Olivier Giroud talks about Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The former AC Milan striker, interviewed by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sportfocused on the Swede, now manager of the Rossoneri: “Did he say that he is the boss? And where is the news? Ibra is Ibra, even as a manager. He knows football very well and Milan above all. If you choose Zlatan, as he has RedBird done, you have to trust: Ibra must have carte blanche.”
The champions didn’t start well.
“The new formula gives time to recover. Milan must be ambitious: aiming for the Champions League is a duty. The squad is deep and the attack is of a high level. Maybe he will have to find balance but now he can work with serenity. It’s the right year to make a good journey.”
What couple is Morata-Abraham?
“They work great. I’ve known Tammy since his Chelsea days, he has desire and determination. Alvaro brought Spanish culture: not just goals, he is a 9 who moves back, builds, facilitates maneuvering, links the attack and midfield.”
We know that you would like to become a sporting director in the future: what if one day you return to Milan like this?
“Milan is one of the greatest clubs in the world and I experienced unforgettable moments with that shirt. I would be very happy. But I don’t want problems with my friend Ibra eh! I will certainly always remain a great Rossoneri fan.”
