Ibrahimovic is known for being out-spoken during his but Cole reveals the veteran striker has two different personas for the media and the dressing room.
"He [Ibrahimovic] has two personalities; with us in the dressing room he was brilliant, quiet, very humble, but for the media he was God," Cole said on the A League of Their Own TV show, according to the Daily Mail.
"He had moments where he would come in the dressing room and really let people know about their s*** touch, 'can't run, you're slow', but in front of the media his persona changed.
"He tried to once (fight with Cole), he did throw his hands in the air.
"And I said 'Put your f***ing hands down'. I'm deadly serious, honestly. I was thinking, 'You might have a little point, but don't put your hands up'."
