Designated penalty taker at AC Milan this season, Olivier Giroud did not convert his penalty kick before half-time against Bologna on Saturday at San Siro. The French international does not convince Lombard supporters in this exercise.
Olivier Giroud missed the opportunity to score his fifth penalty of the season with AC Milan (out of his eleven goals in all competitions), Saturday evening during the Bologna reception at San Siro. Then trailing by the score, the Rossoneri obtained a penalty kick for a foul on Simon Kjaer which was hotly contested by the visitors (Thiago Motta even being excluded from his bench).
The problem for Giroud is that he hit his penalty badly. His cross shot from the left, not very powerful, was easily captured by Lukasz Skorupski, the Polish goalkeeper of Rossoblu (42nd). Fortunately, in the process, the locals equalized through English midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek (45th).
Milan fans, visibly unconvinced by the 37-year-old French international’s penalties, are demanding a change in number 1 shooter. Can Stefano Pioli shake up the hierarchy? In any case, Théo Hernandez and Rafael Leao were once responsible for penalties (even in the presence of Giroud), while Christian Pulisic is the official shooter for the American selection…
