AC Milan striker Ibrahimovic ready to play again next season

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he's ready to play again next season.

The Swede comes off contract at the end of this term.

He said, “The future is yet to be written. I don't plan. Let's see what happens. I don't want to regret stopping football and then saying that I could continue to play football because then I'd regret it for the rest of my life, seeing that I could have continued.

“I want to play as long as I can. The reality is I'll play until I see that someone is better than me, so I'm still playing.

“I know one day it will stop, and I won't have that adrenaline anymore. This is a problem for every football player because you have adrenaline when you play football. That adrenaline, you will never get in doing something else because we are programmed. Every day we do the same thing.

“We wake up, we prepare, we train, we eat, and we rest. The next day, it's the same thing. For 20 years, you do these things, and you get adrenaline from them.

“So when suddenly you stop, you don't have this agenda, you don't get the adrenaline anymore. And when it stops, you have to take it from there and begin from zero and start something new."
