Zlatan Ibrahimovic has joined the list of Argentina national team critics for their behaviour during the World Cup.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic said in an interview that the current Argentina squad would not win anything else because they behaved in a way that did not command respect at the World Cup.
The Qatar 2022 champions faced harsh criticism for their actions during the competition, some of which resulted in FIFA charging them. Zlatan is one of such critics, and he believes they would not win any more trophies.

The Swede made a point of excluding Messi, saying the PSG star will be remembered for winning the World Cup while criticising Messi's teammates.
"I am worried about the other players in Argentina because they are not going to win anything else,” Zlatan said in the interview, per Marca.
“They behaved badly, and that cannot be respected. I say this as a high-level professional. For me, it is a sign that they won once, but they won't do it again.”
Zlatan predicts another World Cup for France
The 41-year-old also spoke about the losing finalist, France, specifically about the Les Bleus star and Messi's PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe.

He mentioned how sorry he felt for the forward who scored four goals, including in the penalty shootouts, and did not win, but assured that he was in no way worried for Mbappe, who he predicted to lift another World Cup with France.
"I'm sorry for him because scoring four goals in a final and not winning it is very sad,” Zlatan said.
“But he's already won a World Cup and he's going to win another; no, I'm worried about Mbappe.”
Mbappe helped France win their second-ever World Cup trophy in 2018.
