Giroud, Milan ask him for overtime for the Scudetto comeback – Corriere.it

The pride for having played in a World Cup as a protagonist, but also the anger for how it ended, for that final lost on penalties, but above all for that substitution before the break that he didn’t deserve and that he will struggle to get out of his mind. I wanted to change Mbapp’s position and play in a different way, Didier Deschamps then tried to explain, but he will hardly have convinced
Olivier Giroud, who after dragging France to the final with 4 goals deserved another treatment, certainly not to go into the world for the only culprit. angry, ha desire for revengesays those who heard him in these last few days of vacation, during which he tried to put his disappointment behind him and recover his energy in view of the resumption of the championship.

Milan awaits him. And she needs him more than ever. Despite the more than 50 days off, the emergency has not in fact given Pioli a break, who for Salerno will have to solve an attacking puzzle where he will not be able to count on Origi or Ibrahimovic, who are still unavailable. Two hypotheses on the table, both adapted: Rebic or De Ketelaere. Not therefore excluded that Giroud is immediately asked to work overtime, as happened throughout the first part of the season, when he played 19 games out of 21, scoring 9 goals.

Despite being 36 years old, Oliviero is living a second youth with the Rossoneri. 2022 was a magical year for him, his imprint on the Scudetto was decisive, with the brace in the derby that rewrote the championship. I hadn’t played for a long time, so he admitted himself, letting it be understood that he intends to continue his experience. The contract expires in June, but Maldini and Massara already have a renewal ready to secure him for another season with a salary slightly higher than the current one, which is around 3.5 million euros. In January there will be a meeting with the Savoyard center forward’s agent, who arrived from Chelsea in the summer of 2021 for an indemnity of 2 million euros. And to think that many were sceptical. Instead it was a bargain.

I will return to Milanello tomorrow together with the other veteran of the final, Theo Hernandez, also eager for revenge for the lost opportunity. For the Scudetto comeback, the Devil will also need their anger.
