Zlatan Ibrahimovic tore his anterior cruciate ligaments and underwent surgery this season, and will, all in all, miss almost an entire season. AC Milan’s striker is expected to step on the field in the first part of 2023, but until then, he is recovering from the injury and he is active on social media, since he does have a lot of free time. So, the French TV channel CANAL+ decided to ask him a few questions, and as you can imagine, he was very provocative with his answers, criticizing Kylian Mbappe, Pep Guardiola and French journalists and praising Karim Benzema and Erling Haaland.🎙️ Zlatan Ibrahimović: “Kylian Mbappé did not make the right choice for him, but for PSG yes. Because he has put himself in a situation where he is bigger than the club and the club gave him the keys for that. But you’re never bigger than the club.” pic.twitter.com/rsUd6Gf3dm— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) November 2, 2022 Even thou a Kylian Mbappe renewal with PSG came and went months ago, the journalists still wanted to know Ibra’s opinion on the matter and the Swede hold no punches.“Mbappe, as a person I do not know him very well. As a player, he is fantastic. But when you lose discipline you lose your identity. He made the right choice for Paris not for himself. Because he put himself in a situation where he is more important than the club. And the club gave him the keys for that. But you are never bigger than a club. But when a child becomes strong, he can easily earn money. So his parents become lawyers, agents, coaches. From one thing they become another. And that’s the problem. That’s when you lose your self-discipline and who you are. Today with this new generation, the parents, dad, mom who you want, they think they have become stars. They talk in the newspapers. But who do you think you are? Shut up. It is up to your son, the player, to work and have discipline” said Ibrahimovic.Totti’s advice to Ibrahimovic: Listen to me, don’t rust on the bench while the world passes you byMilan’s striker also wanted to point out he was right about Karim Benzema when asked about him last time.“If we go back, during the World Cup in Russia, I said that Benzema deserved to be in the selection and the French journalists attacked me. What are they saying now? They lick Benzema’s ass? I’m not afraid to say these words, because when I was in the beIN Sports studios, during the World Cup, they asked me about Karim. I said he deserved to be selected and they attacked me because France won the World Cup. Yes, but if France hadn’t won with this team, it would have been a failure. And now that he has won the Ballon d’Or, what are the media saying in France?” said Zlatan.Me to retire? Sure, once you show me a stronger playerSo far, the number one striker in Europe is certainly Erling Haaland, who is scoring goals with ease in the strongest European league. And Ibrahimovic had only good things to say about him, but used the opportunity to take a swipe at his old coach from Barcelona, Pep Guardiola.“I think he’s a very smart player. He doesn’t do the things he can’t do. He does not go down to get the ball to play. He doesn’t come down to make lucky charms. He waits in front of the goal and he kills them all. He reminds me of players like Inzaghi, Trezeguet, Bobo Vieri. It’s a new version of these players. Can he progress even more? It depends on Guardiola’s ego, whether he lets him get bigger than him or not” replied Ibrahimovic.##NAJAVA_MECA_6777599##
