Before crossing the Atlantic to join the United States and Los Angeles FC, Olivier Giroud will have one last adventure in the selection. Selected by Didier Deschamps for Euro 2024 in Germany, as in every international competition, the number 9 of the France team will play his last major tournament with the Blues, as he indicated. In 2022, during the World Cup in Qatar, the AC Milan striker almost did not come. Didier Deschamps, who counted more on Karim Benzema, warned him of a short playing time.

“At the time, I almost didn’t want to be in the band at all because he thought it was going to be hard for me not to play and put my ego aside. He told me what he had to tell me and I proved that I was capable of it. Destiny then meant that I had playing time. There, it’s different. I looked at the list with much more serenity. Afterwards, there is still competition, the coach has several strings to his bow with different profiles. » he explained to the newspaper The Team. This year, the top scorer in the history of the French team (57 goals) and world champion in 2018 will leave with starting status. He will try to obtain the last title he is missing: the Euro.
