“Ibrahimovic?
Yes, he was exhausted, he asked me to go out but I didn't listen to him!
His mental contribution is fundamental ”, underlined Rossonero coach Stefano Pioli after the success of AC Milan 2-1 (a double for the Swede) in the 4th day of Serie A (the first victory since 2016 for AC Milan in the league in the Madonnina derby against Inter) which leads the team in the lead of the Italian championship (with 12 points, AC Milan is now the only leader in Serie A, with 3 points ahead, after the slap received by Atalanta in Naples 4-1).

A situation that makes Zlatan Ibrahimovic happy (forced to quarantine between September 24 and October 9) who took the opportunity to make… Ibrahimovic.
In front of the microphones and on social networks.
He assured
Sky Italia
: “The team is growing a lot, the young people are training very well.
I feel that I have a lot of responsibilities because I am the leader.
But everyone is hungry and they want to win.
This derby was very important, a derby that AC Milan had not won for four years (January 2016).
I was hungry, and I showed it.
No, I was not afraid of the Covid-19.
I was doing tests every three days, but I couldn't miss the derby.
The title ?
We are only at the beginning, the team is doing very great things.
The mentality has evolved, young people take responsibility and make sacrifices. ”
Returning to his career in recent years, complicated by a knee injury, the former player of Paris SG, Manchester United and Los Angeles Galaxy said from the top of his 39 years: "I did not know if I should stop or not, but (Mino) Raiola (his agent) told me it was too easy to end like this.
Milan arrived (season 2019-2020) and I went there.
Now I feel like a lion with a lot of experience.
If I had the condition I had when I was 20, no one would stop me.
But they don't stop me anyway… ”
