Zlatan Ibrahimovic makes no excuses: ‘We killed ourselves’
The words of Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the elimination from the Champions League
Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not hide all his disappointment to the microphones of Sky Sport after the draw between Milan and Feyenoord, which è cost the Rossoneri the elimination from the Champions League: "We are disappointed, angry. In tonight's match we è lacked maturity: we were winning 1-0, we kept playing, then Theo's expulsion, which è was very fiscal, changed the game".
"Now it will be important to think as a group, metabolize the defeat and immediately think about the championship, where important challenges await us – added the Swedish manager -. In the 180 minutes could we do more? Yes, a lot more, but then the matches must be lived and played, and these went like thisì".
More on Theo Hernandez's ejection: "I don't think it's fair to say that he's a simulator or an actor: he plays his game and tries to do the best he can, these things then happen on the field. The ’referee è was harsh on the second yellow: in a game like this; a warning in view of the next situation you give it. Instead è he was harsh and the game è changed. We are not angry with Theo, but with ourselves: we have 'killed ourselves'. We take our responsibility; and we don't look for alibis: we have to make an examination of conscience to improve immediately. The too many expulsions? Situations on the field, they can happen: in Empoli we took an unfair red".
"Today è a great disappointment to leave the Champions League: we are a great club that must try to go to the bottom of all competitions. Then clear, in January we were not satisfied, we tried to put correctives, but è it is clear that there is no guarantee of success. My goal è to see a dominant Milan again: when I came back 4/5 years ago it was not a great Milan, then it è grew and è returned to winning ways. I believe that today’s team has more chances to win than the Milan of the Scudetto: è stronger and can still grow a lot" concluded Ibrahimovic.
