Those tears of Ibrahimovic that make him a little more human

Also Zlatan Ibrahimovic cries. You never stop discovering sides of the Swedish champion of Milan who has depopulated on the Sanremo stage, is scoring like no other in Serie A at 39 and has returned to play for the national team five years after leaving. Zlatan can do it all, he explained to Ariston a few weeks ago. “Doing nothing is the biggest mistake that can be made. If Zlatan gets it wrong, you can get it wrong too. The important thing is to make a difference, every day ».

So Ibra can also cry. Especially speaking of the sons. He did so in the first press conference on his return to the national team. The striker spoke of his son Vincent who misses his father: the boy is in Sweden, Ibra plays in Italy with Milan. ‘How did they take my return to Sweden? I had Vincent here who was really crying when I left. But now it’s okay…. ». And here they came tears even to dad who told about his distant children. “I have two little ones at home kicking the ball, my wife asks me to tell them to stop but I say no, we can buy new things if they break …”.

Just a parenthesis, the tears. Ibrahimovic is still him, charged and combative. He went back to wearing the Sweden shirt, he specified it immediately, for merit, not for fame. “If I’m here, it’s not because my name is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but because I’ve proven that I deserve to be there, everything I’ve done before means nothing. I feel fit, I want to be involved and I feel I can still contribute to the good of the national team. I’m just a piece of the puzzle here, if you ask me I’m the best in the world, but that doesn’t help here. “

He would have no problem starting from the bench, he is here to help the team. He does not expect anything and the captain is Granqvist. Humble, almost to the point of not looking like him. Then place the joke on the number 11 jersey: «I kindly asked Isak to borrow it, he can get it back when I leave, in 6-7 years …».

Here he is Ibra as from the stage of Sanremo. Nothing is impossible. «Commitment, dedication, perseverance, concentration. I organized this Festival to tell you that each of you, in your small way – and I said in your small way – can be Zlatan. You are all Zlatan, and I am all of you… Everyone already knew Zlatan, before this Festival. Why did he come here then? Because Zlatan likes challenges, adrenaline ». It is valid for Sanremo and for the national team.
