Mino Raiola’s first appointment with Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was historic, given the events that occurred in them, which show how the Italian agent will be able to deal with the Sultan’s arrogant way, and even convince him.
Zlatan tells in his book that the first time Raiola came to him in a restaurant, he was waiting for Ibra to see a man in luxurious clothes, but he found Mino in front of him wearing shorts and a shirt, to Ibra’s surprise and saying that he came from the series “Soprano”.
He showed him his numbers in that period, and the numbers of other attackers such as Ferry, Inzaghi and Trezeguet, which show that Ibra is far from them.
The Italian asked him: “How can I sell you when your numbers are so low?”
Zlatan replied: “If I score 20 goals, even my mother can sell me.”
Raiola returned to talk about his external appearance, as the Sultan was wearing a gold watch, a Gucci coat, and had a Ferrari, which Mino had done with him.
The session ended and they left, but Ibra didn’t wait long to call Raiola and tell him he wanted to work with him right away.
Raiola’s first request is for the Sultan to listen to what he says, and ask him to sell the car, and get rid of the watch and the coat, which Zlatan did.
The second request was to train 3 more times a week, and Ibra did that, as he described it in his book as “training like crazy”.
