After the game between AC Milan and Torino, which the former won 4-1, Olivier Giroud shared his thoughts with the media. The Frenchman bagged a brace and now has three goals in two games.
Apart from the goal conceded, which came out of nowhere (Torino’s only shot on target), it was a perfect night for Milan. Four goals scored and another three points added to their tally, boosting the confidence further.
Giroud bagged two goals himself and both came from the spot. The Frenchman won the battles against Milinkovic-Savic and how has three goals in two games. Speaking to DAZN, as cited by MilanNews, he shared his thoughts.
There has been a lot of talk about a deputy for Giroud, but you are always there. Ibra said he was Benjamin Button, but doesn’t Milan have another one?
“I get too much pleasure playing with this team. It shows on the pitch, we have fun with a great team spirit. When we win, it’s always a beautiful evening. Deputy Giroud? I don’t know, maybe we already have him in the team. We’ll see.”
Do you have more weapons than last year?
“We can compete and do well in the Champions League, Serie A and also in Coppa Italia. We have many qualities with these young players that we have signed. We have many solutions.”
How is it playing with Leao and Pulisic?
“I think we’re very compatible, complementary. In the sense that one goes deep, the other likes to have the ball at his feet, we like to play a one-two. There are still some things to perfect, but we can see that we are having fun on the pitch. But not just the three of us, with everyone. I don’t like playing against this team [Torino], man marking all the time, it’s difficult for me. But we handled it well tonight.”
How is the new group?
“For me, the most important thing is team spirit, and the guys who have arrived have that spirit. It’s the mentality of Milan, never give up and always fight to the end.”
Milan will face Roma next and the game is scheduled for Friday next week. It will take place at Stadio Olimpico and it remains to be seen if Stefano Pioli will field the same starting XI yet again.
