AC Milan’s striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovich, shared a video on his Twitter account a couple of weeks ago where he showed everyone his strenuous workout following an Achilles tendon injury he suffered against Juventus back on January 23.
The Sweden showed off his incredible core strength by performing mid-air sit-ups with his legs wrapped around a boxing bag, an incredibly complex exercise that demonstrates to us that the years have not been bad for him at all. Zlatan accompanied the video with a pretty straightforward caption saying ‘Patience‘, a simple way to tell his fans and the whole world of football to wait for his return.

There will be Zlatan for years to come
Even though many people thought his career was over when he decided to try his luck in the United States with LA Galaxy, the Malmö-born has once again silenced the critics by performing at a top-level in one of Europe’s most challenging leagues. Besides helping his team stay top of the league for most of the season, Zlatan has also reached incredible individual milestones, putting his name in the history books of football. He became the third player to score 300 goals in Europe’s top five leagues (Ligue 1, Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Premier League), only after Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, which already says a lot about this remarkable feat.
All this success that Zlatan has achieved would never have been possible without his hard work and determination throughout the years, especially at a sport where most people stop playing after turning 30. Ibra is the living example of age being nothing more than just a number. The videos of him working out (yes, there are plenty of them) deliver a clear message: you can achieve anything you put your mind and body into, regardless of your age and the amount of challenges life throws your way.
