Journalist and pundit, Luigi Garlando, has criticised AC Milan following their defeat against Paris Saint-Germain. The Italian's words were published by La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
Here are his statements:
"The absence of the club, of an authoritative figure who could explain, comment, and calm things down in a clearer way than the players can do in the heat of the moment, was felt. Today, who can do it? But there is someone who could: Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He arrived at Milanello in January 2020 in a moment of great emergency, he can return now, in a different role, in an equally delicate situation."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is missed... The journalist continued to say the following:
"He can re-establish with Pioli the dual command, with different competencies, that brought the championship. He can bring back ferocity, self-esteem, and prospects to a locker room that is at risk of collapse after the derby, Juve, and PSG."
He continued:
"Ibrahimovic can be the tough and authoritative face to show outside in moments of difficulty, the strong man who is missing, capable of protecting the team and the club, but also of using his charisma with the institutions. Zlatan is trying to figure out what to do while retired."
