Six examples that show how Jose Mourinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are very much alike

#2 Zlatan and Mourinho vs the referees

Unlike the fans, match officials for the PSG Chelsea match will be praying for a quiet match. If the prayers go unanswered, there is something they can count on. With Mourinho pacing outside of the pitch and the great Zlatan prowling inside, it will be hard to escape intimidation both on and off the field.

Both men are not evasive to throwing their overbearing personalities at the officials if decisions seem to be going the wrong way. Both men have turned the ‘looked down act of referee intimidation’ into an art-form through years of practice.

Here Mourinho is seen taking his complaints to the referee in a Real Madrid vs Real Murcia match in the La Liga. Sending the Special One-off was of little help as Mourinho continued his antics from the stands, before finally being dispatched to the dressing room.

Zlatan, on the other hand, seems to prefer humour over Mourinho’s tenacity. Watch Zlatan joke with the referee or rather call him the joke.
