International soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the closest thing in sports we have to the mythical gods of ancient Greece.  Not only is he a gifted athlete, here he shows off his reasoning skills that can bring a poor reporter to his knees.  Someone tried to weasel in a question about possible strife at PSG and Ibra’s relationship with Edinson Cavani by using the largely bogus trick of “a lot of people are saying.”

What follows is maybe the greatest exchange between journalist and athlete that has ever been captured on camera.

Zlatan: “A lot of people or you?”
Reporter: *stammering nonsense*
Zlatan: “A lot of people or you?”
Reporter: *stammering nonsense*
Zlatan: “But you seem to know better than me, you’re writing about it not me.”
Reporter: *stammering nonsense*
Zlatan: “But still you’re talking about it so how do you know?”
Reporter: *stammering nonsense*
Zlatan: “And you know better football than me?”
Reporter: “No.”
Zlatan: “So why are you talking?
Reporter: *stammering nonsense*
Zlatan: “Are you journalist or a camera guy?”
Reporter: “I am journalist.”
Zlatan: “So why are you holding the camera. You should have a camera guy, no?”
Reporter: *stammering nonsense*
Zlatan: “So it’s low-budget.”

Zlatan: Evil grin.
