Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s memoirs have become an excellent source of stories in recent days. Web site Athletic unveiled a little story told in the book “Adrenaline” when he was at Manchester United (2016-2018), and assumed a cash discount on his salary, he called it the “tiny mentality” of the English club.
But you better explain yourself.
“We went to play outside and were at the hotel. When I was thirsty, I went to the minibar and got juice. We played and then went home. After a while, the salary came – usually I don’t even open it, only at the end of the year to see what comes and what comes out. But this time, I don’t know why, I got curious. And I realized that they took a pound off my salary [ao câmbio de hoje equivale a 1,16 euros]”, Account.
Zlatan then called the club’s representative to inquire about the withdrawal and was told that the “£ -1” indication corresponds to the juice in the hotel. “Are you joking?” he asks. But the answer is simple: “Here, if you ask, you have to pay.”
“I didn’t go to the hotel of my own accord; I was not on vacation, this was my place of work. I was there in Manchester. If I have to play and I am thirsty, I have to drink. I cannot go to the dehydrated camp. (…) This will never happen in Italy, ”he said.
“Everyone thinks United is the best club, one of the richest and most influential in the world. From the outside it looked like this. But inside I found a narrow mentality, ”he concluded.
