Ibrahimovic: Maradona, Messi, top three in history, I would rather choose Yamal for this year’s Ballon d’Or

. I'm a leader on and off the field, and the way I do things may seem mean, but it's normal to me. When things don't go well, I get in front of the camera. It would be wonderful if I could play with Modric. "

Watching the game now, who can make you jump out of your seat?

"As a player, always watching the game will make you tired, but if there are some special games, such as the derby in Spain or England, I will still watch it. Today's football lacks true championship-level players. Football now pays more attention to the collective rather than the individual. "

Which coach is the most important to you?

"I always say Capello. He was the one who made the transition from a great player to a championship player. Since then, I have embarked on a new journey. Capello is a coach who can lift you up to the sky and then bring you down to earth. That’s the way he works with me, and that’s not the case with everyone. He can get into every player's head and make them follow him. Capello transformed me from an average player into a beast. "

After Dembélé won the Ballon d'Or, you posted a video showing all your trophies. Is that a coincidence?

"That has nothing to do with the Ballon d'Or. That video was made four months ago. I'm not a social media person, I wake up and post what I want. Not winning the Ballon d'Or is not a regret. The best players don't always win. I haven't won the Champions League either, but people remember that I haven't won the Champions League, which will be more profound than remembering 90% of the players who have won the Champions League.

Dembele won the award because he won the Champions League, but for me the Ballon d'Or is an individual award, and the one who did better on an individual level was Yamal. That's not to say he doesn't deserve it, that needs to be clarified. "

What do you think of Camalda?

"I am very optimistic about Camalda. I took a picture with him when he was a little boy and I had no idea who he was. I went to Vismara to give some motivation to the children. That was in 2019, but I just saw his message a year ago. Not out of arrogance, but because I’m not very active on social media. Once he tagged me and I saw it.

We played football together and I told him that he could have told me that he had messaged me. I waited until he scored his first goal in Serie A before posting that news. I hope he scores in Milan. Now he's out on loan and will be back next year and he has to go his own way. I'm happy for him, very happy. Italian football lacks a No.9 player like him. "

Tonight Italy has an important World Cup qualifier. What would you like to say to your friend Gattuso?

"I wish him all the best. He’s a guy who injects energy and adrenaline into you and has a very strong mentality. I wish him the best in the national team. Italy has suffered in recent years due to its failure to qualify for the World Cup. Italy should be in every World Cup and European Cup. But it all starts with the Youth National Team. We created Milan Futures to develop new players, especially Italian players. At Milan we are trying to develop talents and turn them into championship-level players. "

Who are the top three players in history in your opinion?

"Zlatan, Ibrahimovic and Ibrahimovic (laughing). Well, I excluded myself: I said Ronaldo was a 'phenomenal player', he was football; and then there was Maradona, a real player who always was himself and played with emotion. For third place I choose Messi because of everything he has won. "

Do you have friends in football?

"Maxwell is a friend of mine. We played together and had the same agent. We grow together. As a player, he was one of the most elegant. We chat often. "

How many cars do you own?

"I have a great passion for cars, especially Ferraris. This thing extended my career because they were so expensive (smile). "

What's the weirdest thing you've ever bought?

"I don't remember. An island? No, that's normal for me. "

Can you assemble IKEA furniture?

"That was my second home for many years. I make everything myself. "

What is your ideal player like?

"Header: Jardel. Chest: Jinola, he is very elegant. Hand: Buffon. Legs: Zidane, he is also extremely elegant. Left foot: Maldini, one of the strongest and most comprehensive defenders in history. "

Who is the toughest defender you have ever faced?

"Some defenders are tough but respect you, and some are tough just to hurt people. Maldini and Nesta respect their opponents, as do Samuel and Chiellini. Chiellini is my favorite and we had great duels. Those were great matchups. "

This is your third chapter in Milan

"When I first came to Milan, it gave me happiness because it took me away from Barcelona, ​​where I was unhappy. Then I left, but not by my own choice. Returning gave me love and I ended my career here, a farewell to San Siro that I will always remember. Many players cried. It was a different Milan than in the first period. We grew and won a league title that no one believed we could win. I said from day one that I would take Milan back to the top. The third chapter is history, and we are making history. "
