WATCH: Zlatan insists Serie A presenters ‘you have to bring me to the A-guys’ in typical Ibrahimovic fashion

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was invited as a special guest on the broadcaster's Serie A show ahead of AC Milan's  2-1 upset against Parma on Saturday (August 24). During the show, the Swedish legend, in his typical fashion, took a cheeky dig at the hosts by asking where the “A-Guys” were. 

Ibrahimovic was part of the CBS Sports panel alongside Italian football legend Fabio Cannavaro, Mike Grella, former Leeds star Mike Grella and presenters Poppy Miller and Mike Messina. He jokingly insisted to the presenters that he must have the main team in punditry if he was asked to be on the show. 

The 42-year-old referred to the absence of popular Champions League hosts Thierry Henry, Kate Abdo and Micah Richards. 

“Thank you for having me,” Ibrahimovic said to CBS Sports. “But I thought, where's the real studio with [Thierry] Henry, Kate [Abdo] and Micah [Richards]? Let's go home! If you bring me in, you have got to bring me to the A-guys!,” he added. 

His hilarious remarks were well received by the hosts as they laughed off before the former Milan striker added: “Don't worry, don't worry I'm going to push up the level!”

Fabio Cannavaro asked the former striker how he found adjusting to life in the Series A during his time with Juventus. “It was different,” Ibrahimovic replied to the former Juventus defender. “Because when I went into the locker room for the first time I saw these guys beside me, and many others. It was like playing PlayStation,” he added. 

“The day before I was playing PlayStation with these guys and the next day I was playing with them, football. But after three months, they were playing with me PlayStation,” he joked again.
