Hakan Calhanoglu spoke harshly about Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
What did Calhanoglu say about Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
The Turkish footballer has criticized the former teammate of the Swedish player, who, according to him, should be the center of attention at all times, despite his age. Both players played together in Milan before Hakan Calhanoglu crossed the city’s battle lines to sign for Inter in 2021, and they have been at odds since Milan won the Serie A title. Hakan is unimpressed with the attitude of his former teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, saying that he should do everything about him even when he is not contributing on the pitch.
Hakan Calhanoglu on how a Swedish football player taunted him after winning the Scudetto said that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a 40 year old man, not 18, so Hakan wouldn’t do that kind of thing at his age. According to Calhanoglu, he just likes to be the center of attention. Hakan says Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not contributed to the Scudetto this season, he has barely played but will still do his best to be in the spotlight.
In addition, it is Zlatan who always calls him, asks him to go to dinner or ride a motorcycle. Ibrahimovic also wrote about Calhanoglu in his book. According to Hakan Calhanoglu, the Swedish player had to write something, otherwise it would have been blank pages. Better not to bother, honestly.
A little about the topic
Hakan’s disappointment with the Swedish player may be due to Milan’s Scudetto celebrations following their Serie A triumph this season. Calhanoglu stated that his move to Inter was made in order to win the Scudetto, only to see his former club, the Rossoneri, win the title in his stead. Zlatan was seen taunting his former teammate as the crowd chanted and waved around the exploding Turkey jersey doll.
The Swedish international joined Milan in 2019 after a stint with LA Galaxy, vowing to bring the Italian giants back to the top of Serie A. Zlatan Ibrahimovic achieved that goal last season even as the player struggled with injuries, finishing with eight goals in Serie A 23.
