That Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a player who takes up a lot of space and wants to decide is nothing new.
How he fits into Janne Andersson's team building where there is a great focus on the team in particular has therefore been questioned.
But the league captain says that he had several good conversations with the Milan star.
- You know what kind of star and person he is.
What I do know is the contacts we had when I talked to him.
It has been extremely mutually respectful in every way.
So I see no problem at all with that, says Janne Andersson.
- Then we all have different qualities and qualities as players and people and they should be added in a group.
And it is the leader's job to make it work.
Granqvist becomes captain
But a lot has changed since Zlatan left the national team almost five years ago.
Among other things, he will not get the team captain's armband back.
- Andreas Granqvist is the team captain in this national team, says Janne Andersson who says that the two talked about how it works in Andersson's national team.
- I have reasoned based on different scenarios with Zlatan just as I reason with other players what can happen and we have had great talk in all parts.
We have talked about how we should work together, how we work in the national team and how he can take a place there with his way of playing, Andersson says.
