کتاب I Am Zlatan Ibrahimović زندگی‌نامه‌ای صریح و پرماجرا از زلاتان ابراهیموویچ، یکی از چهره‌های شناخته‌شده فوتبال جهان است که داستان صعود او از محله مهاجرنشین روسنگورد در شهر مالمو سوئد تا بزرگ‌ترین باشگاه‌های اروپا را روایت می‌کند. زلاتان در خانواده‌ای مهاجر و در شرایطی دشوار بزرگ شد؛ محیطی که به او آموخت برای رسیدن به خواسته‌هایش به خودش تکیه کند و در برابر موانع عقب‌نشینی نکند.
او در این کتاب از روزهای کودکی، علاقه شدیدش به فوتبال، تمرین‌های طاقت‌فرسا و مسیر پرچالش پیشرفت خود می‌گوید؛ مسیری که او را از مالمو به آژاکس، یوونتوس، اینترمیلان، بارسلونا، میلان و پاری‌سن‌ژرمن رساند. در کنار موفقیت‌های ورزشی، ابراهیموویچ درباره اختلاف‌هایش با مربیان سرشناس، از جمله پپ گواردیولا، رقابت‌های درون تیمی، روابط شخصی و تصمیم‌هایی که مسیر حرفه‌ای‌اش را تغییر دادند، نیز صحبت می‌کند.
با همکاری نویسنده و روزنامه‌نگار داوید لاگرکرانتس، روایت زلاتان با لحنی بی‌پرده، شوخ‌طبعانه و گاه جنجالی شکل می‌گیرد. این کتاب فقط داستان گل‌ها و قهرمانی‌ها نیست؛ روایتی از جاه‌طلبی، خودباوری و تلاش برای ساختن هویتی مستقل در دنیایی رقابتی است.
Daring, flashy, innovative, volatile—no matter what they call him, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of soccer’s brightest stars. A top-scoring striker and captain of the Swedish national team, he has dominated the world’s most storied teams, including Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain. But his life wasn’t always so charmed.
Born to Balkan immigrants who divorced when he was a toddler, Zlatan learned self-reliance from his rough-and-tumble neighborhood. While his father, a Bosnian Muslim, drank to forget the war back home, his mother’s household was engulfed in chaos. Soccer was Zlatan’s release. Mixing in street moves and trick plays, Zlatan was a wild talent who rode to practice on stolen bikes and relished showing up the rich kids—opponents and teammates alike. Goal by astonishing goal, the brash young outsider grew into an unlikely prodigy and, by his early twenties, an international phenomenon.
Told as only the man himself could tell it, featuring stories of friendships and feuds with the biggest names in the sport, I Am Zlatan is a wrenching, uproarious, and ultimately redemptive tale for underdogs everywhere.
Praise for I Am Zlatan
“Terrific . . . Far more insightful than your typical jock memoir, Ibra’s book tells his story of growing up as the son of immigrants in Sweden and pulls no punches when it comes to his opinions of some of the biggest names in the game.”—Sports Illustrated
“The most compelling autobiography ever to appear under a footballer’s name.”—The Guardian
“The story of Zlatan—from his days as an immigrant kid juggling a soccer ball so he won’t get bullied to his emergence as the genius player who scored the greatest goal ever—is as compelling and fancy-footed as his game.”—Aleksandar Hemon, National Book Award finalist and author of The Lazarus Project
“I love this book. I love it because it’s so much bigger than soccer. I Am Zlatan is a story of hope and grit and what an immigrant kid who comes from nothing can accomplish with hard work and belief in himself. It’s also a beautiful window into our new, more open, more diverse world.”—Marcus Samuelsson, bestselling author of Yes, Chef
“Probably the bestselling European immigrant’s tale since Zadie Smith’s White Teeth . . . Once you get past the obligatory snigger prompted by the phrase ‘footballer’s autobiography,’ you can see that Zlatan’s book strangely resembles an earlier immigrant’s tale: Portnoy’s Complaint.”—Financial Times
“He is skillful. He is outspoken. He is Zlatan.”—The New York Times
“The best sports autobiography in years.”—PolicyMic
