MilanNews reports how Stefano Pioli and his staff will have to work hard this week to right the wrongs from the draw against Salernitana and produce a more polished and assured performance against Udinese on Friday, one with an increased focus and a better mentality.
There are certainly still reminders that Ibrahimovic is still an important element of this team, because even though the young squad has learned to win without the Swedish striker, the psychological impact that Zlatan has on the opposing defenders and also on his team-mates is huge.
Ibra should be able to take part in the games against Napoli and Atalanta which will be huge in the title race, but it is against the teams outside the top seven where the Rossoneri may win or lose their current ranking.
Ibrahimovic has been unavailable since the home draw against Juventus on 23 January due to an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, but when he is back it should be a boost to the whole environment, because he will constantly remind the squad that focus cannot be allowed to drop at any point.
