Zlatan Ibrahimovic reflected on his time at LA Galaxy.
The Swedish striker spent two years at LA Galazy, where he scored 53 goals and provided 15 assists in 58 appearances across all competitions.
The 40-year-old made a U-turn to Europe in January 2020 to AC Milan on a free transfer.
Speaking t ESPN, Ibrahimovic reflected on his time in the MLS.
“I’m very happy. I’m very thankful for MLS because they gave me the chance to feel alive.But the problem was I was still too alive. So I was too good for the whole competition. That is what I showed.
“And I’m the best ever to play in MLS and that is not me having ego or trying to show off now. That is true. And when I was there, I enjoyed it. I had a good time. And I like the way they were working, the way they were doing the marketing stuff.
“And I think playing in MLS was the best way for me to come back after my injury. I was in the best condition ever. And I’m very proud I played for the MLS, because they were saying to me the stadiums are pretty empty when you play in that.
“There was no empty stadiums when I was playing. It was even overbooked, so I cannot complain, and I’m very happy I was there.”
The 40-year-old Swedish veteran then touched on if he would ever return to the MLS one day.
“You never know, maybe one day I’ll come back. So to show them how, to give them a reminder what real football is.
“So it’s for two years. They get to see what real football is and I think they will never see something like that before. Maybe I come back and have my own club, you’ll never know.”
The 40-year-old contract with AC Milan expires at the end of this season but the club will give him an opportunity to renew.
He is an important figure in Pioli’s squad and he’s scored eight goals in 20 Serie A appearances this season.
