Milan boss has no doubts that striker wants to remain at club
AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has shrugged off suggestions that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not hungry to win silverware at the San Siro.
The Sweden striker claimed last week he was losing his love for football and would want to retire while he was still at the top of his game.
While his agent insisted that Ibrahimovic still planned to play on for five more years, the player's comments have fuelled discussion about his commitment to Milan.
Allegri, though, is reading little into those remarks and has backed the 30-year-old to enjoy another successful season.
"Sometimes words can be misinterpreted," Allegri told
Gazzetta dello Sport.
Convinced
"I don't believe that Ibrahimovic is tired because the season has only just started.
"He and everyone else at Milan want to return to get results like last season.
"I am convinced that Zlatan wants to remain at Milan and return to win with this club."
Ibrahimovic, who is under contract with Milan until June 2015, was instrumental last season in leading the Rossoneri to their first Serie A title since 2004.
He scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists, although injuries have limited Ibrahimovic to just two league appearances this term.
