At 37, French striker Olivier Giroud continues to be a real danger for opposing defenses. The proof is: for his third season at AC Milan – where he is under contract until next June, the 2018 world champion has already scored 10 goals and 6 assists in all competitions. No surprise to his coach, Didier Deschamps, with whom he also became a pillar of the French team and at the same time the top scorer in the history of the Blues.
“Olivier has this mental, this physical capacity to maintain himself, he still has objectives, and he must maintain himself because there is competition too!”said the 55-year-old French technician in an interview given to Téléfoot. Six months before Euro 2024 organized in Germany, the 20th professional season of the native of Grenoble allows him to further confirm his future place in the group of a selection in search of a third continental coronation after 1984 and 2000.
