Ibrahimovic: The first two times I joined Milan, the team gave me happiness and love, and now I am here to repay it

Would it be too low to set the goal of fourth in the league?

"Milan's DNA is to win championships, especially in the European arena. We must return to the top. No one wants to change Milan, its culture or its traditions. And I have a rule: no one can change Milan, Milan changes you. In Milan you can smell the ‘smell of victory’ and after you go there you will never be the same player again. In Milan, everyone from the chef to the gardener is working hard to help the team perform at its best. "

Can Modric become who you were back then?

"We are different. He is a leader on the court but very low-key off the court, but he brings the experience that the team lacks. Even if he doesn't have a 'show-stopper' performance, you can learn something just by being around him. On the pitch, we told him ‘just kick and do it your way’. "

"Am I surprised by his performance now? No, he's been like this for 20 years. Many players stay at the top for two years and then disappear. And some people can stay at the top for 20 years. Even if they don't win the Ballon d'Or, they are still true champions. "

About Rabiot

"He could have come to Milan last year, we tried, but he wanted to stay in France at the time. "
