Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems fireproof. His 40th birthday in October is by no means an obstacle for the Swede to think about continuing at Milan. This was recognized in the Italian television program RAI, Che tempo che fa, in which put pressure and tensed his current club. Ibrahimovic ends his contract on June 30 and has made it clear that he wants to continue: “I want to win trophies, I came to Milan to win. Rossoneri I have many responsibilities, I feel like a leader. This team is the only one in which I am excited, I want to give a lot and I learn a lot to be the guide of this team, because when they look at me they expect something from me. “
Staying at Milan, who, thanks to their contribution on the pitch, is in the fight for the Italian league title, is their great goal. Also, return to the Swedish national team and play the next European Championship, something that the media in his country take for granted after transcending a conversation with the coach in which both have smoothed out rough edges. If the news is confirmed, Zlatan would return to Sweden five years later. His statements tense Milan.
And Ibrahimovic throws the ball to the court of his coach, Pioli, and Paolo Maldini, technical director. Very good ways on the part of the Swede to convince them both: “During the San Remo Song Festival (in which he was a luxury guest) I often spoke with Pioli and Maldini. When I spend a day without them, it is like a day without my children. ” And he ended up saying: “It depends on Maldini. If Paolo gives me one more year in Milan, I'll be there.”
Regarding his return to the Swedish national team, it seems that it is imminent. Have passed almost five years since Zlatana Ibrahimovic last wore the Sweden jersey. It was in the defeat to Belgium during the group stage of Euro 2016. At the time I was 34 years old. In this time Ibrahimovic has shattered any theory imposed by the passing of the years and on the decline of a footballer's career due to age. Now, almost five years later is preparing its resounding return. Ibrahimovic is Sweden's all-time top scorer after scoring 62 goals in 112 games.
All despite the fact that relations with the coach, Janne Andersson, seemed broken as a result of a comment about his professionalism after falling a few months ago to France in the League of Nations. In these comments, spilled from his Twitter account, he questioned the lack of minutes of the young promise Dejan Kulusevski. But It seems that after a meeting Andersson and Ibrahimovic have smoothed out their rough edges and that Zlatan will be at the next European Championship. And where I said “I say”, now I say “Diego” … and little hairs to the sea.
According to the Swedish media, Ibrahimovic He will be with his team in the next international window in March and at this summer's Eurocup and it could participate in the World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Kosovo, as well as in the friendly against Estonia at the end of March.
With Zlatan scoring and in top form, his team, Milan, occupies second place in Serie A, where they have scored 14 goals, as many as the games they have played in the competition this season. Before I had followed performing at the highest level in the United States MLS, in the LA Galaxy. Although, in his previous team, at Manchester United, he had to cope with a serious cruciate ligament injury, which left him in the dry dock for seven months in 2017 and the first months of 2018 due to a new knee injury. He recently revealed that recovering from that serious injury was what fueled his desire to extend his sports career.
Thus, the Swedish striker has shown at Milan that he is in good shape and ready to play for Sweden. So much so that he has already had conversations with the coach, Janne Andersson and so much so that he is preparing his return with the highest sights, this summer's European Championship.
Andersson has valued his meeting with Zlatan very positively, which adds arguments to the news that sounds strongly in his country: the return of the Swedish striker. “I'm glad we got a meeting so fast,” said the coach.
