AC Milan coach Pioli considers Ibrahimovic and Giroud as pairing

AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli is weighing up whether to pair Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud together.

The veteran duo could start against Torino on Tuesday night.

“The two games in which they played together were special," he said. “The matches changed. We have different characteristics with them together.

“Now they are not 100 per cent, but they have to put continuity into training and games."

Pioli admits they've conceded too many goals in recent games.

He added: "It's an aspect we must improve. We need to be more careful from a tactical point of view.

“A greater compactness must be the target for tomorrow's match, even if we are a team capable of always scoring one goal more than the opponents."
