A timeless striker: at almost 37, the French striker is preparing to lead Milan’s attack in view of the Derby della Madonnina against Inter, after a record-breaking start to the season
He had never experienced a start like this in his career. At least in Milan. Nor when it had arrived as an alternative to Ibra before soon becoming a regular in the Scudetto year, nor last season when on the contrary, despite being the designated starter, he had started with the handbrake on.
The numbers of a record start
In the first three league games 2 goals the first year, only 1 in the second and even 4 in this start, counting penalties against Bologna and Rome. As soon as 52 minutes of goal average. Olivier Giroud timeless bomber jacket. The identity card evidently charges him and makes him responsible. Not bad for someone who will easily turn 37 on September 30th.
Essential for the Rossoneri and the national team
The Milanisti love him, Deschamps can’t do without him in the national team. Despite the generational change represented by Mbappe, Thuram e Bike MouaniOlivier continues to be the point of reference up front, having scored 8 goals in 15 games from September 2022 to September 2023 also considering the 4 in the world. If he could, Pioli would put it in a display case. He knows that Giroud will need to take a breather every now and then during the Champions League / championship double match and that’s why he pushed so hard to have Colombo’s replacement. Jovic will have to elbow though to have space. French, in hierarchies, cannot be touched. The older he gets, the more he plays, the more he scores. The owner’s shirt for now is always his. Inter awaits him.
