Serie A 2024-25: Ibrahimovic denies Conceicao-Calabria rift at Milan after on-pitch row

The Hindu  

Zlatan Ibrahimovic insisted Monday that their was no rift between AC Milan coach Sergio Conceicao and deposed club captain Davide Calabria after the pair almost came to blows on the San Siro pitch at the weekend. Raging Conceicao and Calabria had to be kept apart by coaching staff and teammates while fans celebrated Milan’s improbable stoppage-time comeback to beat Parma 3-2 on Sunday. And former Milan striker Ibrahimovic, who now works as an advisor for the club’s owners, US Investment fund RedBird, said: “It happened to me a thousand times on and off the pitch.” “There was a lot of adrenaline going around and those two are winners,” added Ibrahimovic to reporters at Monday’s press conference for new signing Kyle Walker. Italian media reported that Sunday’s row stemmed from Calabria and other players going to a concert held by Italian pop star Lazza -- who is also a Milan fan and friend to several members of Conceicao’s squad -- on Friday night. “I’m not having a good season, which is also due to some personal problems that I’d rather not talk about.” Sunday’s win, which came thanks to goals in added time from Tijjani Reijnders and Samuel Chukwueze, put seventh-placed Milan five points from Serie A’s Champions League positions.
