Zlatan’s time with PSG is at an end.
PSG play Nantes on Saturday night in what will be Ibrahimovic’s final appearance before the Parc des Princes faithful.His last appearance for PSG will be in the final of the Coupe de France against Marseille at the Stade de France on 21 May.
And then he heads off somewhere else.Some say Manchester United,some say LA Galaxy,some say AC Milan..
So,though it’s a bit unlikely,maybe this song from Madonna’s Evita could sum up the thoughts running through his head.
I don’t expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it, wouldn’t you?
So what happens now?
(Another suitcase in another hall)
So what happens now?
(Take your picture off another wall)
Where am I going to?
(You’ll get by, you always have before)
Where am I going to?
Time and time again I’ve said that I don’t care
That I’m immune to gloom, that I’m hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me and they do
For the record,the latest terribly tough guy “Zlatanism” for the press is ..
“My last game tomorrow at Parc des Princes. I came like a king, left like a legend.”
And some of his more memorable ones from the past are
“It’s true I don’t know that much about Ligue 1, but Ligue 1 knows who I am.” (July 2012)
“We are looking for an apartment. But if we don’t find anything, then I’ll probably buy the hotel.” (September 2012)
“The fans are very demanding. Which is strange in view of what they had in the past. Before they had nothing.” (March 2013)
“I don’t need a scary nickname. You just have to watch me to feel scared” (August 2013)
“One thing is for sure, a World Cup without me is nothing to watch” (November 2013)
“With a hat trick there is no better way to start 2014. The standing ovation? It was easy because there were only 500 people in the stands, but yes, I’m happy.” (January 2014)
“Finishing second is like being last.” (December 2014)
“In 15 years I have never seen a worse referee. This shit country. This country does not deserve PSG.” (March 2015)
“I have put Sweden on the world map and now I have put France on the world map too.” (November 2015)
Ah well,time for one more legend to exit stage left.
Cue applause.
For Zlatan we had better made that a standing ovation – (for our own safety..!!)
