Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Before
Zlatan Ibrahimovic grew up in a poor neighborhood in Malmö, Sweden. His Bosnian father and Croatian mother weren’t happy with their two-year-long marriage, which brought Zlatan into the world. When he turned two, his parents’ nonstop bickering ultimately resulted in a divorce and Zlatan growing up in a broken home.
It took the young Zlatan a while to get used to living without his father at home, though he remained a huge part of his life. He once shared a story where his father purchased him a new bed from IKEA but couldn’t afford to pay the delivery fee, so the two of them carried it several miles home.
