Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 41, is back on the soccer field.
The Swede reveals that he has returned to stay for a while.
– If it continues like this, I intend to play for a few more years, not just one year, Ibrahimovic tells Italian media.
After nine months of injury absence Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 41, returned on Sunday evening, with a lead of only a quarter of an hour, in Milan’s 2-0 victory over Atalanta.
And now the Swede, according to his statement, is back in earnest. Even if the road there is difficult and complicated.
The truth is, even three weeks ago it didn’t feel so good, then something happened and I made more progress in three weeks than I had in the last eight months. I knew it would take time and patience, the Swede told Italy 1 (according to Tuttomercatoweb) after the match.
“Be a little nervous.”
Zlatan was also asked if he has plans to break new records in the future, including in the Champions League, having just broken the record as the oldest player in Milan’s history. It appears he did.
– If it continues like this, I intend to play for a few more years, not one year, says Ibrahimovic, whose current contract with the “Rossoneri” extends until the end of the season.
But the main thing here and now is that he’s back on the football field.
For a year and two months I couldn’t play football as I wanted because I wasn’t feeling well. I suffered a lot, because of what happened with Mino Raiola (his agent who died) and because of my physical condition. It wasn’t easy, but being on the field now feels very good. I was a little nervous, but I had good confidence.
Anderson: “It’s great to see Zlatan back”
Sweden captain Jan Andersson was also happy to see the star Swedish striker back on the football field.
“It’s great to see Zlatan back on the field and play a game again after such a long rehabilitation period,” he said. Anderson says in a text message to Sportbladet:
