Zlatan Ibrahimovic spoke to 'France Inter'. The veteran Milan player spoke about the World Cup, as well as other things. He sent a motivational message to Mbappe, who he supported after he missed out on the last World Cup, as he thinks he will get another.
The worst part was saved for Argentina. For Ibrahimovic, their way of playing left a lot to be desired. "Messi is considered to be the best in history and he'll be remembered for winning the World Cup in Qatar, but I'm worried for the rest of the players. They're not going to win anything else", he said.
"Messi's won everything and he'll be remembered, but the rest behaved badly and you can't respect that", he said, speaking about some players' actions during the tournament. "I'm saying this as a high-level professional. For me it's a sign that they won once, but they won't do it again. You can't win like that", he added.
He offered Mbappe words of encouragement so that he can go for another World Cup: "I feel for him, because scoring a hattrick in the final and to not win is very sad. But he has already won one and he'll get another, I'm not worried for him", he ended by saying.
