AZ Alkmaar striker Boadu has hailed Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for his upturn in form after a dry run in front of goal.
The twenty-year-old while talking to Voetbal international said that Zlatan's words were in his head and made him end his mini goal drought.
Kees Kist, Ronald de Boer, his father and sister, among others, provide Boadu with advice on how to end the drought but he is most impressed by the Swedish star, with whom he rehabilitated together in the United States a few years ago.
"Zlatan told me you can say you want to become like me, but then you have to show it . I have always remembered those words. If you want to become like Zlatan, you will have to suffer."
"Self-confidence is the most important. Of course I am grateful for all the tips I get. Others would kill to get advice from these people. But in the end you have to do it yourself. On the field."
"I was particularly struck by the fact that I was on six goals for so long".
"But I was confident that the turnaround would come. I have confidence in myself and my fellow players have confidence in me. That also makes a difference. And sometimes you have to be lucky."
Due to his five goals in the last two Eredivisie games the promising striker has so far now eleven goals to his name.
