Nothing about Zlatan? The first thing anyone would know about Zlatan is that he is absolutely insane, completely narcissistic, and somehow, still brilliant. Why did you purchase/read this book? I am from Malmö and Zlatan got started at my hometown club. I have essentially worshiped him my entire life, and perhaps that connection is what resonated with me. I actually cried a little when he spoke about his return to Malmö/Rosengård. It was nice to see he does have some appreciation for how he is idolized by his fans, some acknowledgement. Yeah, the translation is bad, I would like to read it in Swedish instead. But this is such a unique glimpse into his mind. I absolutely loved the book and would recommend it to everyone who cares about soccer who won't be offended by his arrogance, as many of the reviewers apparently were... Review: The book is amazing, the translation is sub-par - Four stars instead of five are given because of the translation. I originally read this book when it was translated into English by a Swedish fan who had a vast knowledge of the football world, Zlatan, and the English language. This "official" English translation is obviously written by a Brit and it loses some of the flair of how Zlatan talks (can you imagine Zlatan referring to other men as "blokes"???). The book itself is brilliant. It's one of the best autobiographies I've ever read, and a MUST-READ for every Ibrahimovic fan. It reads like Zlatan talks, but unlike most of his interviews, the book gives details about and insight into what really happened during various stages in his career. Most fascinating to me were the details of minute-by-minute negotiations during various transfers and Zlatan's opinions about his many coaches. Equally intriguing is Zlatan's descriptions of some of his key matches, best goals and dealings with National team members. Seriously, if you are an Ibrahimovic fan, you have to buy this book. If you hate Ibrahimovic, you have to buy this book. And if you care at all about football (aka: soccer), you have to buy this book. In sum, you have to buy this book. Update 10/26/13: Several people have responded to my comment, asking where they can get my translated version of the book. The translation I originally read was simply a communication from one fan to another, after I had some friends in Sweden purchase the book (they had to go to 10 different book stores to find it!) for me and bring it back to the US. I probably should never have mentioned it. I also purchased the ipad app of the book, which is, I think, the same as this "new" English-language version of the book but without the interactive features of the app. Again, I have not yet purchased this new version of the book. If I had never read my Swedish friend's translation, I would have given this book 5 stars. It truly is a brilliant read, whether or not you are a Zlatan fan or even a football fan. It's an interesting, funny and REAL look into the evolution of a modern sports hero. It's been short-listed for the William Hill sports book of the year award! I've been reading other football books lately, and if you're interested in a laugh-out-loud satire of English football, check out Terry Ravenscroft's "Football Crazy." It's absolutely hilarious! If you're an desertcart Prime member, I think you can even rent this book for free in the lender library. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0241966833 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,458,675 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #310 in Soccer Biographies (Books) #816 in Soccer (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (2,915) | | Dimensions | 5.07 x 0.89 x 7.76 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9780241966839 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0241966839 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | September 24, 2013 | | Publisher | Viking | ## Images ![I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813pd4mjDxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poor translation, but the real Zlatan still shows *by A***H on October 7, 2013* For the people upset about Zlatan being pretentious/self-absorbed--do you all know NOTHING about soccer?

Well-written *by T***. on August 26, 2016* This book is fantastic. Well-written, fast-paced. You get to meet the real Zlatan, his struggles as well as his success. The English translation, however, is appalling. The translator keeps saying: "It was mental/mental Yugo..." etc. And I still am not sure if the word has a deeper meaning than crazy :) Also, what is a council-estate lad?! Such a pity this book was not translated in a fast-paced American English. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/77817727-i-am-zlatan-ibrahimovic](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/77817727-i-am-zlatan-ibrahimovic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
