Expected on the lawn of the Parc des Princes this Wednesday to face AC Milan, Olivier Giroud returned to his youthful love for Olympique de Marseille.
AC Milan has its back against the wall. After two consecutive draws to launch its European season, the Lombard club must bring back a result from its trip to Paris. And this while PSG, opening winner of Borussia Dortmund, will have to redeem themselves after their heavy defeat at Newcastle during the 2e daytime. The Rossoneri have put all the chances on their side and can count on the advice of Olivier Giroud.
“I gave advice to my partners, I am not going to reveal them but I especially gave advice to the defenders who obviously know the strength and offensive potential of this team”, explained at a press conference the one who frequents Kylian Mbappé, Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembélé in the French team.
The former Gunner hopes to play a bad trick on his partners at the Blues and he will have all the less scruples since the native of Chambéry was, when younger, a supporter of Olympique de Marseille. “Regarding Paris Saint-Germain, there was never the opportunity to sign for Paris but it is a very big French club like another a little further south (smile) that I supported when I was little (laughs)”he said in comments relayed by RMC Sport, adding: “ I am from the 86 generation so many of my generation support this club which is located a little further south.»
Olivier Giroud, whose name has often been linked to that of PSG in recent years, does not regret never having played there. “I have already been asked this question (about the interest of PSG) and I am very proud to have had the opportunity to play in big clubs, he explained. My childhood dream was to play in the Premier League, especially with the Arsenal Frenchies. It was a blessing to play there and then at Chelsea. And I also said that as a teenager I was a fan of the great Milan and I am very proud to have landed at AC Milan. I am very proud to have played in these teams and to represent the great Milan which is one of the best in Europe.
