Zlatan Ibrahimović once again did not avoid controversy - the new "Milan" striker told former Italy national team coach Arrigo Sacchi to stay silent during a live broadcast.
Here is a short excerpt from the interview:
Ibrahimović: "Sacchi needs to learn to stay silent," the Swede told the journalist. "It seems like he is envious, because he talks a lot. He should talk less about me on television or in the press. If Sacchi needs something, he can come to me and ask. If he doesn't like how I play - then don't watch."
The journalist tried to explain what the famous coach meant, but the footballer continued.
Ibrahimović: "He spoke badly about me even when I was playing for Barcelona."
Sacchi: "I think I expressed my opinion correctly and politely. I don't think I offended you."
Ibrahimović: "When someone talks too much, they should keep their tongue behind their teeth - you are one of those people. If you don't like how I play, don't come and don't watch."
Sacchi: "Let me explain."
Ibrahimović: "You have nothing to explain to me."
Sacchi: "You should learn good manners, son."
Interview transcript (Italian language):
