Zlatan Ibrahimović has the entire Milan environment against him, but as has often happened on the pitch, he seems not to care. Also because the Swede enjoys the trust of the only person who matters from a business and corporate standpoint: owner Gerry Cardinale. The American executive trusts the former Rossoneri superstar greatly and listens attentively to all his advice, seeing him as a potential extension of himself in the world of business connected to sport.
This morning’s edition of Tuttosport discusses the professional relationship between Zlatan Ibrahimović and Gerry Cardinale. The newspaper headlines it as follows:
"Ibrahimović, Cardinale’s lone man.”
It then continues: "Final duties before flying to the World Cup. The Swede has the environment against him but enjoys the owner’s trust: the choice of coach is up to him." It is also added regarding their relationship: "Cardinale sees him as his right-hand man even in business matters outside football."
