At PSG, the question of who will take the penalties arises at the start of the season. When Zlatan Ibrahimovic arrived at the capital club, it was then obvious.
On July 18, 2012, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed for Paris Saint-Germain, the capital club changed dimension. At the time the Swedish striker arrived in the capital of France, Guillaume Hoarau was the designated penalty taker for the Rouge et Bleu.
Naturally, the Scandinavian giant did not need to ask permission from the Reunion Islander to become the specialist in the exercise. “With him, there was a hierarchy at all levels and respect. I am Guillaume Hoarau, Zlatan Ibrahimovic arrives, he takes the penalties. At what point am I going to sulk?”recalled Guillaume Hoarau in the columns of Parisian.
Zlatan, a before and after at PSG
It’s not just on the pitch that things have changed at PSG with the arrival of Zlatan. “There is a scene that marked everyone, said Clément Chantôme in the show ‘Le Vestiaire’ in 2019. First trip we made with him. When he went up to his room, he noticed that his suitcase was not there. He called Leonardo and asked him where his things were. In fact, his suitcase was still on the bus. In Milan, he was used to the steward doing it. Thanks to him, the players no longer needed to carry the suitcases.
After winning twelve titles with PSG, Zlatan Ibrahimovic left for Manchester United in the summer of 2016. The third highest scorer in the club’s history, he holds the record for goals in a season in all competitions, with 50 goals, during the 2015-2016 season.
