Zlatan Ibrahimovic won the league with Milan.
Then he took the opportunity to pay tribute to Mino Raiola.
But he also gave him – of course with a twinkle in his eye – a small boot.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mino Raiola had a special band. Zlatan chose Mino as an agent in the early 00’s, and several times the Swede has said that it only clicked from the first moment, and since then they supported each other in wet and dry.
Tribute to Mino
But in recent years, Raiola had health problems, and earlier in May he passed away after a period of illness. When Milan on Sunday got to celebrate their first Serie A title in twelve years, it was emotional for Ibrahimovic.
The Swede was quick to dedicate the title to his old weapon bearer.
– It was he who wanted me to go to Milan. I was on my way to Naples but he said I was the only one who could save Milan. I dedicate the trophy to him, says Ibrahimovic.
The clean fit
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has an expiring contract and his future in the football world is uncertain. After the title on Sunday, Ibra was asked what Mino Raiola had said if he was still alive.
Then came a clean cock from Zlatan.
– He had said: “Let’s play for another 10 years, and win a little more money”, says Ibra, according to Football-Italia.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic himself says that a decision on his future will come soon, but so far nothing has been decided. There is much to suggest that he has now done his part, especially when he chose to bring the match ball from the arena, something you otherwise, in normal cases, only do when you have done a hat trick.
