Ibrahimovic Akan Tetap di Milan di Musim Depan

Milan - Massimiliano Allegri percaya Zlatan Ibrahimovic akan tetap di Milan. Ibra sendiri kerap dispekulasikan akan meninggalkan Milan pada bursa transfer musim panas nanti.

Allegri memberikan wawancara panjang dan mendapat banyak pertanyaan tentang masa depan Ibrahimovic. Top skorer Seri A musim musim ini dengan raihan 28 gol tersebut santer dikabarkan akan meninggalkan Milan musim panas mendatang, tapi Allegri menyatakan sebaliknya.

Di sisi lain, ia juga mengaku senang dengan skuad yang dimilinya saat ini.

"Dia (Ibrahimovic) bilang mencintai Milan dan berkata akan tetap di Milan," kata Allegri seperti dilansir Football Italia.

"Siapa yang aku impikan untuk dilatih? Itu pertanyaan sulit. Melatih pemain juara seperti Messi atau Christiano Ronaldo adalah impian semua (pelatih).

"Aku memiliki Ibrahimovic dan Thiago Silva dan aku cukup beruntung atas hal ini, tanpa melupakan mereka yang telah meninggalkan klub."

"Milan masih punya waktu 10 tahun lagi dengan para juara ini, terutama dengan para pemain asal Italia-nya. Berbeda dengan sang juara saat ini, yang sedikit sekali punya pemain asal Italia, yang mana buruk bagi persepakbolaan Italia," tukasnya.

Agent: Ibrahimovic will stay at Milan

koclokindoblog, 9 Mei 2012, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has no intention of leaving AC Milan in the summer and will see out the remainder of his deal, according to his agent.

The Swedish striker has already publicly pledged his future to the club but demanded assurances over new signings in the summer.

Italian media reports suggest Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani had a face-to-face meeting with Ibrahimovic on Tuesday to reassure the forward over the club's promises on strengthening the squad.

But agent Mino Raiola told Il Corriere dello Sport that Ibrahimovic was not going anywhere.

"His intention is to stay at Milan," Raiola said.

The Rossoneri's 4-2 defeat to Inter on Sunday meant Ibrahimovic missed out on a domestic league crown for the first time in eight years, as Juventus sealed the Scudetto with a 2-0 win over Cagliari.

The 30-year-old has scored 28 times in 31 Serie A appearances for Massimiliano Allegri's side this season.

Position: Forward
Age: 30
Birth Date: Oct 3, 1981
Birth Place: Malmö, Sweden
Height: 6' 3'' (1.91m)
Weight: 84 kg

Viewed as one of the world's top strikers, as well as being one of the most temperamental, Ibrahimovic made a name for himself at Inter Milan and won himself numerous personal awards at the San Siro. Known for his strength, aerial ability and fiery personality, Ibrahimovic has been compared to Dutch legend Marco Van Basten for his playing style.

Born to a Bosnian father and a Croatian mother, Ibrahimovic grew up in Sweden and plays for the Swedish national team. He began his career at nearby Malmo FF, before moving to Ajax where he blossomed, but courted controversy in his three years, before he was sold to Juventus.

Caught up in the Calciopoli scandal, Ibrahimovic was relegated to Serie B, but was not keen to stay on in Turin. Moving to Internazionale for £16.7 million, he became a fixture in their three title-winning side and then-boss Jose Mourinho claimed that he was, for him, "the best player in the world, ahead of (Cristiano) Ronaldo" - although the quote raised some eyebrows.

In 2009, he announced that he would like to seek a new challenge and agreed terms on an incredible swap deal with Samuel Eto'o that would see him become a Barcelona player, signing a five-year deal. His one season at the Nou Camp saw him score goals, but he fell out with coach Pep Guardiola and joined AC Milan on loan in August 2010 where he won another Serie A title.

Strengths: Strong and agile, he plays well with his back to goal and boasts some of the best ball control around.

Weaknesses: Drifts in and out of games, has questionable temperament and has been criticised for his work-rate in the big matches.

Career high: Top scored in Serie A in 2009 as he led Inter to the title.

Career low: Missed a penalty as Sweden were knocked out of Euro 2004 following a shoot-out loss to Netherlands.

Style: Languid, stylish, a composed and agile striker.

Quotes: "What [John] Carew does with a football, I can do with an orange." Zlatan Ibrahimovic responds to criticism from the Norwegian striker.

