Milan football player Olivier Giroud spoke about the placement and semi-finals of the Champions League, as well as about the new contract with the “Rossoneri”.
Milan managed to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, after eliminating Napoli in the quarter-finals. Now they have a duel with city rivals Inter.
Giroud never imagined that Milan could go this far, and now their appetites have obviously increased.
“It will be a ‘derby’, Milan will be on fire. An incredible match that guarantees the Italian team a place in the final. The city is going to experience something amazing and so are we. The only time I got to the semi-finals, I won the Champions League with Chelsea and we were also underdogs. We were not the favorites this time either, but we eliminated Napoli”, said Giroud for “L’Equip”.
He also praised his teammates, especially Rafael Lea and his compatriot, French goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
“Milan is slowly returning to where it belongs thanks to a good team. There is intensity and great toughness, which is our strength. Starting from me to Mike (Maignan). It brings us peace and confidence, that’s very important. We are a solid team with a future, but we have to improve every day. The team is young, even if I “kill” its average age a bit,” said the Frenchman.
