Ibra is not a player for the Europa League

Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave an interview, in which he told about his plans for the future.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to Milan at the beginning of 2020, having signed a six-month contract with the club until June with the option of extension for another season. It was clear during the course of the current campaign that Rossoneri will not end up in the Champions League as initially the wrong bet on the manager was made.

Before the season, Giampaolo was appointed as the coach, who worked at the team for only four incomplete months and was fired because of unsatisfactory results. Stefano Pioli came instead of him, who stabilized the situation in the tournament table a little.

At the moment, Milan are fighting for the fifth place of prestige with Roman Roma and Neapolitan Napoli. But the gap from the fourth place is to big to talk about the smallest possibility for Rossoneri to get into the Champions League. This moment raises doubt in Zlatan the most as he has no intention of playing in the Europa League next season,

“I am only here because of the passion, as basically I play for free. Then the coronavirus stopped everything and I thought, maybe, they hint that it’s time to retire. Ibra is born to play football and he is still the best in football. We’ll see, how will I feel myself in two months.

We’ll see the situation at the club. If the situation remains the same then, to be honest, it is unlikely that you will see me at Milan next season. Ibra is not the player for the Europa League and Milan is not the club that should perform in the Europa League,” Ibrahimovic said in an interview to Sportweek.

It is absolutely clear that if Rangnick comes to the club, as Milan president wants, Ibra will have to be removed as all responsibility should fall on shoulders of the manager and the leader should not take responsibility and status upon himself.

However, if Milan continue to play the same way, as the played against Lazio and Juventus in the latest games and Pioli remains at the head coach post, the Swede can be convinced and one can hope that he will once again want to win the Europa League cup as for Manchester United back in the day. Although it seems that everything depends on the material component in the matter.
