Zlatan Ibrahimovic is no newcomer to Milanello, far from it. However, that is a must for Milan in their current situation. The current state of affairs could be attributed to the lack of the Swede’s presence and leadership, or maybe even the lack of Paolo Maldini around Milanello.
However, the concrete information is this. Improvement is needed, and quickly. And RedBird believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the correct man to assist the Rossoneri in this current moment, as he has done so often in the past. Arriving in his new ‘dual role’ allows Zlatan several powers in the operations of the Diavolo and RedBird.
The journalist Carlo Nesti has discussed the needs and wishes brought by the Swede’s return, and his comments were relayed by MilanNews.
“Zlatan must be a support for Pioli, without Pioli losing credibility in the locker room.
“In truth, Milan of today still needed an Ibra on the pitch, given Giroud’s 37 years of age and the lack of alternatives,” he said.
Whilst he may not be able to assist Milan anymore on the pitch, he can help those who will represent the Rossoneri. Assisting with their abilities but also the mental conditions needed to represent Milan.
