Zlatan Shuts Down Hater Journalist

This is a public service announcement for journalists covering press conferences in which Zlatan Ibrahimovic happens to be speaking, especially journalists whom Zlatan Ibrahimovic doesn't particularly like: maybe don't ask Zlatan questions that will make him turn into a fire-breathing Swedish monster, throwing insults around like he's at the roast of Donald Trump or something.

Actually, wait. Scratch that. Keep asking Zlatan provocative questions, because watching him go nuts on some poor reporter is quite entertaining for the rest of us (provided said reporter has the requisite thick skin, which shouldn't be a problem because if said reporter didn't have the requisite thick skin, he or she wouldn't be a reporter). 

This time, the reporter was Olof Lundh, and he and Zlatan have had dealings before. Olaf asked Zlatan about some of his business interests, and Zlatan ethered him for about 45 seconds. 

In the same press conference he gave one of our favorite Zlatan quotes of all time (sadly not in the video), concerning his eventual retirement: “You’ll know when I stop. The whole world will know. It will be news.”

*Zlatan mic drop.*
