The AC Milan striker does not intend to end his career with the Blues anytime soon. At 36, he even claims to dream of participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Back in Clairefontaine, Olivier Giroud took on the costume of an elder. After the international retirements of Steve Mandanda and Hugo Lloris, the AC Milan striker is now the “oldest” in the group. In Blues since 2011, he prolongs the pleasure among the new generation. “It’s always a pleasure to be part of this team, with the Blues in Clairefontaine. The story is not over, I still want to bring my stone to the building“said the striker to the 120 selections at the microphone of Europe 1.
Asked about his choice to continue in Blues, the record holder of goals in selections (53) affirmed that his decision was carefully considered and that the position of his family had played an important role. “I want to give pleasure to my children” did he declare.
