Playing with Zlatan Ibrahimovic was very easy for me - Kevin Boateng

Ghanaian attacker Kevin-Prince Boateng has eulogised his former teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, saying playing with the Swedish star was very easy for him.

Boateng played with Ibrahimovic while the striker was in his prime at AC Milan.

In two seasons for Milan, the Swede scored an impressive 42 goals in 61 Serie A games to help fire his team to the title - a feat that clearly impressed Boateng.

"It was easy for me to play with Zlatan, I immediately understood it," said Boateng, "he would open up lots of fields on the field and give me the passes I dreamed. He was an excellent friend. If he didn't get the ball well or made a mistake in front of the goal, then he would criticize everyone. But he would do it in a tutorial way. "

In two spells with Milan, Boateng scored 11 goals in 85 appearances.
