"How should headers be scored? I spit on your rules of physics. I AM ZLATAN."
"How should one treat one's team mates in the sanctity of the dressing room? Pah - I laugh in the face of your laws of team morale. I shall continue to have my playthings do my bidding, for I AM ZLATAN."
As if those examples of Zlatan's power weren't enough, the great man used Sweden's 3-1 win against Iran to show the world he doesn't follow the rules when it comes to overhead kicks either.
As you can see in the above clip, when a Sweden corner is floated into the box, Zlatan tries his patented Zlatan-style bicycle kick not once, but twice - in the space of a few seconds.
If just about any other player on the planet had tried this, we would have laughed, scoffed and declared it absurd.
But this was a moment of pure Zlatan. And when Zlatan dares to Zlatan, we simply bow and thank the heavens we get to share a planet with this fabulous specimen.
