Zlatan Ibrahimovic sends warning to Claudio Bravo ahead of Manchester derby
For the first time in six years, Zlatan Ibrahimovic will face his former boss, Pep Guardiola in this weekend’s Manchester derby.
“I don’t like him as a man, he’s not my type of guy”, said Raiola. “He’s a good coach but his football is a bit boring to me”. “They’re the games everyone speaks about”, he explained.
Last week, he hit out at Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who he claimed treated Mario Balotelli “like s**t” when the striker returned to Melwood for pre-season training.
“Me, I’m a professional”.
“The team is very strong, they bought some good players and the philosophy is the same – win everything and push for the Champions League”, said Ibrahimovic.
“He does not have the guts to sit with me”.
” And he didn’t do that, because several times Mario asked to have a friendly match, to have training”.
“As it is now, [I wouldn’t work with him again], because I don’t have answers about what happened”. Never let him play for 90 minutes.
“I do not need to be a friend or a foe with Florentino”.
“Zlatan was born for these types of games, he demands these types of games, and he usually performs”, Henry, who played with him in the 2009-10 season at the Nou Camp, told Sky Sports.
The weather or the food seem the most obvious aspects of life in Paris one would miss if they moved from the French capital to Manchester.
Despite his salary drop, Ibrahimovic remains one of the best-paid players in the world and has made an instant impact at United, where he has been reunited with his former Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho. “I have my own problems”. If I have to be afraid of speaking out my mind because I lose a deal, then I lose my powers.
But Raiola added: “I don’t have a bad relationship with Florentino Perez”.
