Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave bad news for Sweden, his country. The 35-year-old forward will no longer wear the colors of his homeland after the Euro 2016 France. He announced it before the match against Belgium, which could mean the striker's last game.

"Tomorrow may be my last international match, but in any case, I will not leave disappointed. I have been proud to be in this selection, to feel the support of the fans. I will not leave disappointed, but proud," he said on Tuesday during a press conference in Nice.

The 35-year-old forward made his debut with his country on January 31, 2001, in a match against the Faroe Islands. After 15 years, he will stop wearing the yellow shirt, of which he has been captain for the last decade.

His first goal with his country was scored against Azerbaijan, in a qualifying match for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. He has been international in 115 occasions and has scored 62 goals, becoming the top scorer of his country.

Despite the fact that tomorrow's match could mean the last one with his country, Zlatan Ibrahimovic trusted that it will not be and they will manage to advance to the second round.

"It's a difficult match, but we firmly believe that we can win and we have the challenge of continuing in the tournament. Belgium has a great defense, very strong, but I may have more opportunities because there will also be more spaces," said the Swedish star, who described Belgium as a "fantastic" opponent, who may lack some experience, "but that is acquired," he commented.

His coach, Erik Hamren, regretted Zlatan Ibrahimovic's announcement and took a large part of his participation in the press conference to praise him.
