Giroud: I was close to joining Inter Milan two years ago, Maldini’s presence makes Milan a good atmosphere
Live it on May 7. In an interview with reporters, Giroud talked about the topic of Italy and Milan. He said that he was close to joining Inter Milan two years ago, and that the presence of Maldini gave Milan a good atmosphere.
About my ties to Italy
“When I was 20, I started growing my hair long, in order to emulate Cannavaro and Nesta. My brother even gave me an Italian national team shirt, that beautiful Sky blue shirt. In the 1994 World Cup, because France failed to enter the main stage, I always supported Italy in that World Cup. When Baggio missed the penalty in the final, I also cried. But in the 2006 World Cup , I support the French national team 100 percent.”
About himself being close to joining Inter Milan and about Milan
“I was very close to joining Inter two years ago. Thankfully, I stayed at Chelsea that year and won the Champions League with the team. After leaving the Premier League, I didn’t want to go to Spain and Germany, nor I didn’t want to go back to my home country, France, so I chose Italy. I like Italy, it makes sense to join Milan, and Shevchenko and Van Basten are still my idols. I have always had a crush on Milan. Special memories, players like Maldini and Costacurta always make me feel different about Milan.”
About Paolo Maldini
“A football club always needs a sense of belonging for the players, and some clubs just lack that. Maldini comes to Milanello every day and pays attention to the work that Pioli does every day, his commitment to the team. The situation is very well known, so what’s happening right now is no accident. So in Milan, because of Maldini, almost no one complains about them playing less time because the sporting director is watching everything. For me, This club environment makes me more motivated to give my best for the team.”
About Pioli
“Pioli? He’s very similar to Girard, the coach I was at Montpellier, where I won the Ligue 1 under Girard, hopefully I’ll be in Piol too We won the Serie A trophy with Milan under Leigh. At the beginning of the season, our goal was to play in the Champions League next season. But we are Milan, and as the season progresses, considering the record we have achieved, we Immediately adjust the goal to winning the Serie A trophy.”
