“I have two children in Sweden and … 25 in Milan” en

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is missing due to injury, but his influence can be seen through his absence in this year Milan. His youthful ensemble Stefanos Pioli remained undefeated in the last games of 2020 without its leader, starts the Christmas holidays from the top of Serie A and the title talk about the Rossoneri has erupted for good. The Swedish star himself, after all, considers it necessary for his team to aim high, as he stated in an in-depth and full-fledged interview in the weekly magazine “Corriere Dello Sport”.

“Imbra” talked about his experience with Covid-19, describing in detail how difficult it was mentally to endure the virus, to the point of “talking alone at home and giving names to the walls of the room” . At the same time, he expressed how much he misses his family who is in Sweden, but also the fact that Stefano Pioli has forbidden him to leave, because he has another… 25 sons who need him at the training center of Milanello.

In detail what he stated:

For Covid-19: “It simply came to our notice then. When it happened to me, at first I was calm, almost curious to see what is now called Covid. It hit the whole world, a great tragedy and now it came to me. I was home and waiting to see what would happen. I had a headache, not very strong, but annoying, it was ugly. I also lost a little of my taste. And I was home all the time, irritated, I could not go out, I could not train normally. Being alone sucks. From one point on I spoke to myself at home and gave names to the walls. The subject becomes spiritual. You look at yourself and imagine all the bad things about you, even the ones you don’t have. You are in pain for what you feel and for what you think you are feeling. This virus is miserable and should not be questioned. Distances and masks, always “.

For the Scudetto: “We have to have the courage to dream it. And I say that we can and we want to achieve even more. “We have to be hungry: every day, every moment.”

For his family: “I miss my family. Very. Really a lot. I’m exhausted, I can not stand it anymore. I would like to live with my wife and children, Maximilian and Vincent, who are 14 and 13 years old and living in Sweden. I tried to go and see them, but Pioli replied that I could not leave and that I have a family in Milan, also: he tells me that I have 2 boys there, but here 25 and they need me “.

For his philosophy: “What if I go crazy when a teammate makes a bad pass? But of course, always, even in training. The problem is the one who is not angry. What if I’m wrong? I am never wrong. Talent is only needed if you cultivate it. Work, work, work, it takes sacrifices. What are the 90 minutes of a match? Nothing, if you have trained hard every day and for many hours. I tell myself and others: Do not give up. To put it another way? If you do not give up, in the end you win “.

About when he intends to retire and the goal of the Champions League: “Everyone asks me how long I will continue to play. I answer them the same: I will continue for as long as I can do what I do now. Should I play in the Champions League? Who would not want it. “If I can stay, I will.”
