Olivier Giroud does not abdicate. Armed with his unwavering faith, the AC Milan striker is aiming to make the squad for Qatar (November 21-December 18), where he would play in his third World Cup with Les Bleus. “When there are possibilities and you are competitive with your club, if you have the possibility of playing another, I would be a liar to say that I do not want to be there”, confides to Téléfoot that which was not selected for the June rally by Didier Deschamps.
Author of a double during the match which ratified the coronation of AC Milan, the 35-year-old center-forward remains in great shape (11 goals in Serie A this season). “It is true that he is having an incredible season but it is not me who decides, it is the coach”, explained his partner Theo Hernandez, also a guest of Téléfoot this Sunday morning.
“There is still time until the World Cup, notes Giroud. There is water that will flow under the bridges as they say, so 4-5 months and we will see by then. It remains to be seen whether the train will not be definitively passed for the second top scorer in the history of the Blues (48 goals), while Deschamps has made it known that he wanted to “give playing time to other players”.
