Ibrahimovic's decision to take on this role was not taken lightly. He revealed that he asked for three things before accepting the position. Firstly, he wanted to be able to be himself and not be changed by others. Secondly, he wanted to be part of a long-term project. And thirdly, he wanted to come back to win.
He stated that his role has not changed, and he still represents the ownership of the club. However, he did take on more responsibilities last year than he was initially supposed to. He felt the need to do so, but it made him uncomfortable because he wasn't able to be himself.
Ibrahimovic prefers to work in a way that allows him to be flexible and not be confined to an office. He goes out to meet people and discuss matters with them. He is also involved in the corporate side and the entertainment area of RedBird.
When it comes to Rafael Leao, Ibrahimovic has come to his defense. Leao has faced criticism from fans, who have used him as a scapegoat for the team's poor performances. Ibrahimovic believes that Leao was unfairly criticized, especially considering he was injured for a month and needed time to regain his form.
Ibrahimovic thinks that fans should remember Leao's preseason performances, where he was one of the best players. He expects Leao to return to his best form and deliver his "magic" on the pitch.
Leao is considered one of the best players in the world, and Ibrahimovic believes that he deserves more credit and support from the fans.
