Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Saturday dismissed the idea of a retirement in a video a bit megalomaniac of which he has the secret, two weeks after having left the doubt on his future.
"So you think I'm finished, that my career is going to end soon. You don't know me," said the 38-year-old Swedish striker at the start of this short video posted on his Instagram account, where he speaks slowly in his bass voice over images of his most spectacular goals.
"I only have one thing to say to you. I am not like you, because I am not you. I am Zlatan Ibrahimovic and I am only warming myself up," he concludes, with his usual sense of measure, four days after the announcement of the extension of the contract of AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli, with whom he maintains a good relationship.
The Swedish striker had been more mysterious about his intentions on July 7 on the Dazn channel.
"We'll see. I still have a month to have fun. There are things going on here over which we have no control," said "Ibra", whose arrival in January coincides with the spectacular recovery of Milan, now 6th in Serie A, which ends next weekend.
"I regret for the tifosi. This may be the last time they see me in real life. Read between the lines," he said again.
The Italian sports media then evoked with insistence the arrival this summer of the German Ralf Rangnick with a double hat of coach and sports director, which would have implied a probable departure of Stefano Pioli but also of the technical director Paolo Maldini, with who Ibra also has a good relationship.
