Football: Ibrahimovic still as “zlatanesque”

Published on :

At 38, Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns to his best level with AC Milan since the resumption of the Italian Championship. This July 7, 2020, against Juventus Turin (4-2), he was one of the architects of the victory, while the Milanese were led 2-0. After the meeting, the Swede was provocative before the media, as usual.

On Tuesday, Zlatan Ibrahimovic led AC Milan to victory by scoring on the hourly penalty kick. The Milanese then knocked down Juventus Turin, scoring three goals in a quarter of an hour (final score: 4-2). . The Swedish striker is in great shape: two goals and two assists in the last two games. A good momentum as his calf injury, in training in late May, had spread rumors about a possible retirement.

But Ibrahimovic, who will be 39 years old in October, does not intend to stop there, after almost 21 years at the highest level. Interviewed yesterday by the DZN media after the match, the former PSG star said that she still felt able to play. ” I’m old, it’s no secret, but age is just a number, he explained. I do good training, I manage my rhythm and today I played more than against Lazio. I’m fine and trying to help the team in any way ” Before adding, with the irony that characterizes it: ” I do the coach, the president and the player but I only have one salary. »

“Maybe the last time fans see me live”

Despite the enthusiasm of Rossoneri supporters, “Ibra” would be closer to leaving Lombardy than to extend his contract (which runs until August 31). The probable departure of the coach, Stefano Pioli, as well as the sporting director, Paolo Maldini, could incite the Swedish giant to join another club. ” There is still a month left to have fun. There are certain things going on here that we don’t control. I’m sorry for the fans but it may be the last time they see me live. It’s up to you to read between the lines … “He said yesterday as the Italian media reports on the arrival of German Ralf Rangnick in a double hat of coach and sports director.
