Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ready to return to Milan's disposal, starting with Friday evening's match against Turin.
In an interview with Sport Mediaset, the Swedish striker spoke of his imminent return to the field: "I'm still God, I'm still number 1: now I'm back and change the music".
After the long stop following knee surgery, the day after the Scudetto victory, Ibrahimovic is determined not to waste any more time: "I really want to do many things, what I've lost in recent months".
The team's difficult moment doesn't seem to bother him: "I'm not worried, they are normal moments within a championship - he continues - Now we have to talk little and demonstrate our value on the pitch. Criticism? It's normal, because if they don't criticize you, they won't you are at the top.
I've been criticized for 25 years because I'm number 1, I'm used to it". In his statements to Sport Mediaset, Ibrahimovic also spoke of Rafael Leao: "He had a fantastic year, he won the best player award in the league.
Then the contract, other clubs looking for you, the World Cup and all the rest.
But he has to stay focused and play football."
Four days after returning to the Milanello meadows after a long injury, Zlatan Ibrahimovic sees the possibility of a first call-up.
Which could materialize as early as Friday evening, on the occasion of the internal match against Turin.
The Swede has done the work with the group and could already answer Pioli's call, to also be physically close to the team in this difficult moment.
Although he has a forcibly reduced playing time in his legs due to the long stop, the return of Ibrahimovic (excluded from the list of players who can be called up in the Champions League) would represent an important injection of confidence for a group grappling with an extremely complicated period in terms of results.
