Follow in the footsteps of his accomplice Zlatan Ibrahimovic and join the stable of his friend Hugo Lloris: it is with these ideas in mind thatOlivier Giroud crossed the Atlantic to sign with Los Angeles FC last summer, after closing his chapter at AC Milan.
With his experience at the highest level, the top scorer in the history of the French team had legitimate ambitions in America. But for the moment, his experience in Major League Soccer is more than mixed. To the point that the ex-goleador of the Blues does not escape criticism.
Giroud, a difficult experience in the United States
At 38 years old, Olivier Giroud has not yet cleared his account with Los Angeles FC. His teammate Maxime Chanot wanted to come to his aid. “The problem with Giroud is that he arrived in the middle of the season, it was not easy. He didn’t have a break and we were in full swing for the moment. He arrived in a team that was doing well », Explained the Luxembourg international in After Foot.
“ He didn’t have a very good season from an accounting point of view because he didn’t score a lot of goals, but he gave us a lot. Summarizing it only to its goals would be dishonest », concluded Giroud’s teammate. Strong words that should not leave the attacker indifferent.
