Sweden is already getting ready for what will be the playoff to Qatar 2022 next year, being the last chance they play to qualify for the World Cup. The defeat against Spain at home left the Swedes with annoyance, who saw their direct quota slip away. But it was not the only thing that attracted attention, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic hit César Azpilicueta hard, in a corner kick.
Given this, the 40-year-old attacker spoke, without much remorse for what happened “I did it on purpose. It was something stupid, but I would do it again to make him understand ”in statements with the British newspaper The Guardian.
Ibrahimovic complemented with “I am not ashamed to say it, because he did a foolish thing to my partner. It was stupid, but I still did it to make him understand: ‘you don’t do that, damn it. You don’t have the balls to do it against me. But I’m going to show you what happens if you do it to me. ‘ That’s why I did it. What can you say? He won’t tell me, but he will tell my partner, who won’t do anything because he’s too good ”.
The attacker only saw the card, so he will be absent in the first game of the repechage to Qatar 2022.
