As an advisor, Zlatan Ibrahimovic introduced the new coach of AC Milan to the press on Thursday afternoon, answering questions about Paulo Fonseca and discussing Joshua Zirkzee. The young Dutch striker, who is currently being called up to the Netherlands national team, has caught the attention of Milan.
Ibrahimovic shared his thoughts on Zirkzee’s potential, praising his strength and highlighting his impressive year. However, he also emphasized the difference between rumors and reality. Despite not focusing on a single name, Ibrahimovic hinted that Zirkzee is being monitored by the club.
The former Ajax player continued to describe Zirkzee in his own unique way, acknowledging the Dutch footballing philosophy and the pressure of performing well in front of large crowds like the 70,000 fans at San Siro. He emphasized the importance of handling pressure and performing consistently.
Zirkzee is set to have a new experience this summer as he may make his debut for the Netherlands national team in the upcoming European Championship. The Bologna striker was brought to Germany by coach Ronald Koeman after Brian Brobbey sustained a hamstring injury.
It is clear that Zlatan Ibrahimovic sees great potential in Joshua Zirkzee and believes that he has the qualities to succeed at a club like AC Milan. With the opportunity to showcase his skills at both the club and international level, Zirkzee has a promising future ahead of him. It will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure and lives up to the expectations set for him.
