“As long as I can stay fit, play and contribute, I hope to keep going. That applies to the national team, but also to Milan,” said Ibrahimovic after the 2-0 defeat against Poland. “I’ll go on as long as I can. You won’t get a different answer here because we didn’t win this game and didn’t qualify for the World Cup.”
In the run-up to the play-offs, Ibrahimovic already noted that no great performances should be expected from him. “I am an old man, but fit again. People shouldn’t count on me anymore. Attackers like Joseph Elangam, Dejan Kulusevski and Alexander Isak are the future for Sweden. I am here to help them,” he said.
Ibrahimovic came in for Poland in the 80th minute.
