Ibrahimovic broke down in tears while speaking about a journalist friend suffering from leukemia

Zlatan Ibrahimovic maintains the image of the “harden” of the courts who doesn’t lift a fly to the sword, but there was a moment when he put that image aside and had no problem “crunching it up”.

This happened as part of his appearance on a Dutch ESPN TV show, where the Milan striker was invited to speak about Dutch journalist Tys Schlegers, who has been suffering from leukemia since 2020 and announced a few days earlier that his illness is in an advanced stage untreatable stage.

“When I was young and losing, I didn’t know a single person in Holland when I was at Ajax. A journalist contacted me and we went out to eat.

From that point on we became friends. Tice helped me, we’re always in touch and he will always be in my heart.” stressed the 41-year-old ace, who, upon seeing Slagers in the nearby TV window, said in a trembling voice: “I just want to tell you that I love you so much, my friend.”

It is noted that Tys Schlegers is well known in the football world as he has not only worked as a journalist but also in the press office of Eindhoven, announcing a few days ago that the leukemia is now in the terminal stages and so on he cannot be healed.

“I can’t help myself anymore, but others can” among other things, he said when asking people during his presence on the show “to donate stem cells and blood”.
