Olivier Giroud admits Milan’s performance against Torino was ‘not perfect, but we won and that’s the most important thing.’

Serie A | Milan 1-0 Torino: Giroud does enough

The Rossoneri did just enough to scrape a 1-0 victory at San Siro with the early Olivier Giroud tap-in, another rather ugly win after the 4-2 at nine-man Bologna on Saturday.

The results are what count, though, and Milan have won nine of their opening 10 Serie A games for only the second time, after the 1954-55 season.

“I think we played a good game. Torino are a strong team, they are aggressive in the tackle, there were many tackles with Bremer, he’s a great defender,” Giroud told DAZN.

“I am very happy because we did well from the start and Torino didn’t really threaten many scoring opportunities. That means we’ve been very solid at the back and we take the three points, that’s the most important thing.

“We play every three days, that’s not easy on the body. Everything was not perfect, but we won tonight and that is the most important thing.”

It is remarkable Milan have maintained this start with nine wins out of 10 games when missing so many players through injury.

“This is what I really like about our team, especially playing at home, we want to make the fans happy with a lot of energy and passion.

“At times, we can do better, everything is not perfect, but we take the three points, as Torino are very tough to play against.”
