AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud admits he's been quickly won over by Yacine Adli.

The midfielder has been introduced this season by coach Stefano Pioli and has quickly impressed.

Giroud said, "We want to do well in this second Champions League match (against Borussia Dortmund), to do better than what we we did against Newcastle.

"It won't be a decisive match but it will be very important."

And Giroud also said of Adli: "I am very happy, he has always worked great. Before he had never had the opportunity to express his qualities. Now he can help the team and raise the level.

"I really like his mentality , reminds me of the young boy I was."
