AC Milan veteran Ibrahimovic feels comfortable at Serie A level

Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he feels comfortable with AC Milan at the age of 39.

The Swede is in his second stint at Milan and took the opportunity to reflect on a generational shift.

“I feel like I've been here different generations. I played against Paolo Maldini and now I'm playing with his son, Daniel. Hopefully I can play with Daniel's son also, that would be a miracle," Zlatan told Football Focus.

“I have a lot of experience, goals have never been an issue, I just keep going. I'm not the same player I was five years ago, I'm not the same player I was 10 years ago, we all change because of the development in your physical point of view.

“I'm honest in saying that I'm not running like I ran before; I'm running more intelligent now. The Italian league, the reason I say that it's the most difficult to play in for a striker is because it's very technical and the philosophy of Italy is to not to concede a goal rather than score a goal."
