No one denies the quality and abilities of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is 40 years old but he has brought so much to the table since his return to the AC Milan club in January 2020.
The Swede veteran proved to be important as he helped the youngsters grow thanks to his experience. Now, the squad has a collective courage and ambition that pushes to perform well.
This notion is echoed by Calciomercato.com who explain that Zlatan was decisive many times for Stefano Pioli's team. The former Inter and Ajax star helped build this current squad mentality and relaunch the club on a sporting level.
Now, however, it seems clear that the Rossoneri team does not cling a lot to Zlatan Ibrahimovic anymore because there are important weapons such as the experienced World Cup and Champions League winner Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao who is unleashing his talent this season.
In fact, AC Milan managed to collect many points this season and even last season even when the 40-year-old was unavailable for one reason or another.
