In a fun recount of their relationship, an Argentine star revealed the day Zlatan Ibrahimovic threatened to rip his head off at AC Milan.
There are some Argentine stars who shared the dressing room with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but none of them had problems like today’s story. We are about to reveal the day in which the Swedish striker nearly ripped a forward’s head off. To start, we can talk about the players who shared the squad with Ibrahimovic.
We all remember Messi but they always respected each other, there’s also Di Maria but there were never problems there either. In order to get the name we are looking for, we have to go back nearly a decade. It was the time when Zlatan played for AC Milan during his first spell.
A certain Maxi Lopez played for this squad for a short stint before leaving without making his mark. However, he will never remember the day he angered Zlatan Ibrahimovic. This was the day Maxi saw the Devil right to his face (we are obviously joking).
How Maxi Angered Zlatan.
Those who know Zlatan Ibrahimovic will tell you that he doesn’t accept anything lower than perfection from his teammates. We’ve seen several accounts from AC Milan’s players who are genuinely scared of him. Maxi was one of those players who got the shorter end of the stick, it happened many years ago.
“We were playing against Parma at the Tardini, I put a pass into the box for Ibrahimovic, he didn’t even move, he just watched where the ball was going,” said Maxi during an interview on TyC Sports.
“Suddenly, he spun around and started shouting at me. You wouldn’t believe the things he said! He wanted the ball at his feet. I replied it was a good pass and it would’ve sent him clear on goal.
“We got back to the dressing room at the end of the game. I thought he’d say something to me, but he stayed away. A day passed, two, then three…
“We had to play in the Champions League on Wednesday. Zlatan went up to me and said: ‘I like you, the Argentines have character and say what they believe, not like the Brazilians. Having said that, next time you do something like that, I’ll rip your head off.’”
