According to Antonio Vitiello in his editorial piece for Milannews.it, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has actually understood the communication error he made before the match against Liverpool and that he already 'regretted' the words spoken on TV immediately after saying them.
A manager cannot speak that way in such a delicate moment; it would have been more prudent not to use aggressive communication. "I am the boss; everyone else works for me. I’m in charge."
The tone used before the Inter match was much better. A manager must also be able to take some criticism, as it’s part of the job. Zlatan then reiterated an important concept: it's not about the 'me,' but about the team.
In fact, Milan comes before everything and it is above everyone else. This shift in attitude is a positive step for the Swede executive, who was more present at Milanello in the hours leading up to the derby.
As pointed out by Vitiello, Ibrahimovic must now be up to the role that RedBird has entrusted him with. He aims for trophies, and triumph is what matters.
For Milan fans, only winning matters, something that Gerry Cardinale has also understood. But to do so, the technical project must improve with significant investments. This also involves making the right decisions at a managerial level. Milan News writes: "We remain convinced Milan lacks a sporting director. The financial aspect is vital for a club, but the technical side cannot be overlooked."
