Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud believes that his improved link-up play with midfielders Eden Hazard and Willian are signs that he is adapting to life at Stamford Bridge, the Frenchman said. Former Arsenal player Giroud, 31, made his second start for Chelsea since his January transfer in Saturday's 2-1 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace. "I'm adapting well, I try to have a good understanding on the pitch with the number 10s like Eden and Willian," Giroud told the club's website (www.chelseafc.com). "He's been very efficient in the last weeks, he's doing very well and he's on a good run," Giroud added. Playmaker Willian scored in the first leg at Stamford Bridge before his goal was cancelled out by striker Lionel Messi.
