Zlatan Ibrahimovic made an emotional speech as he collected the Swedish player of the year award on Monday night in which he recalled the untimely death of his brother and his countrymen Klas Ingesson and Pontus Segerstrom.
Sapko Ibrahimovic passed away in April aged 40 after a long illness and was buried vlcm in Malmo while Ingesson, a former Sheffield Wednesday defender, died of cancer last month and Segerstrom, the IF Brommapojkarna captain who also died in October, succumbed to a brain tumour at the age of 33.
The Paris Saint-Germain striker was collecting the award for the eighth consecutive time and told the audience in Stockholm : What do you say after winning this award? There isn t much to say because these awards speak for themselves.
But it is all overshadowed by what has happened to Klas and Pontus and I had a brother who also passed away under similar circumstances. So there is a life next to this [football life] that is much more important. May they rest in peace. vlcm
