Jakarta –
Football enthusiast knows who Zlatan Ibrahimovic. But can you see that now there are red marks on her cheeks? Here’s the story behind it.
The red mark on the cheek of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s most recent one was clearly visible in the Italian League Serie A match at the weekend, when he was defending AC Milan in the match against Napoli. There is a red mark on his right cheek.
Apparently, the red mark has its own special meaning. His presence on Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s cheek is to raise awareness of cases of domestic violence against women.
According to Sportbible, this movement was initiated by the Italian humanitarian organization, WeWorld Onlus, the footballers’ association, and the Lega Serie A.
That’s why don’t be surprised if there are red marks on the faces of players and referees in Serie A games at the weekend, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
It is further stated, this kind of thing is actually not a strange sight. Serie A players have also done something similar in recent times, after the declaration to fight violence against women in April and November 2018.
“The motto of this campaign is ‘give a red card for violence’, which in the process brings out red marks on the faces of footballers when they appear on the pitch.”
Before coming down to compete, a number of footballers also posted photos of themselves and their partners. There were red marks on the faces of the players, along with the hashtag ‘UnRossoAllaViolenza’.
Special Zlatan Ibrahimovic himself, with a red mark on his face, the 39-year-old Swedish forward scored twice in the 3-1 win for AC Milan over Napoli. The result made the Rossoneri topped the Italian League standings in Serie A.
