Zlatan to honor bet with Beckham, will cheer for England!
Former Manchester United forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to honor the bet with David Beckham. The Swedish legend will now be seen donning the England jersey and eat fish and chips at the Wembley when the Three Lions play their next match at this venue. The duo had placed a bet prior to England's quarter-final match at the recently concluded FIFA World Cup 2018.
What was Zlatan's proposal for Beckham?
Earlier, Zlatan proposed that if England beat Sweden, then he will treat Beckham in any restaurant in the world. But if Sweden win, then Becks will have to buy him whatever he wants from IKEA Sverige. Interestingly, former Sweden international, Zlatan, has recently purchased a mansion in LA. His post went viral, moments after the former Manchester United player tweeted about the same.
Becks has the final laugh
Beckham had accepted the challenge and had said that he will take Zlatan personally to IKEA. But if England win, then he will have to visit Wembley and cheer for England besides eating fish and chips. England went on to win the tie 2-0 and had reached the semis where they were ousted by Croatia in extra-time. Beckham will now see Zlatan at Wembley.
Zlatan to be seen at Wembley in September?
Zlatan stated recently that it was difficult to move on from Sweden's loss, but he is looking forward to cheer for England and honor the pact. England next play Switzerland on September 12.
