Two evenings ago, in Turin, the Kings League Italia was presented. This seven-a-side football tournament, organized by Gerard Piqué, has garnered significant success in recent years, offering a game with unique rules tailored for a television show atmosphere.
Among those in attendance was Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who serves as the President of the Italian edition of the tournament.
Italian journalist, Fabrizio Biasin, shared his perspective on the Swedish star's involvement in the event and his role in the organization in his editorial on Tuttomercatoweb.com.
Here's what he said about Ibrahimovic's involvement:
"Zlatan, the former 'God' of San Siro and now a jack-of-all-trades executive, takes to philosophising at the Kings League. Let's be clear, Ibra speaking into a microphone, laughing, and cracking jokes is always entertaining—but maybe not so much for Milan fans."
He added:
"While Ibrahimovic enjoys his role as an ambassador for a tournament that feels like a mix between friendly five-a-side games and It’s a Knockout, Rossoneri supporters feel a bit betrayed. They had hoped their idol, now wearing a suit and tie, would dedicate himself entirely to the club. Instead, they see him engaged in projects that, however innovative, have absolutely nothing to do with Milan. A little more Milanismo and a little less Kings League wouldn’t hurt."
