Zlatan Ibrahimovic was re-introduced as a Milan player on Friday, and as usual continued to deliver self-love pearls.

"At 38 I had more demand than at 28," the striker added, "I told myself: 'Either I will sign the most expensive contract and meet the maximum or take on the biggest challenge.' It was not a difficult decision. 2012, it happened without my consent. Milan is my second home, it gave me happiness to play football. "

He said of the group's situation: "It's hard for me to answer what didn't work because on the outside you don't know what's going on inside. From the outside you only see results. But Milan is always Milan, in the United States, too."

"I haven't seen many players at the age of 38 returning to clubs in this situation. But they took me and that means they believe in me. I'm happy to be here, it's a test for me to figure out if I can still do things right," he concluded.

On Monday, Zlatan will make his debut in the current term, with Milan hosting the Sampdoria as part of the 18th round in the Serie A.
