Video: Joker Zlatan Ibrahimovic hijacks interview to keep sponsor happy

In Zlatan we trust

Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave an interview the other day that was as entertaining as it was excruciatingly frustrating for the journalists.

You never know quite what to expect when Zlatan does his media obligations.

The PSG striker had a very memorable interview with a Swedish journalist following his hat-trick during the 4-1 Coupe de France win over St. Etienne.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the Swedish superstar striker decided to hijack the interview to promote a sponsor.

As the face of Swedish vitamin drink company, Zlatan did his level best to work in as many references to the beverage in the interview as possible, regardless of the question being asked.

At every possible opportunity he brought up the name of the drink,  crediting it to his success and while it made for some pretty fun viewing, you can’t help but feel for the reporter who got zilch off the forward.
