France team: Olivier Giroud does not yet have his ticket for Qatar

On the black screen of his sleepless nights, Olivier Giroud had probably not built up such a scenario. Suddenly, the 70,000 spectators at the Stade de France stood up for him! A real plebiscite in the Dionysian city. Accompanied by the ovation of the public, the soon-to-be 36-year-old Milanese, author against Austria (2-0) of his 49th goal for the France team, two units from Thierry Henry’s record, returned to the bench light-hearted, wandering spirit. Along the way, he received a warm hug from Didier Deschamps.
