"The Swede signed for Liverpool! This is the eighth wealthy club that Ibrahimovic has transferred to. Will this be the end of his career? Maybe he had already thought about his next club when he signed!" - Guardian
newspaper
"Frequent transfers have earned this Swede too much infamy, but you have to admit that he is one of the best forwards in football today! Because Ibrahimovic is equal to the champion!" - The Times.
"Bad habits die hard, he betrayed Manchester United and betrayed the trust of Manchester United fans!" - Manchester City Evening News
…
On July 25, Liverpool officially announced that Ibrahimovic has joined Liverpool.
The rumor finally became a reality, which immediately excited countless media.
Most of the media openly and covertly ridiculed Ibrahimovic.
Only The Times was more fair, putting aside the issue of Ibrahimovic's personal ethics and only focusing on the countless championships he has brought to various clubs over the years.
Manchester United fans were extremely angry.
They felt that Ibrahimovic had betrayed Manchester United and directly ignored the fact that Ibrahimovic's contract with Manchester United had ended at the end of the season.
They didn't care whether Ibrahimovic was free or not, they angrily ran to Ibrahimovic's Instagram and yelled curses.
At noon that day, Liverpool prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Ibrahimovic.
After meeting with Red Army fans at Anfield, Ibrahimovic and Edwards came to the press conference.
"Zlatan, you are 36 years old this year. Do you think that with your own body and competitive state, you are still qualified to be Liverpool's main striker?"
Facing the reporters' extremely sharp questions, Ibrahimovic, who was wearing Liverpool's No. 95 jersey, stood up from his seat, leaned over and supported the table with his hands, looked down from a high position, and said: "Zlatan! Never accept questions!"
"Next!"
Ibrahimovic's extremely domineering words choked the Scottish reporter half to death.
"Zlatan, may I ask why you chose this number? Does it have any special meaning to you?"
Hearing this question, Ibrahimovic suddenly smiled knowingly and said frankly: "I met Yang when I went to the Melwood training base this morning. I asked for his opinion and he told me that I could choose No. 95 because this number is in China.
The ancient symbol of the emperor."
"Jiuwu Supreme!"
At the end of his words, Ibrahimovic said a half-baked Chinese sentence, which made the English reporter look confused.
Wei Bowen and other Chinese reporters smiled.
They thought Mo Yang's suggestion was very suitable. Ibrahimovic has always been praised by fans all over the world.
There seems to be nothing wrong with the Nine-Five Supreme.
Chinese fans are very familiar with Ibrahimovic. Among the famous people are Lu Bu and the horse Red Rabbit. Who doesn't know Fengxian!
Ibrahimovic has many fans in China.
In the eyes of Chinese fans, he is straightforward, vengeful and arrogant. He is not afraid of Messi and ignores Ronaldo. He works alone and is domineering. He has superb skills and has his own system, but he also wanders around the world all his life.
Ups and downs.
He is the embodiment of art and violence! He is also the combination of angel and devil!
Shen Feng, Shen Tan, Feng Xian, Great Feng Xian, no matter how many titles you use, it is difficult to summarize all the characteristics of Ibrahimovic, and it is difficult to describe his power and magic on the court.
It's a pity that Ibrahimovic was born at the wrong time and was born in this era when Melo is competing.
Otherwise, this man will have another more glorious life, and his influence will be redefined.
…
At 7 a.m. on July 26, Ibrahimovic drove to the Melwood training base.
After parking the car, he was about to go to the locker room to change clothes, but suddenly he realized that there was someone earlier than him.
After watching for a while, Ibrahimovic realized it was Mo Yang and immediately smiled knowingly.
Before signing for Liverpool, he often saw English media praising the Chinese midfielder's self-discipline in newspapers.
Looking at it now, I didn’t expect that the media didn’t exaggerate at all.
He likes self-disciplined players and even more talented and hard-working players.
After watching in silence for a while, Ibrahimovic went to the locker room and changed into training clothes.
"Hey, catch the ball!"
Ibrahimovic walked to the sidelines and happened to see a ball rolling over. He shouted to Mo Yang, and then he kicked the ball towards Mo Yang with a strong force from his feet.
Mo Yang was startled by Ibrahimovic's shout, turned around and saw a ball speeding towards him.
Determining the landing point and height of the ball, Mo Yang directly raised his leg and used a side kick similar to that in Taekwondo. He gently kicked it off with the instep of his left foot. The ball seemed to be stuck under his feet and went straight to the ground.
Fall.
"hiss!"
Ibrahimovic was shocked when he saw Mo Yang's difficult stop of the ball.
He actually missed the kick, but he never expected that Mo Yang could stop it easily.
This kind of stoppage may test the player's basic skills and ball feel.
But why does the style of stopping the ball look familiar to him?
"Morning! Zlatan!" Mo Yang waved to Ibrahimovic.
"You come so early every day?" Ibrahimovic came to Mo Yang and started to warm up.
"Yes! Every morning at 6 o'clock!"
Mo Yang squared the ball, made a full run and shot the ball into the goal.
When he saw the ball hit the side netting and the entire doorframe was shaking, Ibrahimovic, who was stretching, almost jumped out of fright.
He didn't expect that Mo Yang's feet, which looked a bit thin, would be so explosive.
Now he believes that Mo Yang's shocking free kick in the Europa League final was not a mistake.
That kind of magic ball is really the result of a combination of luck and strength.
Next, the two of them chatted while training, and the more they chatted, the more they became more in tune with each other.
Through chatting, Mo Yang also learned what kind of passing Ibrahimovic liked, and he also had a preliminary understanding of Ibrahimovic's character.
The Ibrahimovic in front of me seems to be very different from the Ibrahimovic described in the media.
Words and actions can reflect a person's character.
From yesterday's meeting to now, Ibrahimovic's feelings for Mo Yang can be summed up in four words.
'Straight! Real!'
This guy is arrogant, but he seems to be stubborn. He says and does whatever he thinks, which makes Mo Yang feel very real.
Knowing that Ibrahimovic was coming, Mo Yang was really worried that this guy would become a locker room bomb.
After all, this guy has been in so many clubs, and few teammates say good things about him, which shows how poor his interpersonal relationships are.
But putting aside those true and false personal ethics issues, purely from a technical point of view, Mo Yang feels that Ibrahimovic is the most comprehensive striker he has encountered so far.
He is tall and strong, but he has a pair of feet that can do embroidery, and he is very slippery in doing tricks.
At 8 o'clock, Firmino Salah and others came to the training ground after changing clothes.
Seeing Mo Yang and Ibrahimovic training together and talking about something while laughing, everyone suddenly looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
In the eyes of Liverpool players, Mo Yang and Ibrahimovic have completely different personalities. They never expected that these two people could chat so happily.
"Damn it! These two people can actually talk together!" Lovren looked ridiculous.
He had played against Ibrahimovic in Ligue 1, and he knew very well how proud the Swede was. Thinking about that kick even hurts him now.
As for whether Ibrahimovic stepped on his head intentionally, there was no conclusion after the game. Only Ibrahimovic himself knows.
But Lovren vaguely felt that the Swede really didn't mean it, because in the eyes of Ibrahimovic on the court, there is only the ball!
