Zlatan Ibrahimovic reveals what happened with Rafael Leao in Turin
Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave a long interview to Gazzetta dello Sport: “The club has added what was missing, now there is a figure who is always in contact with players and coach, it is Igli Tare and he does it well”.
“I come here to Casa Milan, sometimes I go to Milanello: I talk every day with Furlani and with Gerry who is very involved, we study what is needed to improve Milan, we make strategies, in the end Gerry decides, however he trusts very much who is in the company – explained the Rossoneri ownership consultant -. And then I am also involved in the corporate part and in the entertainment area of RedBird. I am a person who, if I don’t know something, just shut up, watch and learn. Of course in other areas I have more experience and I speak more, or a lot more”.
“Milan’s DNA is to win, especially in Europe, and there we must return. Nobody wants to change Milan, its culture or its tradition. Also because I give you a rule: nobody changes Milan, it is Milan that changes you. In Milanello you smell victory, after you’ve been there you don’t stay the same player. At Milanello, from the cook to the gardener, everyone makes sure that Allegri and the team can express themselves at their best”.
Closing remarks on Leao: “In Turin I was in the locker room. Everyone was angry, everyone, Allegri, because you could win. And also Leao who had missed two goals. Let’s remember that during the preparation he was the best, then he was out two months, now he has to return to form. Clear that we expect magic, because Leao is magic! Clear that we will always talk about him, because he is one of the strongest players in the world and I am not saying this for marketing, but because I played soccer. I saw him as a kid, now he has two children: it’s a path. They say he is already 26 years old, but I became mature at 28. And anyway when we won the Scudetto I can say he won it by himself…”.
