"I feel happy, I feel good.Even if I`m 35, in my mind I`m 20," Sport24 quoted Ibrahimovic as saying. "I think I could play also at 50, but it won`t be down to me. The older I get, the better I get, like red wine! You like red wine? I`m a perfect example of that. The older I get, the better I play.

"Revealing the secret behind his success, the Swede said that taekwondo has helped him a lot to stay in shape."I`ve played in different championships, in different countries, and you need to adapt your body to the game and the way it`s played here," he said.
