The former Sweden international has had a glittering career so far, having won leagues titles and various other cups in four different countries, something not many have achieved.
The former Paris Saint-German striker feels the youngsters of today have things easier than he did early in his career, and also don't work as hard.
"I am working hard, I like the hard work, I am very happy that I am from the old generation, the hard-working generation," Ibrahimovic told Sky Sports.
"I believe the new generation... let's say it is a bit easier for them, because they get explored in the media in a different way, much bigger, much faster than when I popped up in the football world.
"I met teammates, played with different teams, and they worked hard to get what they got and achieve.
"I do not want to say it is totally different, but I do not see the same hard-working thing when I see the new generation.
"Like you say, when I come, I like to work hard, and when I work hard, I am satisfied. I know I am doing something good, but for myself, not for somebody else to say: 'Oh Ibra, you are working hard'."
