I will start then and my story will be as dramatic and special as you are used to hearing concernig to me ;D . So maybe you need time for reading this . First I have to admit that I am a real sports fan and I like to see a lot . (Am not that talented to do all I like by myself ) But football was a mystery to me above all in Germany becuz I always disliked our league and I really couldn´t understand what people love about that . I found it boring , the way our great clubs like Bayern München played . Last year in june then I was in stress of my a-level and I wanted to come down a lil and to just try to relax . I decided to watch tv . I followed the press about the Euro 2004 and I thought : Okay , if there is nothing else to watch I will watch football . It was the opening match Greece against Portugal and I recognized that the Portugese played a different style of football and I really enjoyed it ! I was like cool . I asked my uncle whether there would be a team of the North in the Euro . (That´s a totally normal question for my family because I love Norway-Sweden-above all Finland ) My uncle said : Yes , Sweden will play . And he showed me the plan when they would have their matches . I decided to support Sweden , as always . If it´s not Finalnd then Sweden . So I made a plan for me becuz I wanted to see Portugal (of course , I had seen their cool style and Cristiano Ronaldo ;D , Figo ect) , Italy (what news for you ) and Sweden . It was then the 14th of June , you all know the date , when I was looking forward to the match Sweden : Bulgaria . Before the match the commentors were talking about the teams .They talked about Larsson coming back to the national team and that there was this young crazy forward with them . A lil arrogant and a big mouth he should have but amazing talented and I thought let´s see what he shows that Mr.Perfect . Tv was showing their warming up and I saw the Swedish team and I did a lil game with myself : Reading and practising the pronounciation of Germanic (Swedish) names (becuz Swedish names are so good to recognize , they have all the same structure) . And I read on the backs : Wilhemsson , Erikson , Edman , Källström , Ibrahimovic , Larsson , Mellberg . . And then : What ? .. . IBRAHIMOVIC ? That´s not really Swedish . And then the commentors talked "that´s him blabla see what he creates today on the field blabla are very exited blabla Zlatan Ibrahimovic blabla Malmö and Ajax blabla" and I was perplex because of his name : Zlatan ? WTH and then they said it means THE GOLDEN ONE and that he is very proud to this meaning and so on and the cameras showed a close up of his face and I looked in his eyes --> and my thought was --> It´s like burning flames there in these eyes . ;D And I was exited to see him playing , And while the match he was playing and I thought the thoughts of all thoughts : HE LOOKS LIKE A TIGER And that was the beginning of my nickname for him . I compared him to my own wild behaviour and saw him as equal that´s why he is the only one that gets the privilege of being called a tiger . I loved his way of playing , this fast and graceful manner . I was a lil obsessed , I had to see him again . I saw him against Italy and the famous goal , I cried in the match against the Netherlands about Sweden losing and I knew this was the beginning of a special part of my life . Later I checked websites and got more and more into detail and then I followed the new season with Juve and I remember seeing him in the first match --> Juve : Ajax . He was tall , he had his wonderful longer hair , he was tanned and he played like a lil God . I was sure that he got me ;D and I followed a long time what was happening on the old board before I decided to register and become one of us . This is my story . This is how Zlatan became a and how he caught me .

