He does not belong to the Milan management, but he is increasingly central in Milan: participation in the London forum with Cardinale (and related investiture) and the fresh words on Pioli from the Saudi Arabian GP help to understand the evolution of Zlatan’s new role :
Those who thought – few, to be honest: only those who don’t know him well – that Zlatan would immediately take on Zlatan’s shoes in his new role, had to think again. Intelligent people, even when they say they resemble God, know that to deal with something new you need to study. Start on tiptoe. On the other hand, he himself said it in the last few hours: “I’m growing, learning and working. One day at a time, I always make steps forward and we get better.” Impeccable approach. But, at the same time, it is equally true that Ibra, being reasonably smart, learns quickly. And he knows how to immerse himself well – above all naturally – into roles in which he is placed at the center of the project. Z is a frontman natural, that he is on the Ariston stage as well as next to Gerry Cardinale. And those who initially were unable to look beyond the big words of the official press release of December 11th in which the AC Milan Ibra-ter was made official, are now starting to understand the way in which the Swede moves. And in what areas.
