5 players who can Dare to Zlatan
Fire doesn’t faze the ZlatanThere are certain individuals who transform the definition of a profession, the same does apply to the sport of football also. The adage of ‘no player is bigger than a club’ does not hold true for one man, well he is more than a man, he is the Zlatan.Zlatan Ibrahimovic isn’t just your regular footballer, not only does he score some brilliant goals, he is outspoken and has no fear in this realm. ‘Dare to Zlatan’ was more than a promotion for a product line, it actually embodied what Zlatan actually is all about. Doing things which are impossible but also having the swagger of never backing down from a challenge.From scoring impossible goals to taking on referees in a language they don’t understand, Zlatan might be the most entertaining footballer out there. Messi and Ronaldo might be scoring the goals but for being Zlatan, we doff our hats to the Swedish international.He isn’t the only one who defies logic, there are a few stars out there who are larger than life, both on the pitch and off it. Here are five players who could ‘Dare to Zlatan’ and probably come out on top:
#5 Marko Arnautovic
The Stoke City forward certainly has been in the news for the right reasons recently. the Austrian however, was not known for his abilities on the pitch but rather for the things he did off it.
Arnautovic had played under Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan and the Portuguese manager wasn’t pleased with the antics of the forward. Mourinho had said that Arnautovic acted like a child during his time at the San Siro.
Marko was also known for his party lifestyle in Milan and the Austrian media even labelled him as "enfant terrible". He does have a chequered history though, he was sent off against Sweden in a friendly when he clashed with Johan Elmander. He even tore a ligament in his knee when he was playing with his dog.
A punch-up with his teammate Sokratis Papasthathopoulos was pretty awful but the icing on the cake has to be when his car got stolen while he was at a restaurant, well the car was loaned to him by then teammate Samuel Eto’o, it was a Bentley.
Oh and he is best friends with Mario Balotelli as well, he certainly can ‘Dare to Zlatan’ if he pleases to.
