Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be out for seven to eight months after knee surgery. Now he explained the sacrifices he made for AC Milan’s championship title.
“For the last six months I have been playing without an anterior cruciate ligament in my left knee,” Ibrahimovic wrote on Instagram on Thursday. For half a year, the joint had been swollen. During that time, “I was only able to participate in team training ten times. “
He had received over 20 injections and taken painkillers every day. “For six months I hardly slept because of the pain,” said the 40-year-old attacker. “I have never suffered so much on and off the pitch. “
“I made something impossible possible “
But: “I made something impossible possible. I had only one goal in mind: to make my teammates and my coach Italian champions because I made them a promise.”
On Sunday, Ibrahimovic celebrated the title, the first for Milan in eleven years. “Today,” concludes the Swede, who has since had knee surgery and will be out for a long time, “I have a new cruciate ligament and another trophy. “
