Olivier Giroud made his international retirement official on Monday. At 37 years old and after 57 goals (record) scored in 137 caps, the new Los Angeles FC striker has closed a very beautiful chapter in his career. An announcement to which the coach of the Blues, Didier Deschamps, reacted.
“Olivier can leave the French team with a sense of accomplishment. Many will remember his world champion title and his 57 goals, which are a record to date. More generally, I would like to highlight his unwavering commitment. For that too, we must say bravo and thank you. Very attached to the blue jersey, Olivier gave himself the means to wear it 137 times, which is exceptional especially when you start your international career at 25, like him. It wasn’t always easy for Olivier in the French team, but he never gave up, always showing seriousness, professionalism, and fighting spirit. I have great respect for his career, his behavior, and his sense of teamwork. I have always placed the French team above all else. Olivier too. I wish him happiness in his new life in the United States, surrounded by his family and his buddy, Hugo.“, he declared on the FFF website.
