Zlatan Ibrahimovic has leapt to the defence of Juventus boss Max Allegri. “Only winning counts in football.”
Allegri has been accused of adopting a cautious mentality in the Champions League this season, culminating in Juve’s exit to Ajax at the quarter-final stage.
However, Ibrahimovic told reporters: “Allegri’s right: only winning counts in football.
“If you play well and don’t win, it doesn’t count for anything.”

The Swede – who won a Scudetto with the 51-year-old at Milan in 2011 – was talking after LA Galaxy’s 3-2 defeat to New York Red Bulls…
“It’s you journalists who agree that if someone plays well and loses, they’re massacred.
“But at the end of the day we think the same way, you and I: all that matters is winning.
“The beautiful game doesn’t lead you to anything. [Football] is just about winning, no matter how you do it.”
