Silvio Berlusconi and Fabio Capello do not understand why AC Milan has authorized Zlatan Ibrahimovic to participate in the San Remo Festival, an event that takes place between Tuesday 2 and Saturday 6 March.

But I cannot understand how the Milan leadership can agree to such a request. He should only focus on this during the season. football ”, said Berlusconi astonished.

In fact, it will probably only make him perform better,” predicts the Milan coach. brahimovic will train on Tuesday evening and then fly by helicopter to San Remo to perform there in the evening. The attacker will just participate in the competition match with Udinese in the San Siro on Wednesday evening. Ibrahimovic then returns to the music festival on Thursday morning to stay there until Saturday.
