MILAN (AP) \u2014 Ibrahimovic could lift the AC Milan trophy on Monday.<\/p>\n
amulet zlatan ibrahimovic<\/span> He has yet to come out of retirement, but his 19-year-old son Maximilian has been called up to Milan for the Italian Super Cup.<\/p>\nMaximilian Ibrahimovic was one of six reserve team players who traveled to Saudi Arabia with the first team amid Milan’s long injury list.<\/p>\n
His father scored 93 goals in 163 appearances during his two years at Milan, winning two Serie A titles and the Italian Super Cup.<\/p>\n
The young Ibrahimovic could make his debut in one of the Rossoneri’s two games in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
“They have great skills,” Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri said on Wednesday. \u201cWe wanted to reward them for all the hard work they are doing in training.\u201d<\/p>\n
Italian Cup runners-up Milan will face Serie A champions Napoli on Thursday. Bologna wins the Italian Cup<\/span> The next day they will face Serie A runners-up Inter Milan, with the final taking place on Monday.<\/p>\nOf the four teams, only Inter won at the weekend, beating Genoa to take top spot in Serie A. Milan and Napoli both dropped points.<\/span>.<\/p>\nMilan were held to a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo. They became the third promoted side to fail to win this season, after suffering a shock home defeat to Cremonese in their opening game and drawing with Pisa.<\/p>\n
“We should be angry but not depressed,” Allegri said.<\/p>\n
Milan managed to finish the round in second place, one point behind Inter and one point ahead of Napoli, who lost to Udinese. Bologna lost at home to Juventus.<\/p>\n
Although Milan struggled against promoted clubs, they managed to defeat the other teams in the top four this season, including Napoli.<\/p>\n
Coach Allegri said, “Tomorrow will be a different game. It’s a knockout game where our goal is to advance to the final.” “Napoli are a very strong team, so they will be angry if they lose to Udinese.<\/p>\n
“When there are difficult moments, (Napoli coach) Antonio Conte always manages to bring out the best in his team.”<\/p>\n
Milan won the Italian Super Cup for the eighth time last season. Beat Inter in the final<\/span> This ended the Nerazzurri’s three-game winning streak.<\/p>\nNapoli has won this competition twice, in 1990 and 2014. Bologna ended 51 years of major trophy winnings with the Italian Cup, but have never lifted the Super Cup.<\/p>\n
