Then Ibrahimovic could return after injury
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is close to returning to the football field.
In an interview with Milan TV, he himself wants to highlight his leadership role in the team.
– I don’t have a big ego that wants to do everything myself, says the 41-year-old according to Football-Italia.
After his World Cup break, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is supposed to be back in match form after his summer knee surgery.
The main target is to play the Champions League last 16 against Tottenham at home on February 14 and March 8.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been lauded by many for the guiding role he has taken on since returning to Milan before last season and during his rehabilitation this season.
– I am a person and a player who wants to help in every way, I don’t have a big ego that wants to do everything myself. I’m here at Milan to do everything I can to help my teammates and succeed. The help is just as important as the goal. I do everything I can to help, says Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“not fun”
On AC Milan’s TV channel he tells himself how to provide support and advice.
– I always ask them: “If you were a full-time goalkeeper with a teammate, would you score or get an assist?” If they say goals, I answer that they will have problems with me, says Zlatan Ibrahimovic, because the right mindset is to believe that the assist is as important as the goal.
According to him, he takes great pride in helping players develop and succeed.
– There are some players who go more towards the goal. In my opinion, this is not fun, because you are not a complete player at that time. Zlatan Ibrahimovic says you are complete if you raise your teammates to your level.
Coach Stefano Pioli told Sky Sport Italia that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will return to regular training with the rest of the squad at the end of December or the beginning of January.
Serie A will resume again after the World Cup, Christmas and New Year’s Eve on January 4, 2023.
