Boateng has played alongside some of the world’s greatest footballers, and Ibrahimovic stands out for the former Ghana international.
Ibrahimovic and Boateng were team-mates at AC Milan, with the pair helping the Serie A giants win the 2010-11 Scudetto.
“In two months I had become the fans’ hero. I have always been a player that like to showboat, but the best thing that I did at Milan was to be a warrior on the pitch. People reacted positively to this change in my playstyle, I played over players that no one would have imagined could be benched. Ibrahimovic? When I walked in the locker room on my first day he called me by my name. I thought: ‘Wow, he knows my name’. We got along from the very beginning. He is a leader, I have never met a more ambitious player than him. If he loses a game in training, he won’t speak to you for four days”.
