Zlatan Ibrahimovic has spoken bitterly about Chelsea! What did he say?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the footballer who can be said to have the biggest ego in the world, recently spoke out about Chelsea’s London transfer of Romelu Lukaku. He attempted to throw down Chelsea’s recent successes.

The reason why Ibrahimovic made his comments about the Londoners could be related to his anger at his former teammate and rival who transferred to Chelsea for a huge sum of money.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku had a rift during the Milan derby, with Zlatan defending the AC colours and Lukaku the Inter colours. Inter won the match 2-1, Lukaku scored the winning goal and Ibrahimovic was shown a red card. But that’s history now, what has the Swedish cannonballer uttered?

“Lately I don’t like Chelsea at all. It is a team that is coached by two coaches in a season before they have any success. For me, it’s just not a team. Chelsea buys success with money, there’s nothing else in it.”

His statement is true, but let’s be honest. There is still big money in football, after all Ibrahimovic himself used to play for Paris Saint Germain, one of the richest clubs in the world. And if Chelsea buys the players it needs to help it succeed, that’s one of the right strategies to follow in modern football.

Frank Lampard brought in Havertz, Werner and Ziyech to Chelsea, spent big money but didn’t meet with success. He was sacked in January and replaced by Thomas Tuchel, who was playing much better football with the same players Lampard had at his disposal. His success at the end of the season was winning the Champions League.

Tuchel has now chosen his own reinforcements for his squad, which he wants to achieve, for example, a Premier League victory. Should he achieve some other future success, Zlatan’s words will probably come true again. However, would it bother Tuchel or anyone at Chelsea? I don’t think so.

However, this was not the first comment Zlatan has made about Chelsea. Last year he made comments about why he would never move to Chelsea himself.

“Chelsea can’t sign me, I have more trophies together than Chelsea. I should rather sign them,” he has said in the past.
