AC Milan hero Zambrotta recalls clash between Allegri and Ibra

Former AC Milan fullback Gianluca Zambrotta has recalled a major confrontation between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Massimiliano Allegri.

Zambrotta is on a promotional tour this week for his new book, 'Una vita da terzino' - 'Life as a fullback.'

"I didn't have problems with Allegri the first year, but the second we lost the Scudetto due to mismanagement of the locker room.

"You need to have all the players working in your direction to win, but instead in a decisive game he clearly said that even if he only had 14 players, it'd make no difference. So what about all the others? That's when we lost the Scudetto.

"I looked Ibra in the face to ask, what is this man saying? Another time after losing 3-0 to Arsenal, Allegri said: 'Well done lads, it doesn't matter.' That was not a great move. Ibra was furious and they almost got into a fist-fight in the locker room."
