Il Corrriere dello Sport writes today that in recent days, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has tried to motivate the players in view of the important match against Inter tomorrow. The goal is to save face in a game where the Rossoneri are clear underdogs and risk suffering their seventh consecutive defeat in the derby, something that has never happened in the history of the Milanese rivalry.
The Swede, through individual talks, has attempted to inspire the players, and even yesterday, he encouraged the group in hopes of eliciting a positive reaction tomorrow night at San Siro.
Zlatan is being held accountable by the fans and critics for backing the wrong candidate in June to replace Stefano Pioli. With many available coaches, some much more experienced and with winning track records, the management chose Paulo Fonseca, fully accepting the risks of such a preference. But it seems that the moment of judgment has already arrived.
