The ageless Swede would have won eight Ballon d’Or awards had it been the fans who made the decision, according to his agent.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent insists the striker has ‘the talent of Lionel Messi’ and the ‘the willpower of Cristiano Ronaldo’, and that he ranks above them both in terms of ability.
Having played for the likes of Ajax, Juventus, FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United, won over 30 major trophies, and scored nearly half-century of goals, the AC Milan talisman boasts one of the most sparkling resumes in club football.
Golden Foot, FIFA Puskas Award, Serie A Footballer of the Year (x3), Serie A Most Loved Player, Ligue 1 Player of the Year (x3), LA Galaxy Player of the Year, Swedish Forward of the Year (15) – this provides just a glimpse of the plethora of individual honors he has earned over the years.
39-year-old Ibrahimovic is showing no signs of slowing down, having scored an impressive 11 goals in 10 games this season while being the mainstay in his side’s Scudetto charge.
And according to Mino Raiola, who admits to being a Ronaldo fan, his client has earned the right to be called ‘most complete player ever in the history of football.’
“I immediately say that between Cristiano Ronaldo, of whom I’m a big fan, and Messi, I’ll always pick the Portuguese,” Raiola declared in an exclusive interview with Tuttosport.
“Zlatan, on the other hand, is from another planet in his own right. He is the most complete player ever in the history of football.
“He has the talent of Messi and the willpower of CR7. If the Ballon d’Or had been voted for by the public, I know he would have won eight.”
