Ex-AC Milan GM Gandini: We must know Ibrahimovic can't fix things alone

Former AC Milan GM Umberto Gandini has warned not to expect too much from Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The 38 year-old striker made his 'second' debut for Milan in last night's 0-0 draw with Sampdoria.

Gandini insists Ibrahimovic cannot transform the club's fortunes alone, he told Sportitalia: "I think the management knows very well that the problems cannot be solved with the purchase of Ibra.

"In the first half, the team was a co-star of the event of Ibra's entry onto the pitch, while there was more participation and the level went up in the second-half.

"This does not mean that it wasn't an exhilarating game.

"The Ibra operation? I would have done it too. A player with his personality could also be disruptive from a negative point of view on some players, but in my opinion it was useful. It is an operation that makes sense at a reasonable cost."
