AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahmovic hopes to play against Inter Milan in the January Supercoppa.

Ibrahimovic is in the final stretch of his recovery from knee suergy.

The two city rivals will meet on January 18, then again on February 5 in Serie A.

“When you step onto the pitch and the opposition fans jeer you, that is the moment I enjoy the most, the one that makes me feel alive," Ibra told Milan TV.

“Nobody can stop me after that. The more they jeer, the better. I prefer them to jeer me rather than applaud, because throughout my career everything has gone against me, never in favour. So I prefer it like that, to feel fired up.

“If I can win after that, it's the best sensation there is. This is why playing against Inter is a great feeling, obviously it means more than the other fixtures, but you mustn't lose focus or concentration. That can happen if you lack experience.

“There are also some players who feel it too much and lose control."
