Forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic assured Friday that he had signed with AC Milan to get the club he loves out of his current bad patch.
“I’m not here as a mascot to dance next to the Devil (the club mascot),” said the 38-year-old star at a press conference in Milan, a week after signing up for the Lombard club. I’m looking for the last dose of adrenaline I can get. At my age, we are looking for nothing other than a challenge, ”he added.
“Being 38 and being recruited by AC Milan is not something that happens often, coming here means that I still have something to give,” assured the one who left his mark on the club between 2010 and 2012. He then scored 56 goals in 85 games and led AC Milan to its last title of Italian champion in 2011.
“I feel more than alive”
“Ibra” finds a much more moody club, currently 11th in Serie A, closer to the relegation zone than to fourth place, qualifying for the Champions League.
“Things have to be improved on the ground and that’s why I’m here. Milan is still AC Milan and the ACM brand is something that cannot be deleted, you cannot change history. ”
I have more requests now than I was at 28, “continued the Swede, whose destination has been the subject of many rumors between his departure from the Los Angeles Galaxy in mid-November and his signature in Milan on 27 December. He is linked to the Lombard club for six months and a salary of 3.5 million euros, as well as an optional additional year.
“I’m ready, I feel more than alive, I hope to play immediately,” he said. He is expected to make his debut on Monday against Sampdoria Genoa for the 18th day of the championship. (Afp / nxp)
