Although it will probably make him want to score even more.

Maybe, much like Samson, that’s where his power lies.

The season he decided to shave it off (2005-06), he managed just seven Serie A goals for Juve so there’s something in it.

He may pretend it didn’t bother him, but we know he’s still hurting.

Former PSG and Bolton Wanderers defender Bernard Mendy had that advice before a Ligue 1 game back in December. Unfortunately, he decided against brute force and his side Brest were beaten 3-0.
To add insult to injury, Mendy scored an own goal against his former club.
Think of it as his Kryptonite.

He won’t like that one bit. We’re thinking James McClean might have it in his locker.
It's his pride and joy.

10 ways Ireland must try to stop Zlatan Ibrahimovic
1. Get Ciaran Clark and Paul Green to team up and do a number on him
The pair just need to follow Carlos Marchena and Marcos Senna’s example.
2. You could put Gerard Pique sitting in the front row of the Friends Arena. That would almost certainly distract him…
They were close friends at Barca.
3. Childish insults about the size of his nose could work
Although it will probably make him want to score even more.
4. Cut off his long beautiful locks
Maybe, much like Samson, that’s where his power lies.
The season he decided to shave it off (2005-06), he managed just seven Serie A goals for Juve so there’s something in it.
5. When the ball’s out of play, whisper in his ear that he never fit in at Barcelona
He may pretend it didn’t bother him, but we know he’s still hurting.
6. Use “baseball bats and dogs”
Former PSG and Bolton Wanderers defender Bernard Mendy had that advice before a Ligue 1 game back in December. Unfortunately, he decided against brute force and his side Brest were beaten 3-0.
To add insult to injury, Mendy scored an own goal against his former club.
7. Allegedly, if you played this song to Zlatan, he would spontaneously combust
Think of it as his Kryptonite.

8. Make a fool out of him
He won’t like that one bit. We’re thinking James McClean might have it in his locker.
9. Have Mark Kennedy and Phil Babb hop all over his outrageously pink Lamborghini, which he got custom-made to match his boots
It's his pride and joy.
