Ibrahimovic: “My age? It is a mental matter “

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has undoubtedly been one of the keys for Milan to end the year as Serie A leaders. The 39-year-old Swedish forward continues to be a benchmark for the ‘Rossonero’ team, where he feels at home.

“Here I feel at home, the days are pleasant, everyone loves me, everything works here. They treat me like a commander ”, said the player in an interview in Corriere della Sera.

For next year, Ibra assures that Milan must have ambition. “We must start 2021 well, go ahead with the games together, as if they were the first and the last of life at the same time. We should always be hungrier ”.

The Swede explained what it was like to pass the coronavirus. “I had a headache, not very bad, but annoying. He was pissed off, he couldn't go out or train well. At one point he was talking to the house and giving names to the walls. It becomes a mental fact, you imagine all the evils about you ”.

Ibrahimovic acknowledges that having the family away is what takes him worst. “I miss you so much, I can't take it anymore. My wife and children live in Sweden and go to school there. I can't even go see them. They are the most important, in every future decision my family will always be the first. Pioli told me that I have 2 boys there, but also 25 in Milanello who need me ”.

Finally, the forward says that being 39 years old does not prevent him from being decisive. “Is there age? No. It's all and just a matter of mind. “
