AC Milan's Kevin-Prince Boateng admits his initial thoughts about team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic were far from positive, but has changed his mind since getting to know the Swede.
The Ghanaian arrived at the San Siro last summer and has admitted that he had significant reservations about the former Barcelona striker that he was about to link-up with.
Boateng told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "I had thought Ibrahimovic was an arrogant b*****d, but he’s really nice, kind and funny." The former Portsmouth and Spurs midfielder had nothing but praise for another team-mate, the veteran striker Filippo Inzaghi, who he sees as a role model at the club.
He continued: "As for Pippo Inzaghi, seeing him train at age 39 makes you think everything is possible.
"I’d throw up if I ran as much as he does." Concluding on the current state of the Milan squad, Boateng said: "This squad is fantastic and if we play as a team, then we can achieve any result."
