I am happy for the fans, for many years they have not celebrated how they are celebrating now. I hope we can restore that happiness to the fans but until we win a trophy we have not done anything“.
When asked about his memories of Silvio Berlusconi, Zlatan says: “Too nice. One Sunday I was in the stands at San Siro, he makes me sit next to him. Then he says to me: ‘Ibra, you mind moving one seat further? A very important person is coming’. I move, Galliani also moves. I think a politician is coming. Instead a beautiful woman arrives, wearing impressive heels. Berlusconi winks at me: ‘Very important person… ‘ And maybe it really was for him. “
lbra ends his interview commenting on AC Milan’s chances of winning the Scudetto. “We are focused on us, when everyone is so close it motivates you even more and no one relaxes . The championship is long and is decided in February-March. We have to play to get as many points as possible“”.
