Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic intends to play football for as long as he can. The 40-year-old Swedish national team member admitted that he was a little afraid of the end of his career. At the same time, he hopes to finish it in the current AC Milan site, with which he wants to win the Italian league.
“I want to play for as long as possible. As long as I have the adrenaline in it, I will continue,” Ibrahimovic said on Sunday’s talk show Che Tempo Che Fa. “I wake up every morning with pain, but I still have certain goals. You have to get used to it and turn that pain into positive energy,” said a native of Malmö.
His current contract with AC, where he returned at the end of 2019, will expire after this season. “Let’s put pressure on Milan to extend my contract. I hope to stay in Milan forever. I still have goals I can achieve. I want to win another scudetto,” Ibrahimovic said.
With “Rossoneri” he won Serie A in the year 2010/11, with the city rival Inter he previously won three titles. AC Milan leads the Italian league by 16 points ahead of the defending champion Inter after 16 laps. In addition to the domestic competition, the charges of coach Stefan Pioli are also fighting for the first promotion to the elimination phase of the Champions League after eight years. In addition, in Tuesday’s final duel of Group B, they must defeat the 100% Liverpool and at the same time hope for a draw in a parallel duel between Porto and Atlétic Madrid.
Ibrahimovic does not yet know what he will do after his career. “I’m a little scared at the end. We’ll see. I want to continue my career so I don’t regret anything,” said former Ajax player Amsterdam, Turin’s Juventus, Barcelona, Paris St. Germain or Manchester United.
In the spring of this year, he returned to the Swedish national team after almost five years, but lost his European Summer Championship due to injuries. The Northerners will challenge at home on March 24 in the semifinals of the playoffs to participate in the World Championships in Qatar Czechia. The winner of the duel will face the best of Russia-Poland five days later in the final. One of these units will play at home. Ibrahimovic, with historically the best Swedish scorer, will lose the duel with the Czechs due to the yellow cards from the qualification.
