The AC Milan house crosses a storm. Ninth of Serie A after 30 days, nine points of a vital qualification for the Champions League, the Lombard club disappoints and worries its tifosi. In this gloomy climate, the prolonged absence of Zlatan Ibrahimović in Milanello, the training center, for almost a month, rumbled.
The Swedish, returned to the club as an influential advisor, was strongly criticized for his lack of presence with a team in difficulty. Some criticize him for a lack of investment, or even for disinterested in the fate of the club, while others point to his choices for the succession of Stefano Pioli, judging that the chosen coaches failed. Knowing the well -tempered character of Ibra, a scathing reaction was expected. She arrived.
Zlatan's truth about his absence.
Faced with these criticisms and persistent rumors of internal tensions, even a departure, Zlatan Ibrahimović spoke on Dazn. But rather than a fiery rant, the Swedish first delivered a factual explanation concerning his absence. “The truth is that I was sick (…) I had a virus and I even lost three kilos“, He revealed, not without a hint of initial humor on a failed haircut. Far from fleeing his responsibilities, he then swept the doubts about his commitment: “But now I'm here and present. I am here to help everyone, on and off the field. I am the present and the future of Milan. »» He also took the opportunity to firmly deny any friction with the managing director Giorgio Furlani: “I read that someone said I was arguing with Furlani, but everything is false and invented. I'm talking to Furlani every day. »»
Disease and denial: Ibra's development
This development therefore calms the game on its physical absence and rumors of departure or internal conflict. By declaring himself as “The present and the future of Milan”,
Zlatan reaffirms his involvement. However, this intervention, centered on its personal situation, does not directly address criticism of sports choices or the deep results crisis that the team is going through. His will displayed
“To help everyone” will now be judged on parts by supporters in the right to wait for strong acts to straighten the bar.
Zlatan Ibrahimović is therefore back, visible and communicating. He provided an explanation for his absence and reaffirmed his total commitment to the Milanese project. If the shape was more sober than his character could let the message be reassuring. It remains to be seen how this presence and this desire displayed will translate concretely to help AC Milan save its season and avoid an industrial disaster by missing the Champions League.
