Didier Deschamps refused to answer directly this Thursday to a question relating to the possibility of seeing Olivier Giroud compete in the 2024 Olympics.
There was a meeting this Thursday on the side of the French Football Federation, with the announcement by Didier Deschamps of the list of twenty-three players summoned to participate in the last gathering of the French team before Euro 2024 (June 14-July 14). If the coach has not made a big change, he has once again counted on Olivier Giroud to support the group. And Didier Deschamps was invited to answer a question concerning the top scorer in the history of the Blues, in connection with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Cited among the three A players that Thierry Henry would like to take with him to the Olympics, the AC Milan striker could be tempted by the experience. However, the busy schedule and the sequence of the Euro and these famous Olympics could prove to be a little too heavy for the French veteran. In the meantime, Didier Deschamps was questioned on the subject. But obviously, the French coach did not want to comment at all and preferred to kick in touch.
“Thank you Randal”
“ For this question, you will see with Thierry Henry, he will answer. » A reply sent with a smirk by “DD”, to the journalist who questioned him. But he still added after a little silence: “ That he wants to be there, I am convinced. Like all players. If you know someone who tells you: ‘I don’t care’. » To which, one of the journalists present responded to the coach that Randal Kolo Muani had precisely left this in between.
Enough to make the interviewee say, again with a big smile: “ Thank you Randal for being an example. I don’t know if it’s the right one, but at least there is one. » As for Olivier Giroud, we will therefore have to wait a little to know whether or not he will compete in the next Olympic Games. Thierry Henry will perhaps also comment on the subject.
