Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored another goal for LA Galaxy on Sunday, winning them their home clash with Real Salt Lake with a close-range finish 12 minutes from time.While the strike was one of the least eye-catching he has scored since joining MLS from Manchester United, Zlatan’s moment still hit the headlines due to his celebration.Or rather, his lack of celebration.

I like when it becomes duels and that because sometimes, not that I fall asleep, but I dont feel alive if they dont activate me.“They need to activate me or else it becomes too easy.“I know me. When I get angry I feel good.”Questions have previously been raised about his conduct in MLS, especially when he slapped Montreal Impact defender Michael Petrasso around the face last May. There were calls for Ibrahimovic to face an extended ban, but he was punished only with the automatic one-match suspension that came with the red card he was shown after the incident.
