Olivier Giroud has chosen to reconnect with Ligue 1 this summer after 13 years of exile and a last season played across the Atlantic, on the side of Los Angeles. It was in Lille that the experienced striker, almost 39 years old (September 30) set his luggage, already with his credit three goals scored in five outings in the red jersey.
However, the top scorer in the history of the Blues (57 achievements in 137 selections) did not leave an unforgettable memory with the Californian franchise, confined over a year to five small goals in 38 games played. A yield that contrasts with that of his successor and his ex-co-team this season.
Bouanga-Son, mind-blowing stats
This night, the Lafc dominated Saint Louis on the 3-0 score thanks to a double heung-min sound and a goal from Denis Bouanga. A tandem which thus entered the history of the MLS-the North American Round Ballon elite-since the two men scored in the space of six matches the last 17 goals of their team. A record.
With nine of these 17 trailer planted, the former Stéphanois can boast of being the second top scorer in the championship with 23 achievements to his credit. Only one less than the Goat Lionel Messi (24 goals).
Its South Korean counterpart, which has become the most expensive recruit in the history of MLS with a transfer to 26 million dollars from Tottenham is not to be outdone with eight goals and three assists in only eight outings.
