Ibrahimovic also confessed that his return to the Milan-based football outfit was his "biggest challenge".

Speaking during La Gazzetta dello Sport’s award, the Swede said: “I am feeling well. I am training and I always want work hard, that’s my philosophy.

"At 39 I felt that I had to do something more to feel good. My arrival at Milan was a different challenge. Milan were not at the top.I was hoping to do well, everyone who returned to Milan for the second time could not do as well as they had done the first time.

"It was the biggest challenge for me, I told myself: 'I'll do Zlatan Ibrahimovic and change things'."

Currently, AC Milan are Serie A leaders with 27 points. Inter Milan (24pts), Napoli (23pts) and Juventus (23pts) are second, third and fourth respectively.

The 39-year old further said the Rossoneri "must dream of winning the scudetto" and that the team is "hungry and willing".

“The team must have the courage to dream of winning the scudetto, we have a long way ahead.

"The team is hungry and willing, we want even more.

"I think I transmit my charisma to my teammates, I always want to train because I feel better. I tell people of my same age to believe in themselves and never give up."
