Football Italy – Olivier Giroud, it’s Mr. 100% in Milan
Rather effective since his arrival last summer, Olivier Giroud does not necessarily have impressive statistics in Serie A. The AC Milan striker was nevertheless decisive thanks to goals scored at important times for his team.
Obviously, Olivier Giroud is not unanimous in Italy. The AC Milan striker is present in the absence of injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic. But his performances are not enough to pack Antonio Cassano, very harsh in his comments on the Frenchman. « We feel the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic so muchrecently regretted the Italian on the Twitch channel Bobo TV. With Olivier Giroud, it’s not the same thing. Against Inter Milan (2-1) and Napoli (1-0), he scored those goals but even he doesn’t know how. »

« He has never had a good game this seasoncontinued the former striker. For me, he is not a great player, even if many praise him. It will take a lot more to convince Antonio Cassano. And why not a statistic concerning Olivier Giroud’s contribution to accounting? Indeed, La Gazzetta dello Sport took a closer look at the goals scored by the Frenchman. This season, the former Chelsea player has scored 8 goals in Serie A, and not just any. While others are content to score when the difference is already made, Olivier Giroud’s achievements brought in 9 points in the league!
Olivier Giroud and AC Milan, you have to hold on until the end
In other words, AC Milan, current leader of the Italian championship after 32 days, would only have 59 points without the goals of its center forward. And would only occupy fifth place, three units behind Juventus Turin. The classification and the end of the season of the Rossoneri would therefore be very different without the efficiency of the international tricolor, who is rightly criticized for not being sufficiently decisive in important moments in the France team.
