I should be banned for 40 games for Alaba elbow, jokes Ibrahimovic

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Zlatan Ibrahimovic has joked that he should receive a 40-match ban for his alleged elbow on David Alaba during Sweden's Euro 2016 qualifier with Austria in Vienna on Monday night. The home players were furious when the Paris Saint-Germain striker escaped a red card for catching the versatile Bayern Munich midfielder in the face with his right arm. However, Zlatan, who stands 1.95 metres tall, insisted that it was an accidental collision caused by the difference in height between two players. “He [Alaba] goes into me twice and the third time I try to shield the ball and he [Alaba] is 1.50m or 1.60m tall and then it's clear that he's struck by my elbow," he told reporters after the game. "But the referee blew for a free-kick so of course he has got the situation under control. "But if not, I should get a 40-match ban!"
