Lazio great Paolo di Canio feels time is catching up to AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Di Canio feels the 40 year-old Swede is becoming looser in possession.

He said, "Ibra must be granted everything and recognised for everything. But if up to a few years ago out of twenty balls played, eighteen became pearls, now there are two pearls and eighteen turnovers. When you take the ball away, your teammates remain exposed at restarts.

"It happens in several games. Chest stops, scissors, scorpions: these things Ibrahimovic will continue to play them up to the age of 70, but here we are talking about a team that has to play another fifteen matches.

"Milan, for the technical resources it has, is achieving fantastic results."
