Ibrahimovic calmed Conceição after argument with Calabria

The argument between Sérgio Conceição and Davide Calabria at the end of the game against Parma forced Zlatan Ibrahimovic to intervene , reveals the Italian press.

Moments after the disagreement between the coach and the team captain, the Rossoneri director spoke to both about what had happened and invited them to address the issue in front of the cameras, in order to calm things down.

Once the issue with the Italian player was resolved, the former Swedish forward spoke with Sérgio Conceição for around half an hour, with the aim of reassuring the coach and making the atmosphere more peaceful, according to reports in the local press.

The argument between the two was apparently motivated by Calabria’s reaction to the substitution — he threw a bottle of water as a way of disapproving of the coach’s decision —, in a week marked by the presence of the Milan captain at a concert (along with other teammates), which was not to the Portuguese coach’s liking.
