Santiago Gimenez Zlatan Ibrahimovic @Acmilan
As Sergio Conceco was in mourning tonight, Zlatan Ibrahimovic spoke for Milan and welcomed the impact of the new arrival. “We’re in Milan. If we can only rely on one player, we’re in trouble.”
It was a tough slow for Rossoneri to break down the worst defense in Serie A as Verona held it firmly up to 75 minutes.
Alex Zimenez broke Rafael Leo’s acrobatic flick pass and set up Santiago Guimenez’s header from close range for a 1-0 result.
Most during the match, special advisor Ibrahimovic passed away at the age of 87 through the legendary FC Porto president Jorge Nunopinto Dacosta.
He served as president for 42 years from 1982 to 2024, winning 68 titles.
“I’m here because my coach is in the locker room. He’s very shaken with the death of President Porto like his father. I’m here,” Ibrahimovic explained to Sky Sports Italy. I did.
Gimenez followed in the footsteps of Andriy Shevchenko and Christian Pulisic and became a three-point player with three points scored in Milan’s first two Serie A appearances.
“Gimenes is someone who likes to score goals, and this is the team where the ball goes into the box,” Ibrahimovic added.
“It’s not easy to come to Italian football as a foreigner, but we’re helping him settle down and step up stronger.”
Ibrahimovic sees the bright future of the Milan campaign
This result meant that Milan got the Serie back on track with 10 points from at least the final four rounds, failing to beat the inter in a dramatic 1-1 draw.
“This is a very important victory. It’s true that we only scored one goal, but we dominate and if we score early it will open up completely. With respect to Verona, They came to San Silo just to defend, and it’s not easy to play against a well-organized team. If you score early, it’s a very different game.”
Joao Felix arrived on loan from Chelsea, where he had little time to play, but has been virtually always there since the transition to Milan.
“He came here and played and helped. The coach makes decisions, and it depends on the game and his form. Joao Felix is a player who always wants the ball at his feet and is in the situation. You have to create and play if he’s in good shape. It’s up to the coach.”
Is Rafael Leo leaving the bench tonight to influence the assists, removing some of the pressure that he is not considered the only talent of the Milan Squad?
“He’s always going to be the reference point on this side. Statistics show he makes a difference. He provided assists from the bench today, that’s what we need to do for him. is.
“We are in Milan, so if we only have one player to rely on, we’re in trouble! The more players, the more options you have. All coaches spin the team when they play every three days. It needs to be, otherwise you’ll be burned out and risk getting injured. It’s also important to get everyone involved and have confidence.”
Now, Milan has to look to the Champions League playoffs, hosting Feynord on Tuesday night and overturning his 1-0 Game 1 loss in Rotterdam.
