
React to kevin de bruyne when football becomes art by ascomps . Kevin de bruyne(KDB) is arguably the best attacking midfielder in the world . Pure class and talent . Pls react to him
Maybe don't use "Z" for anything for the next few decades following the actual END of Ruzzia's invasion of Ukraine 😂 Martial arts indeed; he's a black belt of TaeKwonDo (which mostly relies on kicking techniques)..!
He actually scored some of his craziest goals in the US, but they're not in the video cause he didn't play there yet when this video was made
Zlatan is such a legend that he doesn't need to buy gas, his car runs out of respect.

People today only care about numbers and stats.
He is 41 though :')
