When the Qataris last year bought Paris SaintGermain (PSG), the French capital’s premier football club, it touched a raw enough nerve. This is a country, after all, which once   (1)    yogurt-making a strategic industry in need of protection from foreign takeovers.    (2)    , a left-wing newspaper, denounced the small Gulf state’s “ferocious appetite for power and influence”, and warned that “bling-bling football” was on its way to France. Nearly 18 months later, many French    (3)    —over wealth, taxes, capitalism or free trade—are exemplified by PSG’s fortunes.

Short of the sort of cash that has been sloshing around other European football    (4)    , the French have traditionally exported talent, often to England.

So far, Mr Ibrahimovic has scored nine goals in eight league matches; PSG tops the league. Should his feet fail him, though, the Swede may just find other ways to charm the French.
