The decisive years of the Swedish soccer star who plays forward for the Paris Saint-Germain, from his debut in Malmö to his conflicts in Ajax and his time in Juventus.
Zlatan Ibrahimović surprise us once again, this time as the object of a documentary with a precise narrative and goal: portraying the story of how a teenager from Malmö, Sweden, jumped to the finest teams in Europe and became a global star, including his early days, his transfer, and his career at the Ajax. Troubled years: the hard time adapting, his trust, his arrogance, his famous conflictive nature. And his unique soccer talent, which is hard to believe in a player his size. Each stage presented in this documentary –calling it attractive would be a gross understatement– is documented with plenty of archive material (which even includes Zlatan as a teenager, playing Play Station while his girlfriend puts up a face), interviews with the defense players who clashed against this forward, and of course, amazing plays and goals on a big screen.
