Giroud is again mister Wolf: the first half to forget, then the goal

The man of providence has fulfilled his role once again. Mesdames et messieurs, to you Olivier Giroud, the mister Wolf who solves Milan’s problems. A pleasant habit that this time, more than ever, made all the difference in the world. The Devil once again clings to the shirt of his French bomber who likes a world to enter the scene when the script gets complicated.

The more complicated it is, the more he enjoys it, even if to be honest, Monsieur Giroud could have intervened before his Milan lined up seven games without a win. Giroud turned, he sings the Curva Sud as always and this time too, like so many others, it’s not just a way of saying because Oly, with that twist on Hernandez’s perfect cross, really turned after taking Djidji’s time.

SCENARIO

—

Twist, spit and ball into the corner pocket. And then, that crest on the shirt kissed in anger. Anger of the good, genuine one, of those who felt the full weight of personal and collective responsibility on their shoulders. Because when the ship takes on water, it’s up to people like him to do the repair work. The Meazza called Ibra, who finally returned to the bench eight and a half months after his last appearance, but Olivier materialized and, frankly speaking, it wasn’t exactly the most probable scenario. At least, not judging by what we saw in a bad first half – yes, that’s the term -, along which Oly has struggled bloodily. She struggled because he is not allowed to rest. Pioli has the possibility of leaving even an untouchable like Leao on the bench for two games in a row, if he doesn’t see him in good shape. But Giroud is not. No because the alternatives right now are not credible. And then there is the fact that the Frenchman struggles even just to stop a ball. He tried to sneak away into the area, to play on the side, to raise the team. All useless, for a while.

THAT KISS

—

Then Milan finally turned on the light, and he with Milan. Three sparks in eighteen minutes: an assist for Leao, a shot that Milinkovic managed to defuse, with the help of a teammate, a few centimeters from the goal line. They were warnings to sailors (grenade). The general rehearsal of the goal that brought the Devil out of a nightmare that lasted over a month. There is one particularly significant figure that celebrates Oly’s game: he is the oldest player to have been involved in more than 10 goals this season in the top five European leagues. Seven goals and four assists, and now the total goals this year are 11. The team’s top scorer, complete with a kiss on his shirt. A few hours after the meeting for the renewal of the contract, on which the final agreement is still missing, it’s a great sign.
