Author of a double, Giroud (39 years old) had a moment of amused exchange with Rami (soon to be 40 years old), now a consultant. The two 2018 world champions showed great complicity.
“ Olivier, here live from Paris: Adil Rami. I don’t know if you remember me.” launched the former defender to begin the chambering. Giroud, current top scorer in the French team, responded with humor: “How’s my Adil?” I missed you. Still so beautiful. » The funniest moment came when Rami was surprised that his former teammate could see him on the screen: “Do you see me?“. Giroud did not miss the opportunity to make fun of his impeccable hairstyle: “ But yes, I see you, with your hot water cut,” provoking hilarity from the set.
Olivier GIROUD finally relieved
The relief of the double scorer
On the pitch, Olivier Giroud’s double was synonymous with relief, ending two months without scoring. He first opened the scoring on a service from Romain Perraud (40th), then doubled the lead from the penalty spot (77th).
“ I’ve been waiting for this goal, the cages have been a little small for a few matches.” he declared. “They are cycles and it is a great relief when success and efficiency return. I hope this is the start of a good series. » Thanks to this victory, Lille moved up to 4th place in the standings, five points behind Lens, the 3rd. Giroud displayed the club’s ambition: “ We had a big challenge to make in the rankings, we will try to hang on to the three in front, to give them a hard time. It was important from an accounting point of view to pick things up. »
