Ibrahimovic Is Still One Of The Best Players Ever, Says David Beckham

 

David Beckham says Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still among football's best as the Manchester United striker won Sweden's Golden Ball for the 11th time.  Ibrahimovic, who was Beckham's team-mate at Paris Saint-Germain before the former England captain retired, has been awarded Sweden's best player accolade every year since 2005 and will be honoured with a statue outside the Friends Arena - the country's national stadium. 

Beckham paid tribute to his close friend Ibrahimovic in a video message at the awards ceremony on Monday, and revealed why he is delighted the 35years old Swede is now at his beloved United.
He said “His physique, his passion, his love for the game, hasn't changed, he's still one of the greatest players that has ever played the game - one of the reasons why I'm happy he is now playing at Manchester United, my team. Thanks for that, Zlatan.”

Beckham also admitted his favourite Ibrahimovic goal was his 30-yard overhead kick for Sweden in their 4-2 win over England in 2012, insisting only the United forward is capable of scoring such a goal.
