#2 A friendship for the ages
The friendship of Ibra and Maxwell has gone down as one of the most celebrated bromances in the world of football. Both played together at Ajax, Barcelona, Inter Milan and PSG.
When Zlatan signed for Ajax in 2001, he met Maxwell on his first day in Amsterdam. The two have been best friends ever since. In his youth years, Ibrahimovic was much of a spendthrift. It was Maxwell who took care of him in those times.
Maxwell also let Ibrahimovic share his apartment. The Brazilian is quite the opposite of the outspoken Swede. He likes being quiet on the pitch as well as off it and doesn't have as big an ego. It came as no surprise to the fans when Zlatan wrote about Maxwell in his autobiography.
Sometimes I'm surprised he's become so good. Nice guys like him usually don't make it in football.
