Olivier Giroud once again scored the minds by setting a decisive goal for the LOSC during the victory against AS Monaco, bringing his career goal total to 350. His performance was praised by fans and observers, raising the question of his possible return to France, under the direction of Didier Deschamps. This question, raised in particular by his friend Adil Rami and the journalists, was addressed by the Lille attacker.

In an interview, Olivier Giroud answered this question with caution. He emphasized the emotion and privilege he felt in a tribute last March, expressing gratitude to his family. While remaining open to the future, he stressed the importance of leaving room for young talents who aspire to join the French team. Giroud said he had accomplished his mission in selection and that it was now up to the young players to write their own story.

Although its answer can be interpreted as a categorical refusal, the wording “never say” has aroused a strong reaction on social media and in sports media. In any event, the essential thing is that Bruno Genesio can count on a talented player like Olivier Giroud in the LOSC. The attacker seems perfectly integrated with his current team and continues to give the best of himself.
