AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic is officially the president of Kings League Italia, a competition initially created for fun by Piqué and now a global phenomenon due to continuous social media interactions.
Recently, the Italian version of the 7-a-side football league was born, and RedBird's Senior Advisor has enjoyed putting together a team for this sport, as relayed via MilanPress.it.
"It will bring spectacle, showmanship, and entertainment for the fans—something they've never seen before. We're all excited. I'm happy because it's a format that's completely different from professional football, and the fans will enjoy it. If things go well... maybe I can still do something. Like Totti, we all want to get back on the pitch, but once we're out there, it's a different story."
Ibrahimovic added:
"Buffon in goal, even if his footwork wasn’t top, top. In defense, I’d pick Thiago Silva and Nesta. In midfield, Xavi, Nedved, and Iniesta. Up front, Messi. And I’ll be the coach."
