Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Sweden 'bust up'

Zlatan Ibrahimovic reportedly clashes with teammates and Swedish coaching staff at Euro 2012.

Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic was at the centre of a controversial bust-up following his side's 2-1 defeat to Ukraine on Monday.

After he had reportedly aimed an angry rant at strike partner Markus Rosenberg during half-time, Ibrahimovic is believed to have barracked his colleagues with abuse when seeing them chatting to their wives and girlfriends instead of warming down.

He is also understood to have argued with assistant coach Marcus Allback.

Former Bolton Wanderers striker Johan Elmander said: "It's up to Zlatan to say what he wants. It doesn't affect the group at all."

Coach Erik Hamren added: "It's difficult to get everything working when you have setbacks.

"It's like a marriage. It's a lot more fun when you have just fallen in love and everything is rosy. Then you don't see any problems."

Sweden, who are bottom of Euro 2012's Group D, face England in Kiev on Friday.
