Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be switching roles: the head of RedBird, who attended the 4-0 victory against Venezia at San Siro on Saturday evening, left yesterday, while the Swede, after two weeks of absence, has returned to Milan and will already be at Milanello today to support Paulo Fonseca’s team ahead of tomorrow night's Champions League debut against Liverpool at the Meazza.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic in direct line with Paulo Fonseca and Gerry Cardinale...
As reported by today’s edition of Tuttosport, even during his time away from Milan, the Swede maintained a direct line of communication with the Portuguese coach. After the wide victory over Venezia, there was also contact between the two to discuss the first win of the season for the Rossoneri. Ibrahimovic's absence made quite a stir over the last two weeks, especially given Milan's difficult and disappointing start to the season, having secured just two points in the first three league matches prior to the 4-0 win over the Venetians.
Ibrahimovic's presence is important for the Milan team
Now the Swede is back, and his presence alongside the coach and the entire Rossoneri squad will undoubtedly be crucial in the next two highly important matches awaiting Milan, against Liverpool (tomorrow) and Inter (on Sunday).
The win against Venezia has restored some confidence and calm to the team, but something more than what was seen against Di Francesco's side will surely be needed for the challenges against the Reds and in the derby.
