Ibrahimovic promises to bring a ‘change of tone’ and shake Milan out of their rut

Following Milan’s recent woes and 3 consecutive defeats, culminating in a Milan Derby humiliation against Inter,

has promised a “change of tone”.

Ibra, who underwent a surgery on an anterior cruciate ligament, has been away ever since

won their 19th scudetto title last season.

The 41-year-old Swede who is known for his self-confidence, assured fans that things will get back on track again.

"When I arrived three years ago, people spoke of a situation that was worse than now. In reality, it's not as bad as some people say,"

Ibrahimovic told the club's media channels.

"In one or two years, we did fantastic things, and we're still doing great things.

"I call situations like this moments, because it's a moment where there's been a drop and we're struggling, but we need to return to form as quickly as possible.

"It's not as if anybody's happy with our form. We're all working to change things so we can get back to how we were before the World Cup. This season is a bit different, but this isn't an excuse. 

"Is it a coincidence that this club has won 19 league titles and seven Champions Leagues? Great champions have played here. This is Milan, and Milan needs to win. Coincidences don't exist."

Speaking about his desire to get back onto the pitch, Ibrahimovic added:

"I'm one of many in this team. I haven't been available for a long time and this has been disappointing because when you're a player, you always want to help both on and off the pitch.

"Unfortunately, in these first six or seven months, I wasn't able to play. In good times and during difficult moments, you always want to be there because you are one of them. 

"For me, football is everything. It's where I feel at my peak, where the best of me comes out, and I transform into a different person. When I return, there will be a change in tone."
