Ibra also added how Antonio Conte – the dream of the Devil’s fans – was never looked for: «With all due respect to him, who is a great coach, he wasn’t what we were looking for». And what was this new Milan looking for? A coach ready to work with young people, to share decisions, to stay away from controversies.
The Rossoneri team, according to Zlatan himself, will be even younger and is expected to be able to draw frequently from the newly formed Under 23 team. What, however, was perhaps most important for AC Milan fans to understand was what direction it could take the summer transfer market session.
Which squad will be made available to Fonseca? Ibrahimovic started from a premise: «Mike Maignan, Theo Hernández and also Rafael Leão remain». Then he added: «In Mike and Theo’s situations, anything is possible. If someone comes to me and says “I don’t want to stay”, it’s a problem. But the two of them are very happy, they must continue.”
Ibrahimovic also said to the fans: «We are not satisfied, we agree with them. Milan doesn’t win, Milan makes history. The next step is to strengthen the team, to win trophies in Italy and Europe. Finishing in the Top 4 is not my mentality. When I met Cardinale, I told him: “I don’t accept losing. I have to win and I will win.”
In closing, three messages from Zlatan. The first to Kia Joorabchian, agent of Joshua Zirkzee, a striker that Milan are negotiating and for whom there is a big obstacle regarding the agent’s commissions: «Zirkzee is strong but there is a list of strikers and we don’t do charity here». The second is for Francesco Camarda: «he is more talented than I was at that age but let’s go slowly». And, surprisingly, Matteo Gabbia: «he deserved the national team».
