AC Milan has a great opportunity to win the Scudetto Serie A this season.
This was said by AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud.
Giroud explained, AC Milan’s destiny to win the Scudetto is now completely in the hands of his colleagues.
AC Milan now has the upper hand in the hunt for the Scudetto.
Their closest competitor, Inter Milan, failed to take advantage of the opportunity to support the Rossoneri from the top of the table.
Inter and Milan are only two points apart. The Nerrazurri have a chance to take over the top of the standings if they can win a match in their savings against Bologna.
However, it turned out that Inter lost against Bologna. Simone Inzaghi’s men fell 2-1 at Renato Da’ll Ara.
So now AC Milan can still maintain their two-point advantage over Inter Milan.
But Milan can also be said to have a three-point advantage because they have a better head-to-head record over Inter.
Olivier Giroud also said that the fate of winning the Scudetto is now in Milan’s own hands. He then admitted that he believed the Rossoneri would be able to win it.
“I think we have everything it takes to win. We cannot hide and we are very concentrated for Sunday’s game against Fiorentina,” Giroud said.
“The most important thing is that Inter lost in Bologna, so we have our destiny in our hands. We have to keep concentrating on our football.”
Olivier Giroud then revealed how the AC Milan squad felt when they heard Inter Milan lost to Bologna. He said the defeat gave his teammates an injection of enthusiasm to chase the Scudetto.
“I think we were more excited after the Inter defeat. We have the humility and confidence to keep winning every game.”
When Inter Milan lost to Bologna, AC Milan won over Lazio.
AC Milan won 2-1 over the capital team, and one of the goals was scored by Olivier Giroud.
