As the top club of European football in the past, AC Milan has created a series of incredible records, but unfortunately in the past 10 years, the Rossoneri has fallen into a downturn, not to mention the competition for the league title, even participating in the Champions League has become extremely difficult, this embarrassing situation has not improved until Pioli came to coach, last season with the help of core players such as Ibrahimovic, AC Milan won the second place in Serie A.
Pioli was able to win the league runner-up with the not-too-forming Rossoneri, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Italian coach has become the real man THAT AC Milan is looking for. Runners-up in the league is obviously not Pioli's ultimate goal, but it is not easy to win the final title, and the extremely powerful Inter Milan and Juventus are undoubtedly the two big mountains that Pioli needs to face.
The loss of Donarumma and Char Khan Oulu, the main players of the two teams, has undoubtedly affected the overall strength of AC Milan. Due to the club's limited financial resources, it can only bring in some less expensive players to strengthen, including the replacement centre-forward Olivier Olivier Giroud who spent 1 million euros to bring in Chelsea. As he grew older, Giroud gradually lost his place in the Blues, and the overall data could only be said to be average.
With the arrival of werner and Lukaku, Tuchel clearly looked down on Olivier Giroud. In order to maintain a stable playing time and thus have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup in Qatar, Olivier Giroud chose to join AC Milan. Giroud's choice proved to be very correct, and under Pioli's careful guidance, the French veteran burst into a second spring, scoring a terrifying 4 goals in the last 2 games.
With Olivier Giroud's outstanding performance, AC Milan held inter milan tightly in the league table, trailing by one point in more games, still maintaining the hope of winning the championship, while in the Coppa Italia, it eliminated the powerful Lazio to reach the top 4. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Olivier Giroud can maintain his healthy form and maintain the strong momentum he has now, it is also possible that Pioli will lead AC Milan to a strong double this season.
Meanwhile, Werner and Lukaku have performed poorly at Chelsea, with Werner scoring six goals in 19 games and Lukaku scoring nine goals in 26 games, both less than Giroud's 10 goals in 22 games. Seeing That Pioli completely activating Giroud, I don't know if Chelsea will regret letting go of the French veteran easily, in fact, Giroud's scoring ability is not bad, as long as Tuchel uses it properly and can still help the team, Abu has obviously missed.
