To announce that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the recipient of the Uefa President’s award ‘for never forgetting his roots’.
“I take this award with big honour. I achieved something, it means. I played for the best clubs in the world.”
The basic premise is that Zlatan has taken all the credit for the Swiss model and Uefa wants some for itself. So Zlatan, walking around his drum in Lake Como, wearing only a white towel, and Ceferin hammer out an agreement, the result about to be revealed when the two come on stage grinning as if they’ve just pulled off the Andrew Preview sketch.
Starring Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Fabrizio Romano and Aleksander Ceferin. If you’re a fan of scripted, corporate humour it may float your boat.
Jason Gannon, the significantly less high profile club COO, instead gets the call up to take the award. “So special for us,” he says as he thanks Uefa for the recognition.
