But it was not entirely obvious that it would be football for him.
– I hated it (soccer). Everything was wrong, I was always compared to my dad so it was just wrong. Then I found the love for the sport, Maximilian said about the relationship with the sport during childhood.
Now Leo Borg appeals to Maximilian Ibrahimovic and gives his best advice to someone he can relate to a lot.
– We are in the same position with a famous father. You have to try to focus on yourself and your own development. Personally, I tend to play a little better when I’m under pressure and hopefully he feels the same. But you have to focus on your own development and your own thing, he tells the betting site.
