December 26, 2019, Boxing Day. Exactly a year ago, in the middle of the afternoon, the news that shakes the newsroom and drives the Milan fans crazy: Zlatan Ibrahimovic said yes. After weeks of back and forth, the Swede accepts the six-month contract for 3 million euros, thus starting a second Rossoneri adventure that will be extraordinary. A long-awaited and difficult announcement, invoked for a long time by Boban and Maldini after the very heavy and humiliating 5-0 suffered a few days before in Bergamo. The story, a year later, is well known: 22 goals in 30 games, the team turned around and improved dramatically. The result is the record numbers of a Milan that has not lost in the league since March and now leads the table ahead of everyone.
WHEN CAN YOU COME BACK? Milan have shown that they have now become mature, almost independent. He travels, strong and convincing, even without his headlamp, but Pioli is clearly counting down minute by minute. Not the New Year, but the return of Zlatan. That nine days ago he stopped again due to a hemorrhage in the soleus. A new review is expected in the coming days, which will say a lot about Ibra’s recovery work. He will still be out for Benevento, AC Milan’s dream is to see him on the pitch on the day of the Epiphany against Juve, but it is still very difficult. However, in order not to risk, the Swede could also skip the two games against Turin (9 in the League, 12 in the Italian Cup) and return to Cagliari on January 18., exactly one month after the shutdown.
RENEWAL OBJECTIVE – While they wait to see him again on the field, Milan are planning for the future. A future in which Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also, pivot and leader of a young and ambitious team. The Swede has repeatedly called for the resumption with funny jokes towards Maldini, who has never hidden the desire of the club to continue with the forward. Mino Raiola did the same (“Ibra can renew”), to which Ibra himself echoed in recent days: “If I want to stay in Milan for life? I say I’m fine, but we’ll see. Play the Champions League? Who? I wouldn’t want to … if I can stay, I will. ” And then the viewer focused on the return to the field and the Champions goal, to then return to the table and negotiate the renewal. A year of Ibra, the man who converted Milan.
