Blues coach Didier Deschamps undoubtedly said too much this Sunday about the future of Olivier Giroud.
He is perhaps the big winner of the Blues’ setback against Germany on Saturday evening in Lyon (0-2). Demanded by the public at Groupama Stadium, acclaimed when he entered the game, Olivier Giroud played on his qualities for half an hour, weighing much more on the defense of the Mannschaft than his counterpart Marcus Thuram, holder for the occasion, and more incisive than Randal Kolo Muani without much impact when he appeared in the last 10 minutes of the match.
In the eyes of Rolland Courbis, despite his age, Olivier Giroud does not really have a rival in the French team at the moment. “ Rather Thuram, Giroud or Randal Kolo Muani? I stand by what I said before the match. No number 9 has come to pose problems for Giroud’s profile. In terms of benchmarks and as a fixation point, it is more logical to start the match with Giroud, even if he is 37 years old and we do not make him play 95 minutes. He brings a certain presence, with a head game that’s not bad at all. »
Head to MLS
An attacker who is still green, therefore, but at the end of his contract at AC Milan and whose future raises questions. This before the hardly customary indiscretion of Didier Deschamps this Sunday morning on Téléfoot. Asked about the possible future destination of the former Gunner, the Blues coach let go somewhat. “ Is it done ? No. Is this a possibility? Yes. A desire ? Yes “, says Deschamps when talking about a reunion between Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris, who plays for Los Angeles FC.
Very recently, the Italian press reported the interest of the Rossonero and top scorer in the history of the French team for MLS, the North American football elite. The two New York clubs and the two Los Angeles clubs were then mentioned, with a possible preference in fact for the Californian franchise recently joined by the former goalkeeper and captain of the Blues.
