Video: Ibrahimovic urges people to follow Coronavirus guidance – “You are not Zlatan”

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has sent a clear and strong message to those who think they do not need to wear face masks during the current COVID pandemic.

The striker tested positive for Coronavirus a few weeks ago and missed several games, but has since returned to full health and has recorded three braces in his three Serie A starts so far this season.

However, the 39-year-old has warned his followers on Instagram that they are not like him and that challenging the virus by now wearing a mask is a bad idea.

“The virus challenged me and I defeated it,” he says in Italian.

“But you are not Zlatan. Do not challenge the virus. Use your head, respect the rules. Social distancing and masks, always. We will win.”
