Giroud has raised his experience in Los Angeles since his arrival in MLS, including earthquakes, forest fires and burglary of his house.
Olivier Giroud, who joined Lafc from AC Milan last summer, admits that its beginnings in MLS and America were difficult. The French winner of the World Cup revealed the ups and downs of his new life in California, including an earthquake during a training session, devastating forest fires that affected the Los Angeles region and a burglary in his family home.
However, despite these challenges, Giroud remains positive, appreciating the lifestyle and the opportunities offered to his family in Los Angeles.
“It reminds me of London a little. I lived nine years in London and I really like this city. We can do a lot of family. In addition, we have the ocean side, which is really nice. It's a bit far from Europe but I like the lifestyle and visit other regions of the United States, “Giroud told Sun. “I took my family to different places in California, but I really want to go to Hawaii and San Francisco. I took them to Las Vegas, to San Diego. Maybe also in New York, if I can, to take a break.
“The weather is nice almost every day. We feel far from home, like on vacation every day. It is not yet the vacation period, but perhaps in a few years. I'm really here to bring my experience to the team and to continue playing to win. »»
“I was afraid”
“Since my arrival in Los Angeles last summer, we had three power outages in five days of ten, twelve and fifteen hours”, he said. “” There was a huge earthquake while we were in the training ground. There were all these fires. It was a really sad situation. People have lost everything. We thank the first stakeholders and the firefighters who did an incredible job. It made me really sad. I was afraid. »»
“I also had a bad personal experience (theft at home). I hope there will be better days in the future. This is part of life. Sometimes we have good days and sometimes difficult times. It was a wish to finish here in the United States and to give my children this opportunity to discover another way of life. »»
