The full-page ad in Friday’s Los Angeles Times said simply, “Dear Los Angeles, You’re Welcome.”
In retrospect, it seems modest.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic refers to himself as a lion, has his own line of signature underwear and last week, he tweeted a picture of himself dressed in a white robe and arm wrestling the devil. He’s confident, to say the least. And despite his age (36) and a serious knee injury suffered in April, Ibrahimovic was certain that good things were in store when he signed with the L.A. Galaxy last week. He’d won titles and beguiled both fans and opponents with spectacular goals at every stop in an iconic career.
