At 36, Olivier Giroud is still dashing. Called up to the France team, the man with 124 caps (54 goals) is still one of Didier Deschamps’ chosen ones despite his age. It must be said that the Rossonero continues to shine with AC Milan (4 goals in 3 Serie A matches). A longevity hailed by Didier Deschamps.
“It is his merit. He has the physique that allows him, the lifestyle, the mind. He has this desire to stay at the top level. He did it last year, there he is off to a very good start. A few years ago, 35 years was the limit. Today, there are quite a few who are close to 40 years old. It is also the fact of having fewer injuries, everything has improved, the preparation on the medical level. But with that, you need the mind, the state of mind. Olivier has it and it’s a very good thing”he confided in a press conference.
