Sweden`s coach dismisses talk of international return for Ibrahimovic

CAIRO – 15 November 2017: Swedish coach Janne Andersson has a very strong opinion about the possible return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, after Sweden's qualification for the 2018 World Cup after a goalless draw against Italy.

"This is incredible! This player [Ibrahimovic] has just stopped to play with Sweden one year and a half ago, and we are still here talking about him," Andersson said to Goal.com.

"Gosh, we need to talk about the great players we have in this team, I believe," he said after the game.

Manchester United`s striker, who decided to leave the Swedish national team after the European Championship of 2016, dominated all the topics of conversation.

The Sweden coach added, "When Ibrahimovic was with us, we played a different football style. He's a great player, but we have adapted without him; we have many heroes."

Zlatan said on Sky Sports Italia that "it would be fun to be in Russia 2018." Ibrahimovic is recovering from a severe knee injury he suffered last April with Manchester United in a Europa League match against Anderlecht.
