Zlatan Ibrahimović continues to play a pivotal role at AC Milan, not just as a player but as a key figure in the club’s recruitment strategy. Recently, he welcomed Álvaro Morata to the Rossoneri, personally vouching for the project and the club’s vision during phone calls and video messages. In a touching moment, Morata revealed that Zlatan sent him a video featuring the greatest Milan players of the past, which gave him chills and highlighted the rich history of the club he is joining.
For Morata, signing with Milan feels like returning home. The Spanish striker emphasized his ambitions, stating, “I expect to win. There are players who score many goals but never win; I’ve seen the atmosphere at Milanello, and I believe I can only improve here.” His aim is to help Milan secure its second star, which represents 20 league titles, and he believes he is entering his best years as a player. Morata is determined to make an impact: “A leader is not someone who scores 50 goals; it’s someone who pushes their teammates to give their all.”
He also expressed confidence in the team’s potential, mentioning stars like Theo Hernández, who he believes has the ability to become the world’s best left-back. Morata carries a grateful sentiment toward Juventus but is focused on this new chapter in his career with Milan. He reminisced about last season’s Champions League match between Atlético Madrid and Inter, highlighting the satisfaction of winning against the Nerazzurri.
Discussing his role in the squad, Morata stressed the importance of teamwork and a disciplined approach, drawing parallels between the structure at Milan and the successful Spain national team he once played for. He also took the time to commend young talent Lamine Camarda, hinting at a mentor-mentee relationship that could see the future star blossoming under his guidance.
Zlatan weighed in on Morata’s arrival as well, calling him the “captain of European champions.” He noted Morata’s leadership qualities and his ability to elevate the team’s play both on and off the pitch. Ibrahimović expressed confidence that Morata would fit seamlessly into the squad, which is much younger than the previous season. The club is optimistic about the attacking flair Morata will bring, looking forward to an exciting season ahead.
As Milan prepares for the coming challenges, the addition of Álvaro Morata is seen as a significant step forward, with both players and management eager to make a lasting impression in the Serie A and beyond.
