RedBird’s Senior Advisor, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, spoke at a press conference following Milan’s victory over Hellas Verona.
Sergio Conceicao, in agreement with the club, skipped the press conference after Milan-Hellas Verona. His absence was due to deep sadness over the death of Pinto da Costa, former President of Porto (from 1982 to 2024), who had brought Conceicao to the Dragons first as a player and then as a coach. The two shared over ten years together, first as a player (1991-1993 in the youth teams and 1996-1998 in the first team, plus 6 isolated months in the 2003-2004 season) and then as a coach, from 2017 to 2024.
Milan, Ibra’s Words
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Senior Advisor for RedBird, spoke in place of Conceicao. Here are his words.
Conceicao
“The coach is very emotional about the death of the former Porto president. He was like a father to him, so I came here to speak“.
Gimenez
“I expected this impact. The balls come into the box with this team, you have to be ready to score. For a foreigner, it’s not easy to come and play in Italy, we also have to be good at helping him“.
Match
“Tonight’s victory is important. We dominated, they came here to defend. If you score early, the game opens up and everything changes“.
Joao Felix
“We try to take advantage of all the players we have, then the coach makes the choices. Conceicao is playing him a lot. He always wants the ball, creates chances, and could have scored today too. If he’s fit, he should play, but in the end, the coach decides“.
Leao
“He will always be the reference point of this team. He came on and made an assist. Today he came on and made the difference. That’s what we ask of him, to come on and win games. We are Milan, there can’t be just one player making the difference“.
Turnover
“The more players you have, the more alternatives you have, the coach rotates. We are one of the teams playing the most, so he has to rotate the players“.
New Look
“Loose hair is more relaxing… (smiles, ed)”.
Then to DAZN.
Feyenoord
“Today it was important to win and improve the standings to reach where we want. Now we will think about the next match”.
More on Leao
“Leao is Leao, one of the strongest players in the world. You can’t explain to him how to do things, it’s hard when you have such a strong player”.
Project
“The strategy was to bring in more players and alternatives for the coach, so he is in the best position to do well. Then he chooses what’s best to do. That’s how we evaluate. We’ve been there from day one, we’ve been in the group from day one. We talk and we’re there from day one. Not just now that it’s an important moment. Even when I played, February is when everything is decided”.
Walker
“Walker came out because it was decided before the game”.
Gimenez
“I said he’s as strong as Ibra, not that he reminds me of myself. You shouldn’t compare him to others. Our responsibility is to help him do well at Milan, one of the greatest clubs in the world, to make him play and enjoy and bring results”.
“Fantastic 4”
“Let’s go and play”.

Club Note I “Not Before 2027”

The Fiorentina has just released a note regarding the situation at the Franchi stadium. After the announcement from the Municipality of Florence, the club has responded.
New developments on the construction site of the Franchi stadium after the Municipality announced that further delays are expected and the works will not be completed in time for the club’s centenary.
Fiorentina, Franchi stadium: the club’s note
ACF Fiorentina, in response to today’s note from the Municipality of Florence regarding the Franchi Stadium, clarifies that the Municipality provided information in recent days regarding the progress of the works and the delays expected by the end of 2026.
The Club can only express dissatisfaction and surprise given the willingness it has always shown, such as leaving the stadium free from the end of May to mid-September of this year.
Further and possible activities for the second part of the works have also been outlined, which could still involve several months away from the Franchi. Scenarios that can only generate concern and disappointment. In light of the latest information provided, as already communicated to the Municipality, the conditions for any involvement of Fiorentina in the project will have to be re-evaluated.
There is still immense regret for not having been able to complete the New Franchi with the previous interlocutors, which President Commisso wanted to finance in 2019 but then had to realize that it was never allowed.
The Franchi Stadium, already a construction site since February 2024, will remain so with all the economic and sporting difficulties that arise, certainly throughout the 2026/27 season, the year of the centenary.

Lazio, good news: Rovella shortens recovery time


Good news for the unlucky Lazio of Maurizio Sarri: Nicolò Rovella is recovering optimally from pubalgia – early return anticipated?
The Lazio coach can finally smile. One of his most important players, Rovella, is showing great improvements. The midfielder is recovering from pubalgia by choosing to undergo conservative therapy rather than surgery, which would have kept him out for a longer period. So far, his choice seems to be paying off: his physical condition is significantly improving.

When will Rovella return to Lazio?
If things continue in this way, Nicolò Rovella could return to the field even before the November break. Initially, his reintroduction was scheduled for the middle of next month, but given the improvement in the situation, an early recovery is now likely. Of course, the midfielder will not be available for the match against Juventus in the next Serie A round, but he will be evaluated for the subsequent matches.
