RB Leipzig midfielder Forsberg: Why Ibrahimovic can be 'annoying' to teammates

RB Leipzig midfielder Emil Forsberg admits Zlatan Ibrahimovic demands perfection from his teammates.

Forsberg says the Manchester United striker can be "annoying" when training with him.

The Swede told Spox: "He was my idol when small and it's cool that I had the opportunity to play with him.

"Zlatan can be incredibly annoying when you've had a bad workout.

"He can be right at you with questions about why you did a bad exercise, how it is possible to train so badly and why you were not focused. A little is joking but a little bit serious. That's how he is. He always wants to win and push his surroundings to new heights."
