Ibrahimovic and the future: ‘I can only continue if I’m fine. And Milan … ‘

One thing is certain: it will be a rather complicated decision. But on the other hand, it had already been understood for some time, that is every time Ibrahimovic touches his own future. With three games left in the championship and on the threshold of a summer in which he will have to understand the best choice for him, Zlatan has addressed the subject again in an interview with Espn. And he confirms himself as a very, very conflicted person.

Fun

“I’m close to the goal line. I’m a little scared: if I have to stop, what do I do? What would the next chapter be? I know the various possibilities, I could do many things, but the adrenaline I have now on the pitch I don’t know if I could find it elsewhere. I’m trying to postpone the goal line, playing and scoring goals. Obviously to continue playing I have to be physically well, I have to be able to do it, I have to be able to have fun playing. There is no point in playing if you suffer too much, it is better to be realistic and say to yourself: ‘That’s enough’. And you start a new chapter. But if you are focused on this you are not focused on the rest. In my head there is not this. If I thought about my retirement, I would not be able to help my teammates and myself in doing what I would like. The footballers follow the same program every day. And I’ve been doing it for 25 years. You are like a soldier. I am close to this line, but not yet ”.

Leader

Here you are. There are parts in which optimism prevails and others in which the awareness of a possible end-of-stroke eats up everything else. Understandable, at the end of a career like his. Zlatan says about his injuries: “I’m frustrated because I would like to be on the pitch every game. I love to play, the adrenaline I get when I go out on the pitch is incredible. If I can’t play, I try to help the team in another way by giving support to my teammates. The most important thing is the team ”. And as for Milan: “In our dressing room there are many young people, I try to help everyone and to be the leader in my own way both on and off the pitch. When I’m on the pitch I try to help them, when I’m off I try to give all my support. The team is working hard, we are at the top of the standings and we need to stay focused. In football, many things can change from week to week “.
