FIFA World Cup without me, not worth watching ―Ibrahimovic

Former Sweden captain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said the FIFA World Cup without him is not worth watching saying Brazil can claim their sixth World Cup trophy in Russia.

Speaking with FIFA website, former Manchester United star said he will not miss any action in the mudial promised that he would be at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia.

He said “It was clear that I was not going to be in the national team playing, but like I said four years ago and I say it again now: the FIFA World Cup without me is not worth watching! I really mean that. But it is now possible that I will be present anyway, and I will enjoy the World Cup from close up. So as a partner with Visa, I am happy for that. We will be there, and we will take over.

“It is I just want to be there, see it live or see it on TV and enjoy. I would not miss it.

“I pick the Visa team because we are the biggest favourite to win, and then I will give you other teams that have a possibility to win: I think Brazil, Spain, Germany, obviously Sweden. Argentina also, even if they don’t want to speak about themselves as favourites: they are. I am sorry the US is not in the World Cup because that’s my new country where I live, and I would support them also.

“No no, never, no no. I mean, I’m excited, not nervous. I’m more hungry to get on the field and help Sweden win – this is how I think,” LA Galaxy forward said.

Ibra played 116 times for the Sweden national team in a 15-year and scored 62 goals.
