I feel like a zombie “- Aftonbladet

It should be painless and not risk aggravating the injury.

Otherwise, Ibrahimovic not play European Championship qualifiers against Russia on Thursday.

– Against Lyon released anesthesia after 45 minutes. Then it was chaos, says 33-year-old.

Much depends as usual on Zlatan Ibrahimovic when Sweden will play the European Championship qualifier. On Thursday, the waiting group favorite Russia but possibly without the Swedish team captain who is hälskadad.

Refuses syringes

– It feels better and better. We have increased the strain on the strength I run and it goes in the right direction. We take one day at a time, it can happen a lot. It feels a lot better today than yesterday. Regarding the game, I can not give an answer today. We have to wait until Thursday so we check, says Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Zlatan will not take any risks whatsoever to play.

– As long as I do not aggravate the injury and playing with pain is okay. But there is a risk that it gets worse I do not play. Absolutely not. We are at the beginning of the season.

Is it necessary to play with anesthesia?

– When I played against Lyon got anesthesia syringes that held for 45 minutes . Then it was chaos. But I did not like. I wanted to be on the pitch and fight and make sure my team win,

but it was unfortunately not my way.

“More time with my family”

It is clear that Zlatan wants to play, just like Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, in all the matches he can.

– I think it is for my ego, and I have become accustomed body at this rhythm. I’ll play all the time and want to be involved and want to be with. Last time I saw the game from the stands there is no place you want to sit on and help the team from there. I’m not used to damage. The only positive thing about this injury is that I got to spend more time with my family. But everything else is negative. But you have to be patient, it’s something I can learn now. It’s important to be healthy too. One can not play hurt. You have to pay yourself for it in the end ..

– I walk around and feel, not quite like a zombie but almost as an now. I’d rather be on the field and do what I do.

So the whole press conference with Zlatan – word for word (PLUS)
