Chapter 21: The One Who Gets Ibrahims Wins
"What did you say?" Ibrahimovic stopped and looked back at Ji Qin.
Ji Qin got up from the sofa and looked at Eev sincerely: "Zlatan, I have a way to bring you back to your peak!" ”
"Oh, how is that possible?" Yi Bu seemed to mock Ji Qin, and said with a wry smile, "No one can stop the years, and neither can God!" ”
His own family knows his own affairs, although Ibu has always behaved impeccably, as if he has always been so strong, but he knows that he is not as good as before, whether it is speed or physical strength, there has been a significant change.
God in the football world is still no match for time after all.
Ji Qin looked at him and said, "How do you know if you can't do it if you haven't tried it?" Zlatan, are you willing? ”
"Although you have won countless honors and have been the feared goalscorer on the front line, you have not won any of the World Cup and Champions League trophies, the highest honor for players, are you really willing to retire like this?"
"You are willing to say when people compare you with superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the future: Hey! That Swede? He doesn't even have a Big Ear Cup and a Hercules Cup, how can he be compared to Ronaldo Messi? ”
"If the World Cup is won because the overall strength of the Swedish national team is not good, then what about the Champions League trophy?"
I have to admit that Ibrahimovic is the king of the league!
In the Eredivisie Ajax, where Ibrahimovic became famous, he won two Eredivisie titles. Then he moved to Serie A, at Juventus, Inter Milan, Ibrahimovic won five consecutive Serie A titles.
Having tasted enough of the league title, Ibrahimovic has always coveted the Champions League.
In 09, Ibrahimovic transferred to Barcelona to help the team win the La Liga championship, but this time the Champions League title belonged to his old club Inter Milan, and Ibrahimovic missed it perfectly.
In the following years, Ibrahimovic moved between AC Milan in Serie A and Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, and the league title was still in the bag, winning the championship for six consecutive years. At the league level, Ibrahimovic is the king.
At Europa League level, Ibrahimovio won 14 league titles, a record that is hard to match. However, even with such a highlight, Ibrahimovic still has a reputation as a "foreigner in foreign wars".
After 6 top European giants and 20 years of football career, Ibrahimovic has never won a Champions League title!
The highest achievement is the last 4 of the Champions League!
When he was still at Manchester United, Ibrahimovic won a Europa League trophy by "lying on the crown".
Compared with the Champions League, the Europa League is like a "League of Losers", if the Champions League is a "First Division", then the Europa League is a "Second Division"!
The advantage of winning the Europa League is that you can play in the Champions League next season, which is considered a promotion.
From that point of view, winning the Europa League doesn't seem particularly commendable. However, for Ibrahimovic, who has never won a European title, it is a dream come true to reach the top of Europe in the twilight of his career!
It's just that Ibrahimovic is not completely objective to say that he is "lying champion", Ibrahimovic played 11 Europa League games for Manchester United, scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists, but he was absent in the final due to injury!
Before kick-off, Ibrahimovic formed the strongest cheering group on the sidelines with seriously injured teammates such as Luke Shaw, Bailly and Rojo on crutches, as well as the unavailable Tuenzebe. Manchester United led 2-0 smoothly until the end, and there was no suspense about the victory, and the camera kept cutting to the excited Ibrahimovic on the sidelines.
After the final whistle, the Swede didn't even need crutches and walked onto the pitch to celebrate with his teammates!
Ibrahimovic's leg injury was inflicted in the Europa League. In the Europa League semi-final against Anderlecht, Ibrahimovic was replaced by Anthony Martial after he was injured in a high ball scramble with centre-back Mbogi just before the end of normal time.
Now when I go back and look at the video at that time, I can still see that Ibu's facial expression at that time was painful, and the pain can be imagined!
After the game, a number of media reported that Ibrahimovic had injured the anterior cruciate ligament, and some media believed that Ibrahimovic had torn both the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, and the situation was not optimistic. Prior to that, Ibrahimovic had a fairly smooth career and was rarely injured.
Cruciate ligaments are serious injuries in professional sports, and it takes almost a year for a young player to recover, and for the 36-year-old, it's almost career-ruin.
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has also been plagued by the injury, commenting at Arsene Wenger at the time: "Studies have shown that players around 25 years old can come back to full health if they suffer this injury, but players over 29 years old don't want to go back to the same level as before. ”
Ibrahimovic was 35 years old at the time!
Ibrahimovic has undergone knee ligament surgery and is set to enter a long period of rehabilitation, and from Manchester United he has been reassured that the Red Devils have decided that even if Ibrahimovic does not renew his contract with Manchester United, United will give him full access to the club's medical rehabilitation and training facilities until he recovers!
Because of this serious injury, Ibrahimovic declined Manchester United's offer to extend his contract. Even if Ibrahimovic's surgery is successful, he will need to be out of action until at least the end of the year before he can return to the pitch. Maybe it's because of his personality, he didn't want to lie down and get a high salary and watch his teammates work hard, so he chose to leave!
This is undoubtedly a pity for Ibrahimovic, but if Ibrahimovic wins the Champions League once, he will no longer carry the voice of doubt behind his back, and his historical status will be greatly improved.
Although in an interview with Sky Sport Italia, Ibrahimovic said: "Missing a trophy? I would tell myself: if I win a Champions League, can I be a better player? It's not, but if I don't win the trophy, does it make me a bad player? Neither will it. ”
'I want to win the Champions League every season at all costs, I want to win, but let's think about it from a different perspective, when a player has a super season and wins the Champions League, then he disappears and never wins any other honours.
"On the other hand, I can win the trophy every year, and I would say every year. I'm not going to trade a Champions League trophy for the 33 trophies I've won in my 20-plus years because every year I've proven who I am and I've conquered every year I've been there. ”
But what he really thinks in his heart, only he knows!
At least now, he clenched his fists with his back to Ji Qin and didn't say a word.
Ji Qin hit the railway while it was hot: "Yibu, why don't you believe me once?" Why take a gamble? If you think I'm lying to you, then half a season! Give me half a season until the summer transfer window, and if I don't get your form back up, I'm leaving! ”
"But if I do, will you go back to Europe with me?!"
Ji Qin thought a lot before coming, but if he wanted to convince Yibu's method and hole cards, Ji Qin only had this one, and used the old dangyi strong card to let Yibu return to his peak state!
Compared with the big-name agent Raiola, Ji Qin can be said to be an unknown little person. Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, is not a young player who has not yet become famous, on the contrary, he is a world-famous superstar with a brilliant resume, and no matter who looks at it, there will be no connection between the two.
However, Ji Qin still came, desperate and struggling!
