Chapter three in an argument between LeBron James and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, regarding the involvement of political athletes. Following the response from the NBA champion, the Swedish striker was asked about the issue at a press conference ahead of the San Remo Festival, saying: “Athletes unite the world, politics divides it. Our job is to unite the world in what we do best. Athletes should be athletes, and politicians should mess with In politics.
“I really like James,” added Zlatan, 39. “He’s phenomenal in what he does, but I do not like when people take advantage of their status to talk about politics. This is the first mistake people make when they become famous. For me, it is better to avoid certain issues and do what we are good at, after risking making a mistake.”
As I recall, last week the veteran striker was interviewed in Sweden, referring to the Lakers star’s political involvement: “I do not like when people with status like his talk about politics. Do what you are good at.” LeBron did not remain indifferent and responded: “There is no chance that I will focus only on sports because I understand the platform I have been given and how powerful my voice is.”
Another confrontation Zlatan had recently was in the Milan derby with Romulo Lukaku. The Swede commented on the situation with his former Manchester United partner: “There is nothing personal between us. If you want to get to San Roe you are welcome. What happens on the pitch, stays on the pitch.”
The injured striker will be hosted at the San Remo Festival, and will miss Rossoneri’s first game against United in the last eight of the Europa League. the festival? I’ll sing a song, but I do not know how it will go. I know how to dance, but I’m better on the court. I do not want to plan, I want to be Zlatan. I do not know what to expect, but I’m calm. If I make a mistake, no one can judge me. “It would be better if it went well, because it means I will have another job the day I leave football,” Zlatan concluded, in a typical Zlatan form.
