Zlatan Ibrahimovic, The Santa Claus of AC Milan

DBasia.news – 2020 will be a wonderful memory for AC Milan. Even though he hasn’t won a trophy, Il Rossoneri’s performance after the break of the corona virus pandemic has been consistent so far, especially in Serie A.

Milan have been unbeaten in Serie A this season and are at the top of the standings. In the last 2020 match against Lazio they won 3-2 and Milan did it without their top scorer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ibra has scored 10 goals in six league games this season with Milan’s win rate reaching 72.7% while he has played (versus 62.5% without him). The record was inscribed at the age of 39. Not to mention that he missed a lot this season because of injuries and the corona virus.

The effect that Ibrahimovic has given is not just the quality on the pitch and his great experience playing in Europe, but also to lift the mentality of the players in the squad. No doubt in this Christmas atmosphere Ibra describes himself as Santa Claus for AC Milan.

“I never asked for anything for myself (at Christmas),” Ibrahimovic told SportWeek. “I’m Santa Claus. I’m the one who brought gifts for all 27 of my children: two in Sweden and 25 at Milanello.”

“This year, congrats on what we did and what we did. We lost very few games. I don’t know if it was thanks to me, but I did something, I brought something.”

The existence of Milan and the consistent playing of Stefano Pioli’s team made them candidates for the Serie A or Scudetto champions, competing with Inter Milan, Napoli and defending champions Juventus.
