Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he and Inter are on exceptional form, then explains his row with Cristian Brocchi. “He talked, I played.”
The Swede was on target in last night’s 3-0 victory away to Lazio and got into a tussle with midfielder Brocchi in the second half.
The Biancocelesti veteran accused Ibra of ‘taking the mickey’ with his flicks and tricks, earning a booking for a crunching tackle.
“He talked, I played,” explained Zlatan. “The truth is he tried to get the ball off me, but he could never do it.”
That wasn’t the only spectacular gesture, as Ibra also performed a sort of overhead kick in midfield to redirect a pass towards Sulley Muntari with his heel!
“Maicon gave me the ball and it was a bit far away from my feet, so I gave it a go and it turned into a great pass. It went well.”
He also scored with a header in the second half, as Inter went nine points clear at the top awaiting this afternoon’s results from Juventus and Milan.
“In other games I had more chances and didn’t score, but what makes me really happy is the performance of the team,” Ibra told Inter Channel.
“It is never easy to win away to Lazio, but we all did very well and played the way we wanted to. We went on to the field with character, strength and quality.
“Now we must continue like this, right the way to Christmas. Physically I feel great and want to play all the time.”
