Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes he “became a machine” at Juventus, thanks to Fabio Capello’s constant shooting drills.
The Swedish striker joined the Bianconeri from Ajax in 2004, but was initially known more for his showboating than goalscoring.
“In the beginning it was not about scoring goals, it was about who had the best skills, the best technique and I brought that with me wherever I went,” Ibrahimovic told BBC Sport.
“That changed when I came to Juventus. Everything was new for me. I was like, 'Wow, big club, big players, big Coach, big history’.
“From the first day after training I heard Fabio Capello scream 'Ibra!' and he just pointed. He had taken guys from the academy and youth team and I trained with them. They gave crosses and I scored, every day for 30 minutes.
“Sometimes I just wanted to go home because I was tired and did not want to shoot any more - I didn't want to see the goal or the goalkeeper.
“I would just hear 'Ibra!' and I knew what it was. I was shooting, just shooting, good shots, bad shots.
“In the end I became a machine - in front of goal, score a goal - especially in Italy, where as a striker it’s the most difficult position because they are so tactically good.
“I remember a game against [Milan defenders] Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta.
“You only get a half chance and behind them you have Dida and you have a world-class goalkeeper, but I had that luck that I had Gianluigi Buffon as a training partner and in front of him was Lilian Thuram and Fabio Cannavaro.
“If you ever got past them you had pain and then you had to get past Buffon, so I had a good environment to score goals and the goals would come as long as you trained.”
