Zlatan Ibrahimovic stepped forward in a crucial role for AC Milan in the away win against Sampdoria on Wednesday night. Milan, who have a direct place in the Europa League in sight, won 4-1 - and Ibrahimovic accounted for two goals and an assist.
- It's always fun to score goals. It helps the team, he tells Milan TV.
Ibrahimovic says that when he returned to Milan, he told his attacking colleagues: "take the chance when it comes."
- I have played in Italy for 7-8 years and as a striker, I know that you do not get as many chances to score. So when you get the chance, you have to take it and put it, says "Ibra"
- Hopefully I can continue like this, to be able to score goals, because at the end of the match I get tired. Right? Because they say I'm old, but I'm just warming up.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who turns 39 in October, draws a comparison with a certain Benjamin Buttons - that he is aging backwards.
- I was born old but I have always been young, never old, he says and smiles.
