If I was there from beginning, Milan would have won the title: Ibrahimovic

TIL Desk Sports/ Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic”s return to AC Milan has coincided in a reversal of fortunes for the San Siro giants. The side, which has struggled to match up to its glory years of the past for nearly a decade now, have since the return of the football in Italy beaten title contenders Lazio and Juventus, with the latter coming after Milan went 2-0 down on Tuesday.

“It”s no secret that I”m old but it”s just a number,” he said after the match. “I wanted to feel alive and I just want to play. I don”t have the same physique before, but I can overcome that with intelligence.” Ibrahimovic scored from the spot as Milan turned around the two-goal deficit to go on and win the match 4-2.

Such has been Ibrahimovic”s effect that he said that he probably should have come at the beginning of the season and Milan would have won the title itself. “I”m sorry I came halfway through the season,” he said. “If I was here from day one, we”d have won the championship. I”m president, coach and player. But I only get paid to be a player. That”s the downside.”
