When asked about his ability to return from setbacks, Ibrahimovic referenced his unforgettable debut. “I mean, I was out for a year and I came here 20 minutes against your favourite team and showed them something they have never seen before. So, I need 20 minutes, not more,” he said. “I felt tightness [in my Achilles] and it was growing and it was painful, but I kept playing because I had too much adrenaline and because I knew I would score, so I didn’t want to step out,” he added. “I wanted to win the first game, so I stayed, but I had a lot of pain. But I feel good and it’s all about how long you can keep it and that I don’t know. That you have to find out when you play. So if I feel good enough, I’m playing, if I don’t feel good enough I won’t.”
The 37 year old veteran has performed all over Europe in multiple clubs and is now spreading his magic in LA, America as well.
