Olivier Giraud: 557 tackles in 12 seasons at AC Milan
Olivier Giraud is a French professional football player who has made a name for himself as one of the most accomplished defenders in Serie A, with over 557 career appearances and a tally of more than 400 clean sheets to his name.
Giraud began his career at Nice FC before moving on to AS Monaco, where he played for four years and helped the team win two Ligue 1 titles. He then joined AC Milan in 2014 and immediately established himself as a key member of the team, contributing to the club's three consecutive Serie A championships.
In addition to his impressive defensive record, Giraud is also known for his versatility and ability to play both as a central defender and a wing-back. His physicality and aerial prowess have earned him comparisons to some of the greatest defenders in the game, including Patrice Evra and Marcelo.
Despite his success at AC Milan, Giraud has not been immune to criticism, particularly regarding his perceived lack of goal-scoring ability. However, he remains a beloved figure among fans and teammates alike, and his dedication to the sport and his commitment to winning make him a true icon in Italian football.
