As reported by Milan News, Stefano Pioli ended the training session recently by calling the players together so they could congratulate the Frenchman on his achievement.
Giorgio Furlani, Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D’Ottavio were in attendance as well, and Furlani said the following to the former Arsenal and Chelsea striker: “Congratulations on behalf of the club and above all on behalf of all the AC Milan fans for the 100 matches.”
Giroud has always been very vocal about how proud he is to play for Milan and how much love he has for the club, and that is reflected in what he said after receiving congratulations from his team: “Thanks to everyone, thanks to the club, thanks to the coach, thanks to you guys, I am very proud of this and also very grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy it even at 37 years old. When I was younger I was a Milan fan. With all these great players who played for Milan… I’m very proud.”
Giroud was suspended for the last Serie A game against Fiorentina after the red card he received against Lecce, but he will be back in action tonight against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
