The message broke down like a bomb in football Sweden. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, after a share purchase, is the sole partner of just over a quarter of Hammarby Fotboll. In an interview with Aftonbladet, Zlatan Ibrahimovic argues that the acquisition will not have a significant impact on relations with Malmö FF.
Aren't you worried that the people of Malmö will be disappointed in you?
- No, I don't think they will. Or I know they won't be disappointed. What I have done for MFF will be there forever. This is a completely different situation. It has nothing to do with where my career began, Zlatan says in an interview in Aftonbladet.
"It's a disillusioned man talking"Kaveh Hosseinpour is Deputy Chairman of MFF support and when SVT Sport reaches him he has just been aware of the news.
- What Zlatan did for MFF was that he was sold for a lot of money. Since then he has not done so much more, says Hosseinpour.
Zlatan's forecasts regarding the disappointment of the MFF supporters do not agree with Hosseinpour.
"It's a disillusioned man who talks," says Kaveh Hosseinpour coldly.
As late as October, a statue of Zlatan Ibrahimovic was erected outside Malmö Stadium but according to Kaveh Hosseinpour, Zlatan's new decision to enter Hammarby is the end of the relationship between the club and Zlatan.

Zlatan: "I am proof that everything is possible" Photo: Bildbyrån- I feel sorry for Zlatan. He has burned all his bridges with MFF. For supporters and young people, he will not be the role model he was before.
Kaveh Hosseinpour believes that Zlatan's decision is the bottom line for a relationship between club and player, which in recent years has become worse.
- The idea of Zlatan to MFF was much more relevant a few years ago. In recent years, the transition has felt less and less hot. Instead of thinking about Zlatan to Malmö for the season, they have instead focused on whether or not Markus Rosenberg should sign for another year. "Mackan" has been extremely much larger than Zlatan in MFF.
