How many "I"s are there in a sentence? This is Ibrahimovic. This season is undoubtedly difficult for Ibrahimovic at the competitive level, but he did not explode. He announced his decision to retire in the most peaceful and unexpected way. Milan fans don't even have to worry about him wearing a Monza uniform, become rivals.
Ibrahimovic is changing too. This time he returned to Milan for the second time, and he did not have any public conflicts with anyone in Milan. Milanello no longer has Onyewu. It is said that he and Ibrahimovic once staged a war between giants, and more than a dozen teammates worked together to pull the two apart.
Ibrahimovic is no longer surrounded by Mido, van der Vaart, Zebina and Materazzi, only Leon, Dias and Salemax, they are young people who grew up beside Zlatan, and Ibrahimovic The cloth is like a father like a son.
From being young and energetic to learning to give up
That Paolo Sorrentino movie, called Young and Young, tells the story of old people.
Today's Ibrahimovic seems to no longer have hostility. His famous collision with Lukaku was the last struggle in his long career, and the call to Charhanoglu at the championship celebration last summer was even more important. Like a masterpiece of "Zlatan humor".
This season, Ibrahimovic only played a total of 4 games for Milan, 144 minutes, and the only goal left came from a 12-yard penalty. After being injured in the national team this spring, Ibrahimovic was criticized by the Italian media. They believed that Ibrahimovic, whose physical condition is already quite fragile, should not appear in the national team at such an advanced age, but with Ibrahimovic's personal style, he has nothing to do choose.
Ibrahimovic's dictionary does not have the word "give up". The fear of retired life drove him to continue on the track of his player career, even if the train was getting slower and slower.
However, in April this year, Ibrahimovic was ready to come off the bench in the game against Lecce, but was injured again during the warm-up process. His expression was very depressed, and perhaps it was from then on that Ibrahimovic began to think about another possibility.
Monza did throw an olive branch to Ibrahimovic, and Galliani was the one who brought him back to the San Siro 13 years ago, and it was difficult for him to say no to his benefactor.
However, after thinking about it again and again, Ibrahimovic still didn't nod. With his current state, even if he really joined Monza, it would be difficult for him to play as the team's main force.
Ibrahimovic finally learned to give up. What he gave up is not only the club career, but also the 2024 European Cup that he originally planned to participate in.
What Ibrahimovic will not give up is his desire to win and his sense of humor. In the post-match farewell ceremony, Zlatan picked up the microphone, and the Verona ultra fans who had a bad relationship with Milan began booing. The most glorious moment in the movie, because you saw me."
As for the Milan fans in the audience, Ibrahimovic was full of warmth: "You open your arms to me, I will always be a Milan fan. Today I want to say goodbye to football, not you. From now on, if you are lucky enough , we should meet again!"
