Hero of the weekend thanks to his save in the AC Milan goals, Olivier Giroud was entitled to a few barbs from the French team staff upon his arrival at Clairefontaine.
Olivier Giroud had an unforgettable moment on Saturday against Genoa (1-0). Although he did not score, the top scorer in the history of the France team took on the role of hero in the final minutes of the match by taking Mike Maignan’s place in the Milan goals after the expulsion of the tricolor goalkeeper.
And if there were only a handful of minutes left to play, the former Gunner was called upon, signing a courageous exit while the Genoese were pressing to equalize. A rescue duly hailed since Saturday and which earned him the congratulations of the Blues staff on Monday at Clairefontaine.
Guy Stephan did not hesitate to criticize him, praising his “glance” when a free kick landed on the crossbar.
