Pioli wants to protect me - Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Zlatan Ibrahimovic described how Stefano Pioli challenges him every day and admitted the Milan boss has the right attitude.
The Swede has renewed with the Rossoneri for one more year and will continue to work at San Siro.
“
What we went through last year was not easy,
” Zlatan told MilanTV. “
Every game, Pioli said: ‘Ibra, be good’. And I was bad
.
“The next game, Pioli said: ‘Ibra, be bad’ and he was the good, but he commanded when he wanted to. We played these games.
“At first, you don’t know people, but from day one it was very easy with him. Pioli has the right mentality, every day he has this energy that he transmits to everyone, he wants the best from the team.
“He calls me in the morning and asks me: ‘Where are you, I’m already working’. He challenges me like this.
“When you feel good and you are well, you want to play as much as possible, but Pioli wants to protect me and save me for the next game.
“I don’t know if it’s my problem, but my mentality of being there until the end, of giving my best. Because if I give my best, I know that my colleagues will do the same: with the adrenaline you have, you are never satisfied until the end.”
