The 33-year-old sweden sparked outrage for criticising the
country on Saturday before later apologising for his remarks on social media.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been told to leave France by the nation's far right National Front leader Marine Le Pen.
The Paris Saint-Germain star caused a storm
when he was filmed making several angry
remarks relating to incidents in the club's 3-2
Ligue 1 defeat away to Bordeaux
.
Footage released by Canal + recorded him saying:
“In 15 years I’ve never seen a [good] referee in
this s*** country ... It doesn't even even deserve
PSG.”
Le Pen responded with a firm statement in an
interview with France Info radio on Monday:
"Those who consider that France is a s*** country
can leave it. It's as simple as that."
Ibrahimovic later apologised for his comments
through a message communicated via his social
networking sites: “Regarding my comments after
tonight’s game; they were not against France or
the French people. I spoke about football.
"I lost the game, I accept that but I can’t accept
when the referee doesn’t follow the rules. It’s not
the first time and I’m sick of it. My sincere
apologies if anyone was offended or took it the
wrong way.”
The former AC Milan and Barcelona star scored
twice on Sunday but a late goal from Diego Rolan
saw PSG beaten 3-2, with the striker angered by
the referee failing to award a free-kick when the
goalkeeper Cedric Carrasso picked up a back pass
late in the game.
Ibrahimovic could yet face disciplinary charges for
the outburst after the LFP stated it will discuss
the incident at a meeting on Thursday.
