Zlatan Ibrahimovic speaks on 18-year-old Kerim Alajbegović stunner against Qatar 🔥
🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović style:
"Everybody is talking about the goal, but for me the goal is not the biggest thing. The biggest thing is the courage. An 18-year-old in the World Cup, under pressure, with millions watching, and he plays like he owns the stadium. That is rare."
"Many young players have talent. Talent is everywhere. But talent without personality means nothing. When I watched Kerim, I did not see a young player hoping to have a good game. I saw a player who believed he was the best player on the pitch."
"The finish was beautiful, yes. The technique was perfect, yes. But what impressed me was the confidence before the goal. The way he demanded the ball, the way he attacked the moment. Great players do not wait for opportunities. They create them."
"People will say this is the beginning of his career. Maybe. But if he keeps this mentality, this goal will be remembered as the moment football realized who Kerim Alajbegović is. The World Cup is where stars are born. Today, a new one introduced himself."
