Forward of the American "Los Angeles Galaxy" and the national team of Sweden Zlatan Ibrahimovic commented on the performance of his national team at the World Cup-2018.

"It's not difficult for me to watch the Swedish national team play without me. I feel I can play better than they do. Such a conclusion I made after watching two matches of the Swedish national team at the World Cup 2018.

I remember that I came to the team and had problems there. I was different from others, but I was able to become a captain. Therefore, sometimes you think: "Let them play and enjoy," Ibrahimovic quoted ESPN.

Recall, previously Zlatan repeatedly confidently stated that he would go to the World Cup in Russia. However, did not get into the team, so I went to the Mundial as an ambassador with a sponsor.

Zlatan stopped appearances for the national team after the European Championship in 2016. After Sweden guaranteed itself to participate in the World Cup 2018 (in the round of the playoffs there was a bit Italy).

Let's note, the Swiss defeated South Korea and lost to Germany. After two rounds, they have 3 points on their account and retain a chance to exit the group.

__________________________ Recall that 9 countries, including Ukraine, Australia, Finland, Japan, Denmark, Iceland, Great Britain, Poland, Sweden, declared a diplomatic boycott of the World Championship in Russia. The reasons for this were the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine and Syria, the poisoning of Russian ex-intelligence agent Sergey Skripal in Britain, the starvation of Ukrainian political prisoners, including the director Oleg Sentsov, and the systematic violation of human rights in the Russian Federation.

Unlimited hunger strike Sentsov announced May 14, 2018. His main demand is the dismissal of more than 60 Ukrainian political prisoners who are behind bars in Russia. This requirement of the director was supported by the US State Department, the EU, the Canadian Parliament and.

2015 Russian court illegally sentenced Sentsov to 20 years in a strict-regime colony. The actions in support of the director took place all over the world, including in Russia.
