Milan: The autobiography, titled 'I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic', is set to be released on November 15, but Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet recently leaked excerpts from the book, which included the 30-year-old directing heavy criticism at the management of former coach Pep Guardiola.
However, Ibrahimovic has insisted that there is no ulterior motive to the sudden release of his story, believing it was necessary to clarify his version of events that took place in Catalunya two seasons ago.
"If anyone has anything else to say or they know something I don't, then they are welcome to speak, but I've told you everything I know in this book," said the striker to the publication.
The Sweden international joined Barcelona in a blaze of glory during the summer of 2009 from Inter, but he admitted that his experience contrasted from the one he had dreamt of, despite scoring 21 goals for the European champions.
"Sometimes it is better to be content with what you have to dream about, than to fulfil it, only to discover that it almost kills you," he said.
His current employers Milan welcome Barcelona on November 23 to decide the winner of Group H in the Champions League.
Aftonbladet also reports that the striker reveals how he told Pep Guardiola that he was afraid of then Inter coach Jose Mourinho and that he could "go to hell".
"I yelled to him, 'You have no balls!' And probably worse things than that, and I added, 'You are sh***ing yourself about Mourinho! You can go to hell!' I was completely mad. If I were Guardiola, I would have been frightened," Ibrahimovic writes in the first chapter of his book.
The former Ajax star also revealed his true feelings for Barcelona trio Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi.
"The atmosphere in the dressing room was way too quiet for me. Messi, Iniesta and Xavi always obeyed without protesting. They were like schoolboys. I'm not like that and I couldn't be myself," he added.
Ibrahimovic explained that Messi is Guardiola's favourite, while also stating that the coach made little attempt to communicate with him.
"Messi asked to be played in another position," he claims. "He wanted to play as centre forward and got his way. I didn't have a relationship with the coach. He hardly looked at me."
The 30-year-old attacker left Barcelona for AC Milan in the summer of 2010 after only one year at Camp Nou.
