Ibra: Arrogant? I love my team-mates!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a whole lot of love to share - and he's certainly not arrogant, if you believe the man himself.

In an interview with the BBC, the PSG striker insisted he has a "big heart" and that the happiness of his team-mates, the fans and everyone else, even Pep Guardiola*, is all that matters to him.

"I read all the time that people think I'm arrogant," he said.

"They say I am cocky, a bad character. I had that from a young age but, when they meet me, they say: 'That image doesn't fit you.'

"Where I come from, you never judge a person until you meet them. I would never do that.

"Wherever I have played, I have won but I only feel satisfied if my team-mates, the fans, everyone is happy. I have a big heart."



*Possibly not Pep Guardiola

يا أمين عمان شغل الباص

#نقول_لامين_عمان الجديد عقل بلتاجي: المواصلات العامة هي عصب المدينة الحديثة. إذا أردنا أن تكون عمّان مدينة عادلة إجتماعيا يصل فيها كل الناس إلى أعمالهم ونشاطاتهم بكلفة معقولة، وإذا اردنا مدينة يتحرك فيها الإقتصاد، واذا اردنا عاصمة يتجول فيها الزائر والسائح بأمان، واذا اردنا أن نخفف من تلوث هوائنا، وإذا اردنا ترشيد تكلفة صيانة الشوارع، واذا اردنا أن نخفض فاتورة الطاقة، واذا اردنا أن نخفف على أعصاب المواطن.. فلا بد من اعطاء الأولوية لبناء نظام نقل عام منظم وحديث ومرن في عمّان.

نعم نتحدث عن استكمال مشروع الباص السريع، ولكن ايضا عن تحسين كل خطوط الباصات القائمة، وتفعيل مواقف الباصات، والالتزام بجداول منتظمة، ونشر خرائط واضحة لخطوط المواصلات، واطلاق خطوط للسرفيس.

نحتاج الى ثورة في مفهوم المواصلات العامة تجعل منها رمزا للمساواة في الفرص بين المواطنين في عمّان.

نحتاج الى "ثورة أرصفة" تنهي الواقع المخزي لتصميم الأرصفة في مدينتنا، لأن المشاة صغاراً وكباراً لهم حق التنقل الآمن في عمّان.

لذلك، فلنرفع اصواتنا معاً ونقول للأمين الجديد: نعم لمدينة عادلة نتحرك فيها بسهولة ونركب فيها معاً وسائل المواصلات العامة الحديثة المنظمة
