Ibrahimovic speaks on Felix-Kaka comparisons, Empoli controversy and Milan’s post-January aims

Today, for the first time as an AC Milan player, Joao Felix spoke to the media in a press conference, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic was on hand to answer some questions as well.

Leading up to January, and even before that, Ibrahimovic has been quite a topic. Some believe he is in a role too soon, whilst others have voiced their concerns about the Swede’s ability to operate in the role in which he finds himself in.

Recruitment has been the largest frustration, but the January mercato was certainly more positive, with Milan spending heavily on targets across the pitch, and as a result, there is more hope going into the second half of the season.

However, no one is getting carried away because of a few transfers, and consistency will once again be the keyword in the remaining months of the season.

Today, sat next to Felix, Zlatan spoke to the press about the move and Milan’s season moving forward, and Milan News have his comments.

Do you want all 4 forwards on the pitch together?

“When we did this transfer market we tried to give the coach two teams. We play a lot, we need alternatives. The coach has many options now. If they defend they can all play together.

“We need balance, defend and attack. The important thing is to have given the coach two teams and many alternatives. It’s up to him to decide who to play, no one is guaranteed a place on the pitch. We hope that Joao can also become a Milan legend.”
