From the pages of Corriere della Sera, Christian Vieri praised AC Milan's Swede champion, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. This is what he said:
"At 39 years old he took most of the defenders of our league to school. He is still unmatched when he is served in a certain way in the last meters. Zlatan has impressive numbers. In addition to that, his contribution goes beyond just scoring goals. We are talking about a true leader, one who raises the overall level of training."
"Zlatan has character and charisma. He forces the rest of the group to go beyond their abilities. He actually helps to speed up the insertion and growth of the younger players."
