Zlatan Ibrahimovic is always good for a juicy quote or two, but not all of them are gems. Some are just excuses.
Players, coaches and supporters alike can come up with an enumerate amount of excuses for their clubs and we have heard some head-scratching ones in the Premier League.
Ibra gave us one of the more interesting excuses this past season and there’s more where that came from. David James, Kenny Dalglish and Jurgen Klopp are just some of the famous names who have come up with excuses that aren’t exactly valid.
Complaints about the ball, the pitch, the weather and even the kits make the cut of football’s funniest excuses, and you know that there are bound to be more great sound bytes this upcoming season.
Will they come from quotable managers such as Jose Mourinho or Klopp? Or maybe someone will step into Ibrahimovic’s boots and provide a few great lines?
