Strikers live and die with the goals they score. Yes, they are expected to create chances and wrestle the opposing defenders, create gaps with their movement, draw defenders out of their positions etc – but let’s face it – strikers are nothing if they don’t score goals.⚽️ GOOAL OLIVIER GIROUD pic.twitter.com/kF54sNvBA6— Milan Posts (@MilanPosts) July 31, 2021 Olivier Giroud moved to AC Milan after playing in England for nine years. It’s a move that could be daunting for even the most experienced players – but Olivier has already made himself comfortable. The best way to do that is, of course, by finding the back of the net. Giroud has scored within five minutes of making his Milan debut in a pre-season friendly at OGC Nice in the south of France.Milan’s new number nine may be 34 years old and considered a has-been by too many fans – but we can agree that those people aren’t true football lovers nor they know the game very well. Olivier Giroud is sure to be a hit in Italy – especially when he gets to know his new teammates better and establishes an understanding with his attacking partner Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The match at Alliant Riviera ended in a 1-1 draw after Giroud’s firm header denied Amine Gouiri’s spot-kick goal.The class is still with Olivier!
