QPR were in the second tier of English football at the time of Ibrahimovic’s trial and passed up the opportunity to sign one of the biggest talents in Europe.
Ibrahimovic has gone on to score nearly 250 career goals and won titles with Ajax, Inter, Barcelona, Milan and PSG.
Flygare, who has written the book with Swedish journalist Daniel Nilsson Padilla, told Sportsmail: ‘Zlatan was holding on to the ball for too long and the trainer tackled him when he wasn’t expecting it.
‘For that, Zlatan tackled him back and then told the trainer to “**** off”. He went mad at Zlatan.
‘Being in England was so much different. He just told Zlatan: “for that, you’re going to breathe through your a***”. I’ll never forget it. We didn’t hear from QPR again.'
