‘He didn’t contribute to the Scudetto’, Calhanoglu lights up Ibrahimovic
Former AC Milan player and now Inter Milan resident Hakan Çalhanoğlu didn’t mince words when responding to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s attack during the AC Milan Scudetto festivities. The Turk took the opportunity to slip a small tackle to his former club.
Going from AC Milan to Inter is never trivial. Hakan Çalhanoğlu took that step when he left the Rossoneri for the Nerazzurri last summer. Bad timing since AC Milan became Italian champion after the departure of the Turk while Inter, defending champion, had to settle for second place behind the Lombard rival.
It was enough to wake up the teasing side of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, champion with the Rossoneri. During the Scudetto celebrations, the Swedish giant did not hesitate to taunt the free-kick specialist by asking the crowd present if they had a message for Hakan Çalhanoğlu. Unsurprisingly, the response was all boos and whistles.
The former Hamburg player’s response finally came through Turkish Youtube channel Trivibu Spor. « He’s a 40-year-old guy, I wouldn’t act like that if I was that age, he’s not 18. He likes to be the center of attention, asserts the Turkish international before returning questioning the legitimacy of Zlatan in the Milan coronation. This year, he did not contribute to the Scudetto, he hardly played. »
Also during the Milan celebrations, an inflatable doll bearing the image of the Turk had toured the field and the supporters, causing some tendentious jokes.
AC Milan also takes it for its rank
But Çalhanoğlu did not stop there and took the opportunity to slip a small tackle to his former club. « I played for Milan for four seasons, but no fans were shouting my name from the stands, things that happen every time I warm up before the game with Inter, » the Mannheim native said before to carry the cup of grace: « Inter are a much stronger team than Milan. »
This season, Hakan Çalhanoğlu has played 46 games and has shone in the role of passer by distributing 11 caviars this season. He will nevertheless be able to console himself with victory in the Italian Cup and the Inter Super Cup.
