JAKARTA - Former AC Milan captain Franco Baresi believes the Rossonerri's new French striker Olivier Giroud will make a good contribution to the club.

In addition to believing this, Baresi, as quoted by Antara from Football Italia, Friday, also gave praise to Giroud for showing a good performance when defending Milan against Cagliari in the second week of Serie A.

"I have to congratulate Giroud. He did very well and he made himself there. His arrival is important, he can make a great contribution," explained Baresi.

In the second match of the Italian Serie A against Cagliari, Giroud scored two goals when helping Milan win the match with a score of 4-1.

Giroud played the full game in AC Milan's first two Serie A matches but after that he tested positive for COVID-19 which forced the 34-year-old forward to miss the Rossonerri's clash with Lazio.

The absence of Giroud in the third week of Serie A when Milan faced Lazio, made Milan prepare Zlatan Ibrahimovic to fill the vacant attacking position.

AC Milan signed Olivier Giroud in the transfer market last summer from Chelsea for a fee that is rumored to reach 1 million euros or around Rp. 17.1 billion with a contract duration of two years.

When he played for Chelsea for 2.5 years, Giroud scored 39 goals in 119 appearances and won the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup.
