Chelsea striker Giroud: Nice to know your manager fully behind you

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is delighted with the relationship he's struck up with manager Antonio Conte.

Giroud bagged his first goal for the club during the comfortable 4-0 FA Cup victory over Hull City on Friday night.

“Of course us strikers, they need a real human relationship with the coach," he told BT Sport.

“It's nice to have the confidence of the coach, of the staff, and I just want to give it back.

“I feel like the last two opportunities [I've been given] I've brought my small thing to the big machine, Chelsea."
