Press conference today about Zlatan.
Background:
Juventus has said Zlatan will not play against Croatia on Saturday. Witch really isn’t Juventus business.
In the agreement with Fifa every club has to let there players play in the NT. Regardless of injuries. And for the first time ever a team (Juve) made an official statement on the web that there player wouldn’t play in the NT. Juve did not want to let go of Zlatan but here is were its getting interesting. Lagrell (head of the Swedish football section) said yesterday that “both Zlatan and his employer knows who is making the decisions”, referring to his organization. After that Ibra went to hook up with the Swedish team, still with the “orders” from Juve that he would not play this Saturday against Croatia and maybe not even the next game against Island. The Doctor in Juve, Riccardo Agricola, was clearly upset and said that he did not want Ibra to go, and absolutely not play.
At today’s press conference Ibra himself said that “I’m sour and tender around my knee”.
He also said that the schism between The Swedish NT and Juve is nothing he will interfere in.
“I’m taking the final decision, if I’m fit I’ll play. But I can not decide over the healing time”. End quote.
