Streamer's wild Milan adventure with soccer legend Zlatan Ibrahimović
2:49 PM EDT, July 10, 2024
During his European trip, popular streamer iShowSpeed encountered one of the biggest soccer stars, Zlatan Ibrahimović. This meeting occurred on Tuesday evening in Milan and was full of unpredictable moments.
Darren Watkins, better known as iShowSpeed, gained immense popularity through his live streams and recently visited Poland, Sweden, and Norway twice. Speed will probably never forget his visit to Norway, but for entirely different reasons.
iShowSpeed met Zlatan Ibrahimović
After a short stay in Greece, the 19-year-old YouTuber arrived in Milan, where he was honored. Zlatan Ibrahimović, one of the faces of the AC Milan management team, invited him to the team's locker room. From the start, iShowSpeed made a small blunder by mispronouncing the Swede's name, who corrected him. Speed, wearing the Milan striker's jersey, chatted with him and then tried his hand at soccer.
Speed's attempts to impress Zlatan with soccer tricks were unsuccessful. The YouTuber stumbled into Ibrahimović and fell to the ground as if he had hit a wall. Despite this, both had a great time, as seen in the livestream.
For Zlatan, the best is Ibrahimović
After a shared conversation and playing soccer, the duo traveled by car around Milan. They talked, performed various tasks during the ride, and interacted with live-stream viewers. Speed asked Zlatan who he valued more - Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? The player's answer was typical of his confident style and probably surprised no one. After all, for Zlatan, the best is always Zlatan.
Ibrahimović also took his guest to the official AC Milan store, giving him a jersey with his nickname and an autographed ball. Additional jerseys were made available for Speed's and Zlatan's fans to purchase, as well as AC Milan supporters.
At the end of the meeting, Ibrahimović and iShowSpeed signed a "contract" for the YouTuber to join AC Milan. Of course, it was just a joke, and the supposed agreement was written with a marker on a regular piece of paper. The gentlemen promised each other they would meet again.
