Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Senior Advisor at RedBird for AC Milan, was interviewed by Prime Video before the Champions League match against Feyenoord. Here are the Swede’s words from "De Kuip."
Can we talk about a '4-2-fantasy' today?
"That’s how it is today. But everyone attacks and everyone defends. Each player has their own responsibilities. The coach makes the decisions, and today he chose this way."
There was a strong desire in the transfer market to bring Milan back to where it belongs...
"As I’ve said a couple of times, we weren’t satisfied or happy with the situation. Now we are confident—this team must carry Milan forward."
The new signings have brought enthusiasm, Ibrahimovic replied:
"That’s for sure—five new players who have brought something different. A fresh injection of energy, it gives you a boost. When you win, everything is positive; when you lose, it’s the opposite. We are trying to maintain consistency and win games to build confidence and rhythm. Today is the first leg, one match out of two."
Can João Félix take some of the technical responsibility off Rafael Leão? Having both in the team, can it help reduce the double-marking and pressure on him?
"Everyone has their own responsibilities. Obviously, people talk about Leão—he’s one of the best in the world. But it’s not like João Félix is coming to take responsibility away from him—he still has them. But it doesn’t depend only on those two; there are many others who share the responsibility of delivering results. Plus, they play in different roles and are completely different players."
