“I do not know the lyrics to the Swedish national anthem.”
The relationship between Ibra and Swedish media is infected.
But in the new number of the magazine Gringo Grande superstar lowers his guard and talks about the fight with Kristina Kappelin, pickup lines and why he does not sing the the Swedish national anthem.
Zlatan almost never makes exclusive interviews with Swedish media, but towards award winning and praised culture and society magazine Gringo the Italian professional made an exception. Shahin Baharan, only 16 years old, got 5 minutes with the Swedish superstar that amongst other talked about his relation toward Swedish media.
“The magazine is made to sell…”
- The magazine is made to sell and they do their job, but how can I explain.., they do what they do and I do what I do, but it isn´t always that they do their job the right way and it´s not always that they keep a professional level. But I´m not depending on them, they depend on me but that is another issue.
One classic Ibra quote is “Zlatan is Zlatan”. A frase missused according to the star.
- It is something they made big, I mean, I´m just myself. Zlatan is Zlatan. It is nothing I have read, it is just… well I am just myself. Everyone should be themselves. I mean, if I say those words it comes something completely different, if someone else say the same thing it becomes nothing.
“She tried to be famous on my account”.
In may this year Ibra created headlines after an incident at a restaurant in Torino. Aftonbladet (Sweden’s biggest tabloid paper) and SVT (Sweden’s national television) reporter Kristina Kappelin felt threatened as Zlatan made a marking by driving his car in reverse against her.
Zlatan denies that he in any way would have tried to hurt her.
-Absolutely not! She tried to be famous at my behalf.
Since Ibra got to Juventus and Serie A he has gone from technical wonder child to one of the best forwards in the world.
- I’ve always liked technical skill, but you realize that making tunnels is the least important thing.
The goals are the most important , that’s what you learn playing at this level.
Zlatan is one of Sweden’s most attractive personalities all categories. Recently he was mentioned as the second most important person borne in the 80´s.
- That’s what others say that you are. How shall I explain, that will not help me in any way. I play football and am trying to become as skilled as possible. If others see you as powerful, well that´s nice to hear.
And then we have the thing with the national anthem…
Why does Zlatan chew a gum when the rest of the NT sings “Du gamla du fria” (You old, you free)?
The answer is easy.
- I’ve always chewed gum before a game. I do not sing it cause i don’t know the words and I have never thought about it.
Zlatan are now in a steady relationship with Swedish girl Helena Seger, but he reviled his best pickup lines to Gringo Grande.
- I do not pick on girls, but… “you can borrow my car”! Ha ha … No, I have no specific lines. I’m just being honest.
Zlatan gives his thought on how to succeed with the opposite sex.
- Be your self. Be honest to them and show respect toward them.

Akerman said:
I don't even know my national anthem. 
Du gamla, Du fria, Du fjällhöga nord
Du tysta, Du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar Dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna,
Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna.
2
Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar,
då ärat Ditt namn flög över jorden.
Jag vet att Du är och Du blir vad du var.
Ja, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden,
Ja, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden.
3
Jag städs vill dig tjäna mitt älskade land,
din trohet till döden vill jag svära.
Din rätt, skall jag värna, med håg och med hand,
Din fana, högt den bragderika bära,
Din fana, högt den bragderika bära.
4
Med Gud skall jag kämpa, för hem och för härd,
för Sverige, den kära fosterjorden.
Jag byter Dig ej, mot allt i en värld
Nej, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden,
Nej, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden.
Translation:
You old, you free. You mountain high Nordic.
You silent, you joyful and beautiful.
I salute you, glorious land upon earth,
Your sun, your sky, your fields of green,
Your sun, your sky, your fields of green.
You throne on memories from great days,
When your name flew over earth with glory.
I know that you are and will be what you were.
Yes, I want to live I want to die in the Nordic,
Yes, I want to live I want to die in the Nordic.
I always will serve you my loved country,
You’re pledge till death I will swear.
Your right I will protect, with pleasure and with hand,
You’re flag, high the achievement rich I carry.
You’re flag, high the achievement rich I carry.
With God I´ll fight, for home and army,
For Sweden, the beloved mother earth.
I will not trade you, for all in a world.
No, I want to live I want to die in the Nordic,
No, I want to live I want to die in the Nordic.
