He took advantage of his time on Sky Sport Italia to discuss the Fonseca situation. “We work as before, that does not change. Fonseca has to be himself, they (the players) have to resolve some things internally, they are professionals. Some situations are dynamic, they are not predictable. When this happens, you have to see how you react. The important thing is to be professional on the ground», Continues Ibrahimovic who hopes to see an improvement in C1. “We have to go as far as possible, we have created a team that must do well in Italy and in Europe.
