JAKARTA - Former Arsenal player from England Ashley Cole says that AC Milan's Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has two personalities.

Quoted from Antara from Italian Football, Friday, Cole explained that the two personalities possessed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic were present in the dressing room and in front of the media.

"He has two personalities, with us in the dressing room he is brilliant, quiet, very friendly but to the media he is God," Cole said.

The former England international further said that there were times when Zlatan came to the dressing room and spoke about his opinion on the game of his team-mates.

Although honest about things on the pitch in the dressing room, Zlatan's persona will change when dealing with the media according to Cole.

"He had moments where he would come into the dressing room and really let people know about their touch, you can't run, you're slow, but in front of the media, his persona changes.

Cole and Ibrahimovic were recorded to have played in one team while defending the Major League Soccer club, LA Galaxy between 2018 and 2019.

Cole has decided to hang up his boots in 2019 after having played for English Championship division club Derby County from January to August.

Unlike Cole, Ibrahimovic is still active as a player and is a mainstay on AC Milan's front lines even though he will turn 40 in October.

Last season, Ibrahimovic recorded 27 appearances and contributed 17 goals for AC Milan in various competitions.
