Back in Ligue 1 This summer, Olivier Giroud scored his first goal with LOSC against Brest, on the first day of the championship. He had already marked three times during the preparation with the Lille team. The proof that at 38 years old, the French striker still has a bright future ahead of him, but not enough to consider a return of the former three-color international to the French team, according to Guy Stéphan.
“For the French team, I think you shouldn't think about itsaid Didier Deschamps' assistant at the microphone of Telefoot. At that age, that would surprise me and besides, it is not someone who makes decisions lightly and when he decided to take his international retirement, it is that he had really decided. ” During his presentation press conference in Lille, the former arsenal player had also closed the door to the French team: “The French team, I don't think about it. I no longer think about it because I received an extraordinary tribute in March which touched me a lot, moved a lot and I closed the page. It has been extraordinary years, but now you really have to give way to young people. Here, I don't have this goal in mind. It is behind me, even if I am the first supporter of the FRNACE team. ” Olivier Giroud is to date the top scorer in the history of the Blues, with 57 achievements.
