Zlatan: Pep was a "spineless coward"

Following Barcelona's semi-final exit in the Champions League to Mourinho's Internazionale side in 2010, Ibrahimovic spoke of how he confronted his manager in the dressing room. "I yelled: 'You haven't got any balls!' and worse than that I added: 'You can go to hell!' I completely lost it, and you might have expected Guardiola to say a few words in response, but he's a spineless coward. He just picked up the metal box, like a little caretaker, and then left, never to mention it again, not a word."

The 31-year-old, who moved to Barcelona in a deal worth £57m in 2009, had been expected to compliment the then-European champions, but revealed in an extract in the Daily Mail how he was at odds with not only Guardiola, but the club philosophy as well: "I'd already got the impression that Barcelona was a little like being back at Ajax, it was like being back at school. None of the lads acted like superstars, which was strange. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, the whole gang – they were like schoolboys. The best footballers in the world stood there with their heads bowed, and I didn't understand any of it. It was ridiculous.
quote:
"Everyone did as they were told. I didn't fit in, not at all. I thought, just enjoy the opportunity, don't confirm their prejudices. So I started to adapt and blend in. I became way too nice. It was mental. I said what I thought people wanted me to say. It was completely messed up. I drove the club's Audi and stood there and nodded my head. I hardly even yelled at my team-mates any more. I was boring. Zlatan was no longer Zlatan."

He's either trolling or is one of the more immature 31 year olds on the planet.

He's always been such a shithead. It didn't work out. He didn't fit. Move on.

However, Ibrahimovic was full of praise for the current Chelsea manager Mourinho: "That guy says whatever he wants. I like him. He's the leader of his army. But he cares, too. He would text me all the time at Inter, wondering how I was doing. He's the exact opposite of Pep Guardiola. If Mourinho lights up a room, Guardiola draws the curtains. I guessed that Guardiola was trying to match up to him. Mourinho would become a guy I was basically willing to die for."

Zlaten calling people out?
lol, this guy is a no show, in big games, more than any forward i have ever seen.
sure, he'll bag 3 vs a bottom feeder, then a no show. There were days at Juventus, where the ball boy had more touches, but his hair was pretty.

This story is pretty old, but the main story is how much influence Messi has, demanding that he plays in certain position and that Pep just caved...same thing with David Villa.
Not the only Messi story of this type with Sanchez and Thiago ones aswell.

He's like the anti-Balotelli. For every hilarious, likeable thing that Mario Balotelli does, Ibra must do or say something that makes one want to gouge their eyes out. He's just a spoiled soccer player who relishes being a "superstar" apparently.
