Olivier Giroud, the French striker who recently joined AC Milan on loan from Chelsea, has been making headlines for his impressive performances in Serie A so far this season.
Giroud's first goal for the Rossoneri came against Genoa on October 27th, and he followed it up with another two goals in the next game against Lazio. His impressive form has led to him being named the top scorer in Serie A for the week.
One area where Giroud has stood out is his tackling ability. In just four games, he has made over 150 tackles, which is an average of almost 38 per game. This is well above the league average of 16.9 tackles per game.
In fact, Giroud's tackling stats are even better than some of the world-class players in Serie A. For example, Juventus' Paulo Dybala has averaged less than 10 tackles per game this season, while Inter's Romelu Lukaku has averaged only slightly more than 11 tackles per game.
However, despite his impressive tackling stats, Giroud still has plenty of room for improvement. He needs to work on his positioning and be more aggressive when making tackles, as he often gives away too many free kicks or penalties.
Overall, Giroud's tackling abilities have been a major factor in his success at AC Milan so far this season. As he continues to perform well, it will be interesting to see how he compares to other players in Serie A in terms of tackling statistics.
