The Juventus forward paid tribute to his captain during an award ceremony.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic won the best foreign player of the year in Serie A at an award ceremony, Eurochampion, held in Udine, during which he was asked to comment about team mate and captain Alessandro Del Piero.
“He’s a great professional, a great captain and a great player. He will be very important for our season.”
Ibrahimovic believes it is too early to place Juventus as the favourites for the Scudetto, despite winning the first three matches of the season.
“It’s really too early. However we are a great team and want to continue this way.”
After winning the Serie A best foreign player of the year, the Swedish forward’s next objective is the Golden Ball. However he reckons that it will not be this year.
“I see two or three other players for that award,” concluded the former Ajax player
