If you haven’t read the autobiography of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, you should! Even if you are not into reading books normally, this one could be the exception you were looking for. It’s a very inspiring book – one that makes you think, one that may change your view on life.
In summary, Zlatan tells us plenty of stories, mentioning all turning points of his life and career, starting with his childhood, finishing at the present day (when the book was published).
Zlatan’s football career proves that coming from a poor neighbourhood doesn’t prevent you from becoming the Number One at what you do, if you keep working hard every single day of your life.
Obviously, circumstances and luck are also an important part of every success story, but focusing on your own professional development and training hard is what makes an above-the-average football player.
