Didier Deschamps has cast doubt on the presence or not of Olivier Giroud in his list for Euro 2024, which will take place next summer in Germany.
Unlike Hugo Lloris or Raphaël Varane, Olivier Giroud decided to continue his love story with the France team after the 2022 World Cup final lost against Argentina. It must be said that the former Montpellier player is still performing well with his club AC Milan, where he has already scored 10 goals and delivered 6 assists in 23 appearances this season. Enough to guarantee him a place in the “DD” list for Euro 2024? Nothing is less sure…
During an interview with the Téléfoot show this Sunday morning, Didier Deschamps put a little pressure on the top scorer in the history of the Blues by reminding him that the competition was going to be tough for him.
“It must be maintained because there is competition”
“Olivier (Giroud) has this mental, this physical capacity to maintain himself, he still has objectives, and he must maintain himself because there is competition too! »confided the French coach, who encourages the Savoyard to string together matches and good performances.
At the beginning of December, Olivier Giroud suggested on RMC that he could end his international career after the Euro in Germany, where, of course, he sees himself next summer. “I miss this Euro. If we win it, I will bow out, he declared. This may also be the case if we don’t follow through. I enjoy every moment. I said with some guys that if we won the 2022 World Cup, I would retire. But I’m hungry for titles with my country. I have many hopes and ambitions. If it goes well, it may be a possibility. »
