AC Milan boss Allegri insists no feud with Ibrahimovic

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri insists there's no feud with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

There were reports of Ibra becoming furious at half-time when losing 3-0 to Arsenal in the Champions League this week.

"I do not have and never had a problem with Ibra," assured the Coach. "Over the course of a year you can have some differences of ideas or some discussions that can also act as a motivating force during an important moment of the season.

"Ibra said nothing bad, it's only normal that he has the same desire to win as I do, that we all do in the Milan locker room. The objective is to win. You can do it with all love and hugs, or through the odd argument, that doesn't matter. We all work together for the final objective.

"Besides, the starting XI against Arsenal was forced upon me, as I had no other options. I thought the trio in attack could provide us with the goal that would kill off the tie, but instead there was a bit of suspense and we got to the quarter-finals in the end."