fabulous story Yve, you know mine already, but I shall tell it again. it's quite weird and not done... don't know how it came, but it was there... still didn't have found the reasons... Yve, some things in it I haven't told you, but this is more in details my story as follows: I was never really interested in football (thanks to my parents who hates it so I never grow up with it, I reconized it myself ) untill euro 2004. even though I wasn't interested in football, Ajax was my favorite club. of course I knew the name zlatan ibrahimovic, because in primary school, ppl talked about him and stuff, and of course many more footballplayers, but he's the only one I remembered (how's that possible ) and ppl had his photo in their case and stuff. and that boy sat nearby me in the class I went to secondary school and there was another boy from our place, who was also zlatan fan (but not really obsessed or smth, and not like us I think) anyway, netherlands-sweden came, and a friend of mine said, I'm for sweden because zlatan ibrahimovic is playing there. that's what I understood. Later it turned out that she said that she was for sweden (not true) because she was always for the losing team ( :S ) weird girl... like you all know it wasn't a game to forget. he hit Rafeal van der Vaart and stuff. anyway, I sat there like it's his teammate, it's his teammate!!! then I (I know I'm mean ) I began to laugh. but when he gave an elbow to Gio van Bronckhorst I wasn't laughing. That was just mean. and with the penalties, I really sat there like NOOO, NOT HIM, NOT HIM, NOT ZLATAN!!!with my nails pushed into my cheeks. and then he shoot over. It was going crazy here behind the TV. okey, I told you my parents hate football, but this was something they wanted to see haha. anyway, he was already in my head and then at the end of octobre, it came into my brains and never lost it and all my friend has known it, right lizette?? anyway, it came very sudden and I still don't know why it came in my brains in octobre/novembre and not directly after euro... anyway, I'm happy it's here that's my story ;D

Then, Olga said me i can put my story in Italian...She 'll translate it, so..... Io sono sempre stata una tifosa della Juve, ma ho cominciato ad interessarmi a Zlatan solo a Febbraio di quest'anno....Lo avevo già visto nella famosa partita contro l'Italia, ad Euro 2004, quando lui segnò quel terribile colpo di tacco che ci condannò all'eliminazione. Ma non avevo mai avuto alcun interesse per lui, se non una grande ammirazione per quel gol fantastico... In realtà mio marito è sempre stato un gran fan di Zlatan ed era talmente felice che la Juve lo avesse acquistato che non faceva altro che parlare di lui e fargli moltissimi complimenti.Io non lo avevo mai notato fino ad un giorno, durante una partita del campionato italiano, a febbraio, che però non ricordo contro quale squadra fosse; le telecamere inquadrano Zlatan da vicino, proprio mentre io svogliatamente guardavo il televisore, e vedo questi occhi pieni di grinta, di furore e di rabbia e chiedo a mio marito qualche spiegazione. Lui mi racconta del modo di giocare che ha questo calciatore, così forte e determinato, della sua voglia di essere il migliore e del carattere molto esuberante che ha. Quello per me non era un bel periodo, io avevo avuto un aborto ed ero molto triste, ma ho visto una grinta negli occhi di quel ragazzo che mi ha dato un gran conforto e la voglia di reagire alla mia disperazione. Così, appena finita la partita, ho spento la tv e ho acceso il pc, cercando tutto quello che potevo su Zlatan Ibrahimovic. E più trovavo materiale, più mi convincevo che quel ragazzo aveva qualcosa di speciale, la forza di affrontare il mondo senza averne la minima paura.... quello di cui avevo bisogno anch'io... E' così che Zlatan mi ha aiutato ad uscire da uno dei più brutti periodi della mia vita.E' per questo che lo adoro e che lo ammiro. Poi il fatto che per me sia un bellissimo ragazzo di sicuro non è da sottovalutare. Ma è per quello che dice e il modo in cui lo dice che io lo approvo.Ed è per questo che adesso è tatuato su di me....in modo che io non dimentichi mai quella forza e quella voglia di reagire.... That's all...I hope it isn't tooo difficult to translate... Thank you

