Live it February 12th, 2001-2004, Ibrahimovic played for Ajax, this is the first stop of his wandering career after leaving Sweden. In 3 years, he played 110 games for Ajax, contributing 48 goals and 15 assists. Ibrahimovic’s friend Joey Didulica, who played for Ajax, accepted an interview with Ruetir and talked about his friendship with Ibrahimovic and some anecdotes about Ibrahimovic.
Joey, did Ibrahimovic be so selfish when he was young, or a little conceited as some of his opponents said?
"Arrogance refers to those who are who only speak , and he can always use actions and facts to practice what he says, so he is called self-esteem, not arrogance. He is A person with a double-faced personality, if you are his friend, when you are alone with him, he is completely different from the one he knows from the outside world. At this time, if other people intervene, the so-called'Zlatan Show' It’s about to begin. As his friend, I have to say that Ibrahimovic is a great person, easy to get along with, and generous. But few people can understand this side of him because he is not so approachable to everyone."
When Ibrahimovic was at Ajax, not many people knew him, and now he is a football legend, is it even more impossible for people to really know him?
"Yes, you have to be a close friend in his small circle to really understand him. I am honored to be teammates with him in Ajax. We are all from the Balkans. I was born in Australia and my parents are Croatian. ; His father is Bosnian and his mother is Croatian. We get along very well and are very good friends."
So are you one of his friends off the court?
"Of course, we always had dinner together at that time, and we also attended several family gatherings.We are very happy on and off the stadium, enjoying life in Amsterdam. Both of us were not famous back then, and there were not as many paparazzi as there are now. I still remember the time I was at McDonald’s with Ibrahimovic..."
Can you tell us about this anecdote?
"It was one day in 2002, I drove Ibrahimovic to McDonald’s, he Calling in the car to order: "I want two Big Macs..." After we arrived, the person (staff) came over with two big bags of burgers. I asked if Ibrahimovic had paid for it. The staff went straight away. Ibrahimovic said to me: ‘Joy, did you see that, I’m Zlatan, Zlatan doesn’t need to pay for McDonald’s. ’_Strong6strong Then we both burst into laughter, but he didn’t tell me that he knew that person! _P1p "I saw that person at another player's house a week later. Ibrahimovic sent a postcard to invite him. Ibu knows him but pretends not to know him, just to make it as if Zlatan is the king of Amsterdam, so there is no need to pay for McDonald's, hahaha! ”_P1p (Jacky)
