Ibrahimovic believes Milan ‘represent’ Italian football globally: “Do not look at others” | OneFootball

Despite going through a very difficult season, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has stated that he feels AC Milan are the ‘representatives’ of Italian football for the world to see.

By all accounts, this season has been a torrid one for Milan. When it has mattered most, the Rossoneri have often been sub-standard, and this has caused a great amount of damage to the club. With the possibility of another reset at the end of this season, there is definitely a lot of room for error.

It is a situation that everyone will be keen to avoid, and the Diavolo will look to their stars for the remainder of the season, and betterment in their own performances will only help their and the club’s reputation.

Amid the chaos, Ibrahimovic has spoken to GQ about the season and the club under RedBird – who have been widely criticised recently.

On RedBird’s Milan…

“Milan is the most famous club in Italy. We represent Italian football in the world. DNA, mentality, pedigree. The numbers speak for themselves. Everyone talks about us. And if they talk about us, it means we are doing something great. A new mentality.

“Our management is young, international. People with different visions, and different ambitions: there is hunger. And this is incredible. We are not afraid. This is our strength. We do what we believe in, without fear, without limits, we do things our own way.

“We do not look at others. We move forward, always. Whatever wall we find in front of us? We break it down. And trust me: we are rock and roll. Always aiming for results. We are the new school.”

If the season ends with the Rossoneri not getting Champions League football, it is certainly not a good representation of the club, that much is for sure.
