Currently, the AC Milan club is participating in a tour in the US. Here, coach Fonseca and his team will have friendly matches with many fierce opponents such as Man City, Barcelona and Real Madrid. During the tour, in addition to the players and coaches, the presence of advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic is indispensable.
In an interview with CBS Mornings, the former Swedish player shared what it feels like to hold the new position. “I can say that playing football is easier than what I'm doing right now,” he said. I'm still trying to stay humble and learn. It's a new perspective, different from what I'm used to. But I have a lot of good people supporting me."
When he was a player, Ibrahimovic was famous as a "mercenary", when he played for 9 different teams. However, the Swedish legend has the greatest affection for AC Milan, with 183 appearances and now choosing to be an advisor to the Rossoneri.
Ibrahimovic expressed his desire to help young players. “As long as they win, it's okay, the problem only comes when they start losing,” he said. The problem is that I can't influence the game like before. You need to pass on your mentality, mood and experience to the young players."
In the football world, Ibrahimovic has always been famous for his arrogance. He believes that confidence is extremely important in football, especially for young players: "Many people ask me if I'm acting, but no. What you see is what you get. Where I come from, it's important to always have confidence.
You have to stand up for yourself. You want to prove you are the best.”
