AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud has to his name so far 4 goals in 11 appearances. Now, he is looking to continue on scoring goals to help out his teammates.
The former Chelsea attacker is satisfied with how his season started with the Rossoneri as he said to L'Equipe:
"I have the satisfaction of having started well. I have scored four goals in five home games. And I've had Covid, back problems and chronic ankle problems. But this is the daily life of a 35-year-old."
"My arrival in Italy was a little written, after the contacts I had previously with other clubs . Destiny wanted it to be AC Milan. I wanted to discover the Serie A which is very exciting. I wanted to take on a new challenge. Everything was there to boost my career."
Giroud on Ibrahimovic:
"When I signed the contract at Casa Milan there were Pioli, Maldini, the sports director Massara, my agent Michele Manuello and myself. The coach asked me about Ibra and how I saw living with him. I said that if I were not ready to compete, I would not have been in that office signing the contract. Ibra did not scare me. It is also an opportunity to be able to grow with him, to be able to continue learning with a person who has an exceptional career. Ibrahimovic is a leader. We complement each other."
Giroud continued to say:
"Ibrahimovic's charisma, his presence in the locker room and his leadership on the pitch are above all else. I am here to be an added value. But the important thing is that we are both still hungry for competition and trophies. We remain determined and even complementary."
"For me, he is a normal person. We talk about everything and nothing. After, it is true that he imposes his personality. He is very respected. I also think he has real respect for me that I have won great things and that I resist football at high levels like him. But he never forgets to remind everyone who's boss! When I signed he said I was a good 'rookie', but there was only one 'king' at Milan, and that is him."
