With 143 caps between 1981 and 1997, the former goalkeeper Thomas Ravelli, 53, is one of the most respected figures of Swedish football. For him, Ibrahimovic "symbolizes the success of multiculturalism."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is he the best player in the history of Swedish football?
Before him, there were guys like Ralf Edström in the years 1970-1980 and Tomas Brolin, ten years later, which were also very strong.
But this is the best of his generation. It amazes me with him is that he won titles in all the clubs where he goes. Normally a striker of his type level is selfish. Zlatan, he makes his teammates better. This is a complete player, good head and feet with great skill. It's tough as a great and flexible as a small.
Do you know?
I met him sometimes. Young, he often listened to his anger. Today, with age, he has matured and wisdom. It is not necessary that the French are afraid of him. Or just the defenders of your league! (Laughter.) This is a guy who has a good background.
He dreams of winning the Champions League. He made the right decision by signing PSG?
Zlatan is not stupid. He knows that the Champions League will necessarily one who has economic power. And here, the PSG is probably the strongest with Manchester City. And do not tell me he is overpaid. Zlatan is also a company that pays a lot of publicity. She is a star and stars are always very well paid.
Sweden is proud of him?
We are all proud of Zlatan because it symbolizes the success of multiculturalism. It does not have a name but it is a Swedish Swedish as others. Zidane is like you. Behind football, there is a beautiful story of successful integration.

I think both I and Zlatan should stick around.
