Zlatan’s promise to the Milan players
Milan comes from a failure week where they went out to Feyenoord in the Champions League playoff and cod in the league against Torino.

He now admits that he has not been able to keep the promise to the club’s players. The reason is that his partner for 20 years, Helena victorymakes demands on him. She has come up with a statement to “Ibra”.
– Every time, when I dress as I want, Helena looks at me and says: Today you have to wear the suit. I answer why and she says: Because you have a press conference.

– All thanks to Gerry. When I stopped playing I was 42 years old and I told myself: Listen, you have to be realistic. You must accept that you are not the same anymore. The biggest problem, the real problem that every football player has is just that. Being able to accept reality and put away the ego. Understand that you have passed your best pre-date. I did it, I accepted it and then I found my peace, he tells GQ.

You need a challenge, ”Zlatan concludes.
