AC Milan celebrated the title again after 11 years. It was a great event in which Zlatan Ibrahimović played a major role. The 40-year-old Swedish striker did everything he could to lead his team to the title. He did everything he could to make his teammates champions and went beyond the pain to do so. But his goal was fulfilled.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic only returned to AC Milan quite recently. Specifically, on January 2, 2020, he arrived for free from Los Angeles Galaxy. It didn’t take long for the experienced Swede to lead his team to the championship title.
It was last week on Sunday when, after defeating Sassuolo, AC Milan celebrated the title after 11 years. The forty-year-old striker, who is an unquestionable icon for the entire Milan club, had the lion’s share of the success.
In the championship season, Zlatan played a total of 27 games, scoring 8 goals and notching 3 assists. There could have been even more starts, but injuries hampered the Malmö native in a big way. However, we have now learned that even during the games he played, he was not completely healthy.
Zlatan has played the last 6 months without the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The knee in question was swollen for 6 months. In the aforementioned 6 months he could train with the team only 10 times. In addition, Zlatan has taken more than 20 injections in the last six months.
In addition to that, he also went to have the knee in question emptied once a week during this time. He took painkillers every day. During these 6 months, Zlatan hardly slept. In his own words, he had never suffered so much. Both on and off the field.
He said he made something impossible possible. In his mind, Zlatan had only one goal, to make his teammates and coaches champions of Italy, because he promised them. Today, the Swedish cannonballer already has a new anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and another trophy.
