Pioli about Zlatan

The Milan coach Stefano Pioli has in a recent interview highlighted the importance that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 41, had for the team and that he is looking forward to get his star back in the beginning of 2023 after the seven months break due to knee surgery after a serious injury.

Pioli: ”I think Ibra has superior intelligence and he has able to adapt to a situation that he had never experienced before. When Zlatan arrived [in January 2020], no one thought Milan could win the title, he was smart enough to understand when to intervene, sometimes being tough and other times sympathetic, to help his teammates” says the coach.

’He is never satisfied and that is his strength, he always demands more from himself and by doing so he wants the same from others. Hopefully he’ll be back soon. He wakes up in the morning and knows that he has to give everything to get the best out of it. When he is focused on something, he gives everything to achieve his goal,”
