Ibra Kicks Strasser, Asks Sacchi To SHUT UP!
Football Italia has the translation:
[Form Milan manager Arrigo] Sacchi had made a rather innocuous comment suggesting that one of Ibrahimovic’s goals could only have been scored because he has such big feet.
“Sacchi should learn to shut up. He also seems jealous because he is speaking too much,” Ibra raged.
“He must speak less on TV and in the newspapers. If he wants something, he must come and see me.
“If you don’t like how I play, don’t watch me.”
The Mediaset studio was in total shock at Ibrahimovic’s backlash.
Sacchi could only reply: “Look it was only a compliment.”

Jonny Evans latest victim to Fergie's "Hairdryer Treatment"
‘Our whole back four were going to get it, but he’s unfortunate he was the nearest defender to me. They had to compose themselves, that was the most important thing. After that, they settled and got very composed and got back to their normal game.‘The result was very different because of Ferguson said in an American radio interview that the atmosphere had unsettled his team.
He said: ‘The one thing that’s so amazing is that for the first 15 minutes I felt in shock, really in shock, because the atmosphere was unbelievable. Coupled with the noise when they scored, it unnerved me and it unnerved my players.‘No matter how much experience you have got, you get drawn into that cauldron of noise — and to get through that really did take a lot of courage.’
