Arrived last summer in the United States, after announcing his international retirement with the French team after Euro 2024, Olivier Giroud seems to flow happy days in Los Angeles. And this, even if he has still not scored the slightest goal in Major League Soccer with the LAFC. In 17 championship matches, the tricolor striker (38 years old) must be satisfied with two assists, his two unique goals having been registered in US Open Cup and Leagues Cup.
This scarcity must necessarily weigh a little about the morale of the competitor that is the top scorer in the history of the Blues, whose place of holder is no longer insured in his club. So the international truce will fall timely. The former AC Milan player will also take the opportunity to return to France, where he can find his former teammates of the selection. Reunions are already scheduled for Sunday, March 23, at the Stade de France.
Olivier Giroud honored by the FFF
That evening, Didier Deschamps' men will receive Croatia, in the quarterfinals return from the League of Nations, and the FFF has planned to organize a tribute to Olivier Giroud on the sidelines of the meeting. Whoever scored 57 goals in 137 selections in the blue jersey will therefore be celebrated as it should be by French supporters. Hoping that this great celebration will be accompanied by a qualification of the Habs for the last square of the competition.
“” I wanted the elders to benefit from a tribute from the fans. It is Olivier Giroud's turn to receive a tribute from the Blues and the FFF for his journey with the national selection “announces the president of the federation, Philippe Diallo. If Antoine Griezmann could not be released, “It's awarded”: “When the time comes, he will also have the tribute he deserves. It is a very natural tribute that French football owes him.“”
