Zlatan, your fans are here and their requests are crossing all sorts of boundaries
Like a fully grown adult drinking a Capri Sun in public, this just doesn’t look right. Check out this frankly disturbing banner a Paris Saint-Germain fan crafted for the club’s talismanic striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
A very specific request in Guingamp this weekend for @Ibra_official… #PSG #Zlatan #Ligue1 pic.twitter.com/dgYNPTBVHw

The message on the placard is as terrifying as it is confusing. For one thing, it is a demand not a question. The exclamation mark signifies that the fan is not asking for either his perspiration or his undergarments, he’s insisting he gives up at least one of them. However, the use of the word ‘please’ makes the psychotic request somewhat polite.
Secondly, is he literally asking for his sweat or is it more of a metaphor for a good day’s effort on the pitch? If it’s the latter, it makes the other option a lot stranger. “Zlatan, I implore you to have a good game. Failing that, your underwear will suffice.”
Perhaps we’re definitely reading too much into this.
