Ibrahimovic, farewell party to Milan at the San Siro. Can you go to Monza? – Corriere.it

Zlatan Ibrahimovic truly greets Milan. It will happen tomorrow, Sunday 4 June, at the end of the San Siro match against Verona, the last of the championship. There will be 70,000 to celebrate the Swedish striker: a heartfelt thanks for the years and the victories lived together. The Devil will celebrate qualifying for the next Champions League and will greet his capable Ibra to win two championships with the Rossoneri, but in two different eras. In 2011, in the last tricolor of the Berlusconi era (with Massimiliano Allegri on the bench) and in 2022, Elliott’s first, with Stefano Pioli, after an unforgettable run-up against Inter, finished second at -2. Zlatan says goodbye – the physical problems of the last period have evidently conditioned his decision and that of the AC Milan club – but he doesn’t have too much desire to hang up his boots. Forty-one years old and not hearing them, Ibra still wants to be there. In fact, he has repeatedly reiterated that he is afraid to quit. He revealed the courtship of Adriano Galliani to take him to Monza, a few kilometers from Milan. City that the Swede loves. And maybe, who knows, he’ll come back to San Siro as an opponent next season to challenge his devil. For now only a romantic supposition.

In the two experiences at Milan he collected 93 goals in 163 appearances. 13 years have passed since the first time he set foot in San Siro with the Rossoneri in 2010. It was August of that year, he arrived from Barcelona and promised the Scudetto. Which arrived, in fact, a few months later. He has always been decisive. With a goal. With his plays, his dribbling and his shows on the pitch. And the latest record: the oldest player to have scored in Serie A. It was March 18, 2023: at the age of 41 years, five months and five days. He struck against Udinese from a penalty. The Swede, however, had his penalty saved by the very good Silvestri. The action had continued, but the referee Doveri had been called by the Var, who had pointed out Beto’s entry into the area before the execution. Thus the penalty had been retaken and Zlatan had not made a mistake.
