There is a surprise guest at Milanello today, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shown up at the training ground on the eve of the Newcastle United game.
The Milan squad are in a delicate moment after they lost the derby 5-1 against Inter on Saturday evening and they need an instant response. Who better to come in and instil some confidence than Zlatan, who retired at the end of last season but clearly still feels a responsibility to be by the side of the young team.

I hope he put some sense to Pioli.
Our chances of winning tomorrow just increased. Zlatan puts black into Black & Red of Milan ⚫️🔴
Glad they bring Ibra after this humiliation to talk some sense to Pioli and the team. He should be more involved with the team.
So the real manager responsible for the scudetto arrives….
The BOSS is at home
Welcome back to the red and black legend ibra.
Even he knows Pioli is a joke, so he’s coming to help. Legend
That escalated quickly…
So Ibra has to return for the team to gets its mojo? Hmm…
Last time Zlatan came back we received a five goal thrashing from Atalanta. And his coming back brought a resurgence.
Hope this coming back would spice things up too🙏.
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
They called in the reinforcements 😂
I wonder if God is there to sign as a player? lol
I see management realized that having club symbols around might be a good thing during rocky moments.
All jokes aside, This looks really bad imo. Pioli needed to steady the ship on his own. All this does is confirm or reinforce the idea that it was either Ibra or Maldini who steadied the ship during rough times and calls into question his ability in that aspect as a coach. I wouldn’t have wanted Ibra there if I were him
As if it was ever a doubt, Ibra won us scudetto both on and off the pitch and Pioli just got carried along for the ride.
I do wonder if he’s being lined up……..
