DALLAS. Zlatan Ibrahimovic defended Sweden after the loss against the Netherlands.
Now Graham Potter is paying back.
– He is a legend, has charisma and is handsome too, says the national team captain.
Sweden went on a heavy 5-1 loss against the Netherlands. However, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not too critical of the Swedish performance.
– If you look at the result, it looks like they made a bad effort, but I think they made a good match. The Netherlands were more efficient and scored more goals. “It’s not a good result, but if there was any game they were going to lose, it was against the Netherlands,” he said on Fox Sports.
When Graham Potter was asked about Ibrahimovic’s words, he broke into a smile.
– What does he know!? said the confederation captain jokingly and then continued with a laugh:
– I am not in a position to argue with Zlatan.
“He has everything”
Potter contacted Ibrahimovic before the World Cupbut during the championship they have not been heard.
– No, not since the last time we spoke. But he does very well as an expert, I like that. I respect everyone’s opinion whether they are with us or against us. I’ve been around long enough to understand that it’s not easy to talk about positive things if you lose 5-1, but there were some, says the national team captain.
Potter also praises Ibrahimovic’s performance as an expert.
– I have seen him. He is good, very good. He knows the game, he’s a legend and has charisma. He has everything. He’s handsome too, what else do you need?, he says.
