Zlatan Ibrahimovic, RedBird’s Senior Advisor for AC Milan, has written the foreword for the book ‘Il Milan nel mondo’, published by Giunti.
Here are his words:
“Milan is the most important team of my life. It is also the only one that convinced me to return. During my career, I wore legendary shirts, played in wonderful cities and won everywhere. But Milan was something different. It was the only club capable of truly calling me back, the only one for which I felt the need to start again. Convincing Zlatan to return is not easy. It is not easy for anyone. Yet, with Milan, it has happened more than once. This means that a bond has been created between me and these colours that goes beyond football, beyond trophies and even beyond time.”
Ibrahimovic concluded his foreword with an ode to Milan:
“Victories remain in the record books; some teams, however, stay inside you. Milan belongs to this category. The first time, Milan gave me happiness; the second time, love. In the red and black shirt, I found a sense of belonging that is increasingly rare in modern football. Because starting an adventure with a club can happen. Returning for a second time, and then again, means that the club and its fans have become part of you. Milan are the most successful Italian club at international level, but they are not just a collection of trophies. They are an identity. They are a way of being in football and in the world. Wherever they go, they leave a mark. And those who join Milan sometimes never leave again," as relayed via Milan News.
