Zlatan grew up in Malmö and Malmö FF was his first senior club. Today PSG released a longer interview with Zlatan on their website where Zlatan talks about the dream to play Malmö.
ABOUT THE MATCH AGAINST MALMÖ
ZLATAN: "It means a lot to me. Malmö is the club where I started out. I have a lot of good memories from there, even if I didn't win any trophies. I come from the city... to have the chance to play against them in the Champions league... there's nothing better! 've had a lot of great moments in my career, and this will be another great moment. I'm very happy and I can't wait for the game. I'm also very happy for Malmö, first of all, that the club is playing the Champions League, and secondly, that I have the chance to play in my home town against my former club. It will be a fantastic moment. But on Tuesday we will be playing at home. I'll have to wait a bit longer before my return. "
A DREAM TO PLAY HIS FIRST CLUB
ZLATAN: "It's more than a dream! For me, it's destiny. Last year I wanted to play against Malmö, but it didn't happen. It's happened this year! My career has been full of moments like this. For example, when I played my first match with Juventus, it was against Ajax, the club I'd just left. To play against my first club will be fantastic. I will enjoy every second of these matches. But, I'm a Paris Saint-Germain player and I will give everything for this club. We need to win on Tuesday."
THE CITY OF MALMÖ
ZLATAN: "I'm not only happy for the club, but also for city. I was born there, my friends are there. I think the people of Malmö are very happy for my career. They have given me so much; support, energy, motivation... adrenaline! That why I have become the man I am the man I am today. Malmö will always be my home. I will never forget where I come from, or where I'm going. I will always represent the city."
HIS CAREER SINCE HE LEFT MALMÖ
ZLATAN: "It's been an amazing journey, and it's not finished yet! I think I will really appreciate it when I stop playing football. Today, I'm focused on what I have to do with Paris. For the moment, I'm writing my history. And the book isn't finished yet!"
Zlatan has also answered a couple of questions in his app Zlatan Unplugged:
