500th Goal for Zlatan Ibrahimovic
September 15th, 2018 was a special day for famous soccer player Zlatan Ibrahimovic as he scored his 500th career goal, being just the 28th player in history to do so. Known for his long-range volleys and acrobatic goals, he is considered by many to be the best Swedish player of all time. Senior Wlad Gassant says that what makes Zlatan such a fantastic player is his size, strength, and creativity. Off the field, Zlatan is still anything but regular. He is well known for his arrogant, egotistical attitude, which Wlad says is “100% justified” by his abilities as a player. Wlad’s favorite quote by Zlatan is “My wife doesn’t need a birthday present. She already has me.” This quote perfectly sums up his persona and how he acts in front of the cameras. Wlad also says that his favorite goal scored by Zlatan was his incredible 32 yard bicycle kick vs England to complete what is considered by many to be the best hat-trick of all time. Now that Zlatan is playing his club soccer in the United States, Wlad says he is open to watching the Swedish magician in person when he plays in D.C. As the 6’5’ 36 year-old is nearing the end of his magnificent career, his 500 goal milestone will certainly be one of Zlatan’s proudest achievements.
