Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says that he plays better when he is aggressive.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has remained defiant in the face of critics who say that he should be less aggressive on the field of play.

The 31-year-old has scored 17 goals in 15 games in Ligue 1 this season, but has come under the spotlight due to indiscipline in recent weeks.

Ibrahimovic saw red during PSG's 2-1 defeat to Saint-Etienne in November for a dangerous tackle on Les Verts goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier.

Last week, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas accused the 6'5" forward of deliberately stamping on defender Dejan Lovren.

However, Ibrahimovic said that he will not change his style of play despite recent criticism.

"I want a lot in the field when I play," the Swede told BeInSport. "I may look aggressive, it is the way to feel alive, because if I relax on the field you will not see me playing.

"When I am angry in the field I play better - according to me. And if people say I'm aggressive it stimulates me because I will be even more aggressive. People say I shout? I will shout even more. Because it stimulates me. It doesn't mean that I will relax or something because I won wherever I came and I know how it is to win and I will continue.

"I came here to win and I will continue to be the way I am, because the way I am, I had in ten years a fantastic career. So people telling me now to change... no! I will tell people what to do."

Ibrahimovic joined Les Parisiens from AC Milan in the summer.
