<\/div>Stefano Pioli said he needed to manage Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the Milan star looked angry at being substituted against Bologna.<\/p>\n
Ibrahimovic provided an assist before being taken off just after the hour-mark of the 5-1 Serie A victory at San Siro on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old appeared annoyed at being substituted, but coach Pioli said he was simply managing Ibrahimovic.<\/p>\n
“He said something, but honestly I didn’t understand. It’s also normal,” he told DAZN.<\/p>\n
“I have to manage him, playing so much I need everyone to be well.”<\/p>\n
Alexis Saelemaekers, Hakan Calhanoglu, Ismael Bennacer, Ante Rebic and Davide Calabria were on the scoresheet for Milan.<\/p>\n
Sitting sixth in Serie A, Milan are unbeaten in nine games since returning from the coronavirus-enforced break and Pioli is happy with his side’s form.<\/p>\n
“The team is having fun and this is positive. We played a high-level game, we were good,” he said.<\/p>\n
“It means that we are well and we have gained confidence.”<\/p>\n
Milan are in action again on Tuesday, when they take on Sassuolo.<\/p>\n
