Olivier Giroud had a blast last night as his new Los Angeles FC team won 2-0 against Austin FC in the Leagues Cup round of 16.
It wasn’t yet time for his big debut in the colours of Los Angeles FC, but Olivier Giroud had the opportunity to spend a great evening on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, while his team won against Austin FC (2-0), in the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup. The now ex-Blues striker had fun with the public and met a movie star.
Since signing with LAFC last May, Olivier Giroud has known that a new life awaits him on the other side of the Atlantic. He is already realizing it since he is now closer to his new club. While waiting to put on his jersey for the first time, the 2018 world champion shared some nice moments with the supporters. Around Denis Bouanga in particular, Olivier Giroud learned a few songs and other ways of communicating with the Los Angeles fans.
Will Ferrell in heaven
The centre forward who has played for Arsenal, Chelsea and AC Milan, was also seen in good company since at his side, it was a rather unusual supporter who spoke with him during the game. A comedic prophet in his country, Will Ferrell posed alongside the footballer, visibly delighted with the arrival of this top recruit a few months after that of another French world champion, Hugo Lloris.
If Olivier Giroud is currently a star in his club’s dressing rooms, he is impatiently waiting to be able to be one on the green rectangle, a place from where he hopes to provoke great emotions in his fans in the coming weeks.
