After having interviewed Luis Rubiales in a controversial conversation, the journalist Piers Morgan has sat down with one of the most charismatic forwards in recent years, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Although the details of the dialogue will not be public until October 5, when the piece is broadcast on Talk TV, Yes, a small extract has emerged that has not taken long to go viral.
At 42 years old and now definitively retired from professional football, the Swede did his thing by flatly denying that football could be compared to sex. “When you score a goal, is it better than sex?” the interviewer asked him. “Sex is much better than football. Anyone who thinks differently has a problem with sex and should seek help. When I say I’m God, do you think I’m joking? I’m not doing”, he stated emphatically.
A statement with which Lineker does not agree at all. The legendary British scorer, who scored 191 goals in his career – more than 300 less than Zlatan – answered the same question in 2020 on the podcast Match of the Day. “I think we all totally agree that scoring a goal is much better. Everyone can have sex, but not everyone can score an important goal in an important match.”, he said about it.
No pre-party sex
This is not the first time that Ibrahimovic has spoken publicly about his sexual life linked to his professional career. During his time at Manchester United, when José Mourinho was his coach for the second time in his career.publicly acknowledged that the key to his performance was not having sex before games.
“There are a few footballers who say they have a lot of sex to achieve better results. I have tried, but for me, anger is the best force. I notice it again and again. If I’m angry about something or someone, then I’m really good.“, he revealed at that time in statements collected by The Mirror.
