"It was a very special day because the day before they explained the program to me, but I said, 'I don't want to know anything'. Emotions have to come out spontaneously. It wasn't easy. Before deciding to quit, I was scared, because I've always played football, but I accepted. I'm lucky with the Milan fans, because they welcomed me the first time with happiness, then with love."
"The last Scudetto I won was the most satisfying of my career. Then my former team-mates also made things difficult for me. When I stood on the pitch talking, I hoped to find strength in them, but they started crying. Then I tried to find strength in my wife, who was also crying. So, my last chance was the fans, who were also crying, and so it all came from the heart."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will always be an AC Milan fan because the club gave him happiness, love, two league titles and a post-retirement advisory role. His farewell to the club was deeply emotional, with tears from teammates, his wife and the fans. Fear preceded his decision to retire after a lifelong playing career, followed by acceptance. His second spell at Milan emphasized giving rather than receiving and involved playing alongside much younger teammates. Recent months saw renewed public appearances and interviews, and a televised talk show appearance revisited memories and feelings tied to Milan.
