Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed a new contract with Milan over this season.
Because now the Swede will be sawn.
– It’s not right, says icon Zvonomir Boban.
After Milan won their first league title in over ten years, Zlatan told us that he played most of the spring season with a knee injury. The Swede then underwent surgery and is expected to be out of action until the turn of the year.
Missing several games
Therefore, the announcement that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is extending his contract with Milan over the coming season was a little unexpected. But since large parts of the autumn season are spent on the football World Cup in Qatar, “Ibra” does not miss so many matches.
But given his age, turning 41 this autumn, many raised their eyebrows when the Swede announced his decision to continue playing football.
One of these is the former great player Zvonimir Boban, who was sporting director at Milan when Zlatan returned to Italy a couple of years ago. Instead, he thinks the Swede should have put his shoes on the shelf.
Saw the Swede’s decision
– No, it’s not good, but I understand why he wants to continue because I know how he thinks, he says when the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport asks if Zlatan is doing the right thing as a player.
Bobovan also takes the opportunity to send a tribute to the Swede.
– All of us Milan fans will be eternally grateful to him. With Zlatan everything changed, he changed everything. Ibra is unique, he says.
Milan have had a good start to the new season, taking four points from the first two league games.
