What if Olivier Giroud's adventure in the United States was finally launched? After a first season without the slightest goal in Major League Soccer (14 matches, 2 assists), the French striker gradually regains colors with the Los Angeles FC. And this, despite an increasingly reduced playing time.
Now a replacement, the former Tricolor International (38) made a decisive entry last night on the lawn of the CF Montreal. While the Canadians led 2-1, the ex-Milanese equalized only five minutes after entering Jeremy Ebobisse (2-2, 77th), in surface fox.
Olivier Giroud still decisive!
This draw point allows the LAFC to rank fourth from the Western Conference with 23 points, eight lengths from the leaders, the Vancouver Whitecaps. Olivier Giroud is now totaling 2 goals and 2 assists in nine appearances. And thus confirms his clear rise in regime.
The 2012 French champion with Montpellier was decisive four times over his last five outings by scoring against Portland (April 20) and therefore Montreal, and by signing two passes against San José (April 13) and Seattle (May 15). Sufficient to convince his coach to hand over him in the tip?
