Nice defender Baysse: What it\'s REALLY like to mark Zlatan. He\'s always talking...

Published on: 22 February 2017

Nice defender Paul Baysse has revealed what it's like to come up against Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Baysse had great battles with the former PSG star when with St Etienne.

"He is a colorful person, tall in the first sense, he is very, very sturdy and colourful because during the match he speaks, he shouts, he plays a character," Baysse told France Football.

"I responded to him and I am still surprised. It was at the end of the match and Paris had won 1-0 in Saint-Etienne. At that moment, he puts a beautiful tackle on Hamouma. I go to him and tell him something like 'You're wrong'. Then he looks at my name on the shirt. And I have the reflex to do the same, to look ostensibly at his back and the name written. The images have been looping on the Internet, everywhere on social networks.

"The next day, everyone was talking to me about that."
