Nothing about Zlatan? The first thing anyone would know about Zlatan is that he is absolutely insane, completely narcissistic, and somehow, still brilliant. Why did you purchase/read this book? I am from Malmö and Zlatan got started at my hometown club. I have essentially worshiped him my entire life, and perhaps that connection is what resonated with me. I actually cried a little when he spoke about his return to Malmö/Rosengård. It was nice to see he does have some appreciation for how he is idolized by his fans, some acknowledgement. Yeah, the translation is bad, I would like to read it in Swedish instead. But this is such a unique glimpse into his mind. I absolutely loved the book and would recommend it to everyone who cares about soccer who won't be offended by his arrogance, as many of the reviewers apparently were... Review: Interesting Read... - I got this book about 12 hours ago and read and finished it in about 8 hours to the exclusion of everything else. Yes it's an interesting, compelling inside-view on the business of modern football and what it takes to be an outlier that makes it in that world. Unlike many reviewers of the book so far, I can't claim to be a Zlatan über-fan. Obviously I know well who he is being a huge fan of European football and I also know well about the drama and controversy that surrounds him. However, I chose this book because of all the hype about all the excerpts that have been re-emerging with the recent publication of this English translation (vs the sensational excerpt translations we got a couple of years ago when the book first came out). I got this book wanting an inside view of Z's Barca years as well as his controversial behavior throughout the years. What I can say is that he is who he is. Il ne regrette rien, as they say. His attitude to past misdeeds is more "yeah I could have handled that better but it's not that big a deal." As for rules, nice guys who play by the book are forgotten. In any case, like him or loathe him, you have to admire his self-belief in pulling himself up from his circumstances and believing in himself through many of his self-inflicted conflicts with authority. This book also provided a good exposé about the characters of people behind the scenes in the clubs he's played in and against as well as how dirty and underhanded the business of football is. This book is interesting and fast-paced with a narrative style that is easy and fun to read even when he's reliving football matches. Have no fear of disappointment because this also happens to read like a Disney sports movie where every difficult and controversial season is capped with a trophy. But this is the fact of this great legend's life. He's told his story unapologetically in a way that is only to be expected from Zlatan. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0241966833 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,265,580 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #266 in Soccer Biographies (Books) #785 in Soccer (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (2,925) | | Dimensions | 5.04 x 0.91 x 7.76 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9780241966839 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0241966839 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | September 24, 2013 | | Publisher | Viking | ## Images ![I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813pd4mjDxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poor translation, but the real Zlatan still shows *by A***H on October 7, 2013* For the people upset about Zlatan being pretentious/self-absorbed--do you all know NOTHING about soccer?

Well-written *by T***. on August 26, 2016* This book is fantastic. Well-written, fast-paced. You get to meet the real Zlatan, his struggles as well as his success. The English translation, however, is appalling. The translator keeps saying: "It was mental/mental Yugo..." etc. And I still am not sure if the word has a deeper meaning than crazy :) Also, what is a council-estate lad?! Such a pity this book was not translated in a fast-paced American English. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/77817727-i-am-zlatan-ibrahimovic](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/77817727-i-am-zlatan-ibrahimovic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
