Will we see Olivier Giroud again in the jersey of the France team? At the moment, it's hard to imagine it. Retired from the international scene for several months, the current top scorer in the French selection (57 goals) nevertheless remains associated with the Blues. It must be said that the 39-year-old striker continues, as we write these lines, to display an attractive face. Back in Ligue 1, more precisely with LOSC, after a contrasting spell in MLS, the native of Chambéry has, in fact, made a more than convincing start to the season under the tunic of the Mastiffs.
With 3 goals in 8 matches in all competitions, the 1m92 left-hander weighs in on the Lille attack front. An interesting performance for the French international with 137 caps. So obviously, many observers today are starting to dream of an incredible comeback with the French team. Yes, but here it is, in an interview given to The Teamthe main person concerned, for his part, wanted to calm things down.
You should never say never!
“There is already a very big massacre currently, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in the French team. And coach Deschamps didn't need to call on me. Either way, he knows my position on this. It’s great for Jean-Philippe Mateta that he’s been called up. It’s also a great example that he can taste all that at 28 years old. Plus, she seems like a nice person to me.”first recognized the striker who played for Chelsea, Arsenal and AC Milan.
Relaunched, LOSC number 9 has not completely closed the door to a return to Clairefontaine. “Afterwards, if there is an even bigger massacre and the coach, at some point, is in trouble, it will be… We will have to think. I was honored in March by the FFF tribute at the Stade de France and I am not a fan of comebacks. But once again, because it's the French team and because it's a duty to defend your country's jersey, you should never say never. If there is a need, and I am competitive and available, I will be there. But it's really very unlikely. You have to be serious”. The message has gotten through!