Trivia: Ibrahimovic received a black belt in taekwondo at the age of 17.

AC Milan Depak Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Buru Pep Guardiola?

koclokindoblog, 30 April 2012, Presiden AC Milan Silvio Berlusconi ingin memboyong Pep Guardiola ke Italia. Seperti yang diketahui, pelatih Barcelona tersebut telah memutuskan untuk tidak bertahan di Camp Nou musim depan.

La Repubblica mengabarkan Berlusconi telah mengatakan kepada wakil Presiden Adriano Galliano untuk mengejar Guardiola, apapun hasil yang diraih oleh Massimiliano Allegri di akhir musim ini.

Keinginan Berlusconi untuk memboyong Guardiola akan membuat Zlatan Ibrahimovic ditempatkan di bursa transfer musim panas nanti. Ada beberapa orang di bagian direksi yang tidak senang dengan pemain asal Swedia tersebut dan hal tersebut membuat masa depan Ibra semakin dipertanyakan.

Banyak direksi menilai kepribadian Ibra telah menguasai ruang ganti Milan hingga mereka hanya mengandalkan kekuatannya dan juga membuat pemain yang memiliki kepribadian lebih pendiam, seperti Alexandre Pato, menderita.

Berlusconi sudah cukup mengalami hal tersebut dan sekarang ia siap menjualnya.

Ibrahimovic happy to grab draw against Barca

koclokindoblog, 29 maret 2012,

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was satisfied with a draw against Barcelona in their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday.

The Swede missed a great chance to score against his former club in the first leg of the tie, but with Milan able to shut out the Catalan giants and prevent an away goal, Ibrahimovic remains in good spirits for the second leg at Camp Nou next week.

"We had some opportunities but, unfortunately, we unable to score," Ibrahimovic told Sky Sport 24.

"However, the result is very good for us. I am optimistic for the second leg."

Fellow forward Urby Emanuelson is also looking to move on quickly to the return leg, after spurning a great opportunity within seconds of his arrival as a substitute during the second half.

"My appearance was a bit unlucky. In my first action I could have scored but forgot the ball. That can happen," Emanuelson told NOS.

"I know that was a very important moment, but what can I do about it right now after the match? Let's try better next time.

"I think we will get chances next week. Barcelona always play their own game, so we will have opportunities."

Emanuelson - a Netherlands international - was also relieved that his side were able to keep Barca maestro Lionel Messi at bay during the game, with the Argentine forward unable to add to his 12 Champions League goals in the current campaign.

"Messi played like Messi. He's always dangerous and never plays a bad match. We're glad he did not score tonight," the Dutchman said.

Ibrahimovic in career-best form for Milan

koclokidoblog.blogspot.com, 25 maret 2012,

Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he is enjoying arguably the best season of his career.

The Swede was a doubt going into the Roma clash on Saturday, having contracted back pain during the 2-1 Coppa Italia semi-final defeat to Juventus last Tuesday.

But he returned to his devastating best with a pair of match-winning strikes to consign Luis Enrique's side to defeat and give Milan a seven-point lead at the top of Serie A.

"It's been a few days that I've had this bad back, but the adrenaline on the pitch makes up for it," Ibrahimovic said after the game.

"Thank goodness it went well. I think this is the best season of my career. I think my league form has been more than perfect."

"I feel good physically and mentally and I've played almost all the matches. There's still a month to go and it's normal to be tired, but I feel good."

Coach Massimiliano Allegri praised Milan's comeback against Roma.

"I think the guys deserved tonight's victory because they played this match with the desire to win it," Allegri said.

"They did well in the first half, but made some mistakes in the final third of the pitch. We also made some mistakes in the final few minutes of the half and conceded a goal to Roma with their only shot at goal.

"I think the team proved they have the character and desire to achieve good results, and this comes after a 120-minute game played last Tuesday, the team could be a bit tired."

Roma coach Luis Enrique praised his side despite the defeat.

"I think we played better in the second half, that's my opinion, because we were almost always far from the opponents' goal in the first half and tried to do what we could in defence," he said.

"The second half started better, I think we played better even with the penalty against us, but I saw that my team could score again and close the match."

"That didn't happen and then Milan did a good job, they have a player with great qualities and we all know who he is and how he plays.

"It's always difficult to defend against such a good player as Ibrahimovic clearly is. At the end I think it was a good game for us, even if we go back to Rome with no points gained."