TRANSLATION:I've always been a Juve fan, but I began to interest only in Zlatan in February of this year.... I've already seen him in the famous game against Italy, in Euro 2004, when he scored that terrible back-foot shoot what sentenced us to elimination. But I had never had some interest for him, if not a great admiration for that fantastic goal... Actually my husband has always been a big Zlatan fan and he was so happy that Juve had acquired Zlatan, he didn't do anything else other than to speak of him and to make to him a lot of compliments. I had never noticed him till one day, during a game of the Italian championship, in February, however don't remember against what square he played; the television cameras showed Zlatan closely, I looked at the tv very unwillingly , and I saw these eyes full of dismay, of fury and of anger and I asked my husband for some explanation. He told me some way of playing that it's a REAL soccer player, so strongly and determined, of his desire to be the best and of the very exuberant character he has. It wasn't a good period of my life, I had an abortion and I was very sad, but I've seen a grim eyes of that boy, he has given to me a big comfort and desire to react to my desperation. This way ended the game, I turned off the tv and turned on the pc to find anything about Zlatan Ibrahimovic. And then I found some facts, and I was convinced that this boy has something special, the strength to face the world without a fear.... and I needed it as well... This way Zlatan has helped me to get through one of the ugliest periods of my life. That's why I adore and admire him. In fact this beautiful boy is underestimated.... It's cause of the way and what he says that I approve him. And and for this I made a tattoo.... so I will never forget that strength and that desire to react....Guys, I'm sorry if I was mistaken.... I tried to translate it as soon as it possible Alessandra, you can correct my translation I hope I helped you to express ur feelings.... Very emotional story... You're a brave girl.

My story is short and simple. I saw him 2 years ago during some international competition, and since I play fotball myself, I immediately recognized his skills and dribbling technique. From there and on I started to follow his game.

Well I am going to tell my true story about going crazy about Zlatan I started liking football since 2002 World Cup I remember I supported Italy ;D , the Netherlands and Germany but after the 2002 WC I wasn't very in-touch with football because in Lithuania it is not popular..as I have said many times...our national league is quite weak...players not known ... (although I know one italian guy who knows Stankevicius...I am pleased ;D) Anyway...I kept my passion for football in my heart and waited for TV's to show the matches... Euro 2004 was like a festival to me ;D ;D ;D I was waiting for it soooo long..I watched almost every game and of couse saw that Sweden - Bulgaria match..But then I didn't become a Zlatan-fan..He scored a goal but didn't catch me ...maybe Larsson put him into the shade Later I watched the famous Italy - Sweden match and I was supporting Italy of course, but swedes were very interesting too cause they were showing great results if you remember .. So I was watching very carefully and heard that "Ibrahimovic" more and more.."Ibrahimovic?..ZLATAN Ibrahimovic in swedish team??!" I got quite interested who is that famous Ibrahimovic, highly talented and hot-tempered guy...and then I saw THAT goal!!! I can't describe how I felt then...Anger, despair, amazement ..admiration - all in one...This "blablamovic"dared to score against Italy...but what a goal!!!!!What a goal!!!!!! I looked at this guy and thought :" He should be special.."... ..Then there was a Sweden - Netherlands match...I have to say that I already was a huuge Sweden fan... ;D The game that they showed in all matches really attracted me This match was dramatic to me..I couldn't sit calmly so I stood..actually I was moving around my room, stomping and arguing (well, that's me ) Undesignedly, gingerly I looked for the big guy in the field...He was rising in my eyes..... That one single goal was like a lightening to me, it ???rocked me ! ... That minute Zlatan walked to kick the penalty was the tip of my feelings that day - culmination. I saw the close - up and suddenly I infatuated Zlatan His look enchained me ....and then he missed. I couldn't believe.. After some days I searched for the info in the internet.Some guys in one forum or smth were saying that Zlatan is rubbish because it was his fault the Sweden lost Sometimes I write silly stuff - you know that - but sometimes I give my best to express my view clearly. I remember then I got angry and wrote down my arguments ;D (it was so funny when someone said about me - "HE is right" ..it is common in Lithuania that girls don't like football and certainly don't know anything about it ) Anyway I started looking for the information about Zlatan Ibrahimovic and with every piece of it I started liking him more...Fantastic football player with breathtaking look, great humour sence, wide heart and hot temper enthralled me Now I am a huge Zlatan fan and very happy to associate with others Quite a long story..thank you for reading ....sorry for being so emotional ..

....sorry for being so emotional .. SORRY ? No , Zig think about whom you were telling this ! You know about Zladdi´s temper and don´t you think his fans are a lil the same ? Emotion belongs to us cause we are Ibrahimovic supporters
