Zlatan Ibrahimovic: The Boss Is Back at Milan
When the legendary striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined AC Milan as an operating partner, we all knew that fireworks were heading our way. And, boy, did he not disappoint in his latest press conference appearance.
The King of the Pitch, aka Ibra, joined an Amazon Prime panel alongside former teammates Frank Lampard and Clarence Seedorf, as well as ex-Everton and Liverpool ace Daniel Sturridge, to shed light on his new role. And boy, did he ever take charge of the conversation. When asked about his job description, Ibra unleashed his trademark charm, boasting, "I am the boss, and I am in charge. All others work for me."
Needless to say, the panel, along with anyone watching the exchange, were left in stitches. Even Ibra himself couldn’t help but crack a smile as the panel erupted into laughter.
Of course, the Ibra we love for his candor was on full display as well. When confronted about criticisms from former Milan director Zvonimir Boban, Ibra clapped back with, "When the lion goes away, the kittens arrive. When the lion comes back, the kittens disappear." He followed up with a shot across the bow at Boban, stating, "The level is very low; there is too much talk, but I only think about working."
The debate about his tenure at the club was set ablaze, and fans were both thrilled and apprehensive to see Ibra back on the sidelines, this time in an executive capacity.
Ibra, known for his ruthless determination on the pitch, now has an equally commanding presence in Milan’s boardroom. When discussing the team’s transfers, including the signing of Tammy Abraham from Roma, he quipped, "It went exactly as we wanted. Everything we looked for and was missing, we got."
There’s no doubt that with Ibra leading the charge, AC Milan is positioning itself for greatness. Given his track record, from Ajax to Manchester United to LA Galaxy, the legendary Swede’s presence only adds fuel to the engine of success.
