Mainz striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has aimed a dig at Zlatan Ibrahamovic, criticising him for his “arrogant” behaviour off the pitch, despite admitting the former Sweden international is his idol on it.
Ibrahamovic, currently in his second spell at AC Milan, is known for being one of the most charismatic figures in the game, with a career taking in some of football's most illustrious clubs.
His larger than life performances on the pitch are often matched by his comments off it, though the supreme confidence he has in his ability is often interpreted as arrogance by some.
