Zlatan Ibrahimovic is fired up to face his former club Inter Milan in today's city derby
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is fired up to face his former club Inter Milan in today's city derby.
The Sweden international joined AC Milan on loan from Barcelona having quit Inter last year after winning three Serie A titles.
Ahead of the encounter at the San Siro which will see Milan acting as visitors, Ibrahimovic took a swipe at his old club. "When you feel that you can no longer grow in a team, that you no longer have the right motivation, you look for something else," said Ibrahimovic. "At Inter I had arrived to that point. I needed the change and then, of course, I joined a stronger team." Ibrahimovic is not concerned by the frosty welcome he will get from the Nerazzurri supporters. "I welcome their jeers as they fire me up even more," he said. "It just adds to the motivation. Inter are now a rival team for me. I will do everything to beat Inter."
