Hakan Calhanoglu recently came out with a brutal response to Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the veteran striker mocked him during the Rossoneri’s title celebrations.

The pair were teammates at AC Milan during the 2020/21 campaign, where Inter Milan won the Scudetto.

But Calhanoglu, despite risking controversy, decided to join Inter for the 2021/22 campaign and in a cruel twist of fate, his former club ended up winning the first title in more than a decade.

During the celebrations, Zlatan famously took the microphone and yelled “Hey, send a message to Hakan.”, actions which Calhanoglu has now decided to address.

While speaking on Tivibu, as per Football Italia, the midfielder slammed Zlatan as an “old man” saying the veteran should not be speaking in the manner he usually does.

“He is a 40-year-old man, not 18, so I wouldn’t do that sort of thing at his age. He just likes being the centre of attention. He didn’t contribute to the Scudetto this season, he barely played, but will do everything to be the focus anyway.” Calhanoglu said in sentiments that are now going viral.
“Besides, he is the one who always calls me up, asks me to go out to dinner or for a motorbike ride. He wrote about me in his book too. He had to write something, or it would’ve been blank pages. It’s best not to bother, honestly.”

The Turkish midfielder went further by claiming Inter were the better club than Milan, despite missing out on the Scudetto last season.

“Inter are a much stronger squad than Milan,” he added. “We lost a derby that changed suddenly at the 75th minute after Ivan Perisic and I were substituted. We were leading 1-0 and then lost 2-1, so the coach contributed to the defeat and I told him as much.
