In a recent interview with Goal.com, Paul Clement said, "Zlatan Ibrahimovic does it very openly, speaks very confidently - and at times it is arrogance, but that is what he is. He used to be like that on a daily basis and would ask me questions such as: 'What is Didier Drogba like?' I would go into detail about what he is good at and Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be like, 'He is not as good as me' and would make you laugh.” 

In addition to that, Paul Clement also stated how Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo are giving utmost importance to keeping themselves in the best of shape. While talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo, Paul Clement added, "They were both very professional on and off the field. The way they looked after their bodies with recovery, knowledge of nutrition. At his house in Madrid, Cristiano had special recovery facilities that you would find at a club or a health spa. He had a cold plunge; he really invested in his profession and health. Those type of people go the extra mile."
