The headlines were numerous when Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed up at a Hammarby training in mid-April. The Swedish star, who is a partner in Hammarby, has been training with the club ever since to keep his form while he is in Sweden.
A few weeks ago, the Milan player was also present when Hammarby played an internal match.
Of course, the green-and-white fans are hoping for Zlatan in the Hammarby jersey season to come - an opportunity that sports manager Jesper Jansson does not rule out.
- Probably enough, I think so. But only Zlatan himself knows. He hasn't said anything like that and it's not that I need to ask him and tell him that we want him here, ”Jesper Jansson told Expressen.
Jansson continues:
- But I've learned that, he doesn't say anything until he's 100 percent sure. Of course we would like that.
- He has a bigger mind with everything he does.
Because of the corona academy, allsvenskan, which should have started in April, has been postponed and the plan right now is allsvenskan start June 14. Jansson admits that it has been difficult to motivate the players when the competition momentum disappears.
- But then Zlatan came and it was noticed by everyone. A lift for all players, and also for me. And he also wants to know how we work in Hammarby, how we work forward and it has reinforced my impression that he has come here because he wants something with Hammarby, says Jansson.
- It pulls us with others. It has been terribly positive.
