Zlatan Ibrahimovic faces a different week. The Milan player will have his routine altered to fulfill a television commitment. The Swede has agreed to be one of the presenters of the famous San Remo song festival, which will force him to change his preparation with the team. In this way, you will be able to attend the important event, but without neglecting your main obligations as a player and emblem of the Italian team.

The first thing Zlatan has ahead of him is today's match against Roma at the Olympic Stadium. That will be where Ibrahimovic will have to act so that his team takes off. Milan have not won since February 7 against Crotone, and have accumulated two losses in Serie A against Spezia and Inter Milan and two draws in the Europa League, both against Red Star Belgrade. After the game a different week will begin for the forward, a few days with a busy schedule in which he will have to combine his training with his new facet of presenter.

The Swede, after working in Milanello on Monday, will exercise alone in San Remo on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, where he will be accompanied by a coach and a club physiotherapist. Wednesday morning he will have to return to Milan. He will do it by car, to join his teammates and play the Serie A match against Udinese. Later, on Thursday, after training in Milanello, he will travel again to San Remo, again by car, and will present the final stretch of the Festival. On Sunday he will fly to Verona early to play against Hellas at 3:00 p.m.

In total, there will be 1,162 kilometers between the three car journeys between Milan and San Remo and the flight to Verona, two football matches and four galas (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday) of the Festival that he will have to present. Without a doubt, an atypical week. In addition, the decision to go to the Festival has not pleased a part of the Milan fans who would have preferred that the player remain in Milanello exercising with the rest of his teammates. Nevertheless, he was backed by his coach Stefano Pioli, who assured that there is no better person to face this pressure thanZlatan Ibrahimovic himself.

Berlusconi criticized Milan for Ibrahimovic's attendance at the Festival

The former Prime Minister of Italy and former Rossonero president judged the club because it will allow the Swedish striker to participate in the event. "Obviously Ibra needed to rest, because without that possibility I could not understand how Milan could have accepted such a request," said the politician in dialogue with Milannews. On the other hand, Zlatan is not the first figure in the football scene to participate in this festival, since Francesco Totti, Antonio Cassano and Roberto Biaggio were also invited by the organization of the event.
