Ibrahimovic said goodbye to football with a touching tribute to Raiola
Zlatan Ibrahimovic wanted to officially say goodbye to the world of football with his social media post. The 41-year-old Sweden striker mentioned all the teams he has played for and mentioned Mino Raiola in particular.
In the last game of the season for Milan (at home against Verona), Zlatan Ibrahimovic said goodbye not only to his Rossoneri friends, but to all fans without exception, announcing his decision to retire from active sport and with it a great career of over 20 years to finish.
This happened as part of a touching ceremony organized for him by the Milanese. However, the Swedish striker wanted to say goodbye to the fans once again on Friday (16/06) by sharing an emotional post on his official social media accounts.
There he spoke about all the teams he has played for over the years, with Ibra making special mention of his late manager Mino Raiola, who was the first to believe in him when he was young.
Ibrahimovic’s contribution in detail:
“It started with a dream. A dream that went from improbable to possible. I was born in Malmö, grew up in Amsterdam and grew wiser in Turin. In Barcelona I became a lion. I grew up in Milan and saw new perspectives in Paris.”
I built my stamina in Manchester and had fun in Los Angeles. And then I finally found peace in my new home, Milan. I was made by you
And the legacy I hope to leave is all the young Zlatans I’ve created. All who have the heart of a lion. All who have the burning fire in their eyes.
Everyone who knows that nothing is impossible. Thank you for everything. Mino, we did it! The ride is over. It was a great trip. Missing you Malmo Ajax Juventus Inter Milan Barcelona Milan Paris Manchester United LA Galaxy AC Milan.
