In the English Premier League (EPL), Manchester United defender, Luke Shaw, has praised AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic's winning mentality.
Allnews reports that the duo shared dressing room together at Old Trafford for two years before the enigmatic Swede moved on to the Major League Soccer (MLS) in 2018.
"He was mad. I think he was what we needed in the dressing room,' the United full-back said during the Combat Corona FIFA Twitch tournament.
"He’s unbelievable, he still had the talent and even though he was a bit older he was still the amazing player that he had been.
"But I think inside the dressing room he was great. He had a lot of jokes but I think when it got serious, and when he had to sort of put his foot down, you knew about it.
"I think he was a born-winner. Even in little training games, if he didn’t win and you were on his team he would absolutely kill you.
"So I think he got the best out of everyone when he was there, as in training-wise, because people couldn’t sort of [slack] off because if you’re on his team and you lose, you’re dead.
"And honestly you can ask anyone in the team, that was the situation. But I think everyone loved him and it was just disappointing that he got that bad injury."
