Following AC Milan's spectacular victory over Inter Milan in the Italian Super Cup final, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, an advisor to the club, delivered a powerful and motivational speech.

The Sérgio Conceição era could not have started better at AC Milan. In just two matches at the helm, the Portuguese coach, recently appointed to replace Paulo Fonseca, already boasts two prestigious victories and a trophy. After defeating the formidable Juventus in the Italian Super Cup semifinals four days ago (2-1), the Rossoneri continued their winning momentum on Monday by overcoming their eternal rivals, Inter Milan, in the grand final held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (3-2). Undoubtedly, it has been an encouraging start for the Lombardy club.

Happy and especially proud of his team's reaction, which managed to come from behind in both matches to secure thrilling victories, Zlatan Ibrahimovic took advantage of the collective euphoria following the win against the Nerazzurri to deliver an inspiring speech. "We have achieved one of our goals. What we were looking for was a reaction. This is our reaction, guys. But before I go on, I want to congratulate the coach and his staff. In just a few days, they have done an excellent job. Luckily, he had a fever, or else he would have broken more than just a TV (laughs)," joked the advisor to AC Milan's owner in front of beIN SPORTS cameras.

Focusing on Serie A

Acknowledging the tremendous effort by Sérgio Conceição to create an immediate impact in such a short time, Ibrahimovic also praised the players' dedication, as they were facing significant challenges just a week ago. "Congratulations to the players as well. You earned this through sweat, sacrifice, and a great will to win. When a team is driven by this winning mentality, it is very hard to beat. It’s difficult. When the season started, I told you everything depended on us. Everything is in the mind. Today, you proved me right," said the former PSG striker confidently.

Finally, Zlatan concluded by sharing his expectations for the rest of the season, as AC Milan currently sits in eighth place in Serie A. "Now, let’s bring this mentality to the league and recover points to reach the place that belongs to us." The focus now shifts to what lies ahead.
