Olivier Giroud is delighted he left Chelsea for AC Milan this season.
The veteran striker says he long was a fan for the Rossonero.
"My dream was to play in England, but in Italy, it was only Milan. Andriy Shevchenko was my favourite striker," he said.
“I've also watched many videos of Marco Van Basten. I remember the Champions League Final against Liverpool [in 2005] very well. I was sad. They were 3-0 up and Sheva missed the decisive penalty kick. In 2007, they won it again. Milan are a great club."
He continued: “It hurt to see Milan behind with Juventus ahead. From what I can say, Milan lacked a figure like Paolo Maldini. He attends training sessions every day. The coach does his job, but the club is always close.
“There is nothing left to chance," the ex-Chelsea striker continued. “If a player trains well and is competitive enough, the coach will notice it and give him a chance. Training sessions are intense and Serie A is competitive again, unlike when Juventus dominated."
