Ibrahimovic is grateful to Ajax: ‘They showed me to the world’ | Football

That’s what Ibrahimovic told on Thursday evening in HLF8. “Ajax has shaped me into who I am. They showed me to the world and that has always had an impact.” When asked whether he sees a return to the Johan Cruijff ArenA, he had to laugh. “I don’t think I’m good enough as a player anymore, but why not?”

He was also candid about the pain he has been playing with in recent years. “I thought I was Superman. At a certain age I found out that I am not: I have to pay more attention to my body than I used to.”

“Whenever I wake up, the first five to ten minutes are tough,” the AC Milan player continues. “Every morning I notice that it takes a few minutes before I can get up. Pain no longer disappears after your thirties.”
