Yesterday it was clear that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 38, is returning to Milan after his two-year victory in the LA Galaxy. The Swedish star is now allowed to carry a heavy load for the slumbering big club.
Dejan Kulusevski, 19, definitely believes that Ibrahimovic will be an asset for Milan, which has barely been recognized since Zlatan left for Paris Saint-Germain in 2012.
- It is incredibly fun with Zlatan's arrival. He will lift the entire league. Serie A is really underway when Ronaldo came last year and now Zlatan. I think he will make a difference for Milan, he tells SVT Sport.
Is Zlatan something of a role model for you?
- Absolutely. I think Zlatan has been a role model for all Swedes, especially for us with an immigrant background. What he has done is amazing, as great as he is in the whole world.
Kulusevski is loaned from Atalanta to Parma, where he has made four successes and seven assists in the league. In a lengthy interview with SVT, he and international professionals Mark Gorgos and Joel Asoro talk about why they come home and beam at Grimsta IP at Christmas.
