Video: Zlatan Ibrahimovic reunites with superfans as he wins Swedish Footballer of the Year
How would you react if Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic stood right in front of you? Obviously, the appropriate reaction would be to stand in sheer awe of the living legend - the greatest football player to have ever conquered the European continent.
The iconic striker has won numerous titles in Spain, France, Italy and Netherlands – domestic cups, multiple Golden Boot awards and of course, a Puskas Award. No wonder he’s an object of admiration to many of his fans.
The reaction of two young mascots was priceless when the Swedish hero stood in front of their eyes earlier this year. Some of us may be familiar with young Melwin and Frank, who were left startled and understandably so when they got up close and personal with the Sweden captain before the side’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Montenegro back in June.
Last week, Zlatan was crowned Swedish Footballer of the Year for the tenth time and nine times in a row. During the ceremony, the boys were reunited with the Swedish icon on stage and were asked to give him some advice ahead of Sweden’s Euro-play off against Denmark.
The boys didn’t shy off and made their reliance on the national hero known by providing their greatest words of wisdom – “Do not blow this”. Zlatan reacts to it in a light-hearted way and the face he pulls in response is priceless as well.
Hopefully, the boss has noted down the instructions given to him by the lads and inspire his side against Denmark in the coming days. Only the Danes stand between them and next year’s tournament in France. However, with Zlatan on their side, they can back themselves to come out on top, only, the other side have Lord Nicklas Bendtner.
