Since he left Paris Saint-Germain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has launched a new attack on French football, alleging that it has almost completely lost any relevance. Ibrahimovic had a standout run at PSG, scoring 156 goals in in 180 games, before leaving in 2016 to join Manchester United.
Since then, he has had productive stints at the LA Galaxy and AC Milan, and PSG now has a front three that includes Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Lionel Messi.
Despite his star power, Ibrahimovic doesn’t seem to be ready to give up his exaggerated confidence just yet.
Everything has declined since I left France, he said Canal+. “You are out of topics to discuss. “Europe requires me. France doesn’t need me. It doesn’t matter if you have Messi, Neymar, or Mbappe.
Ibrahimovic, who is now 41 years old, assisted Milan in winning the Serie A title for the first time in 11 years last season, but he will not be able to play again until 2023 due to knee surgery. He adds, “When I come back, I will be heard, you can depend on it,” and claims he has no desire to retire.
“I’ll use force to accomplish it. I won’t stop trying; I’m not going to retire and I’m coming back. I’ll stop if I see a player who is more powerful than I am. But I haven’t yet encountered him.
