France team: the call of Giroud's foot to Deschamps before the list of the Blues

2021-10-30T13:02:35.898Z


The striker, put aside by Didier Deschamps since the end of the Euro, still dreams of wearing the selection jersey.


Didier Deschamps will unveil next Thursday the list of the Blues selected for the last two qualifying matches for the World Cup in 2021 (against Kazakhstan on November 13 and Finland on November 16).

An appointment that Olivier Giroud will inevitably wait with a little impatience even if the AC Milan striker is unlikely to be one of the lucky ones.

Because the world champion, even if he has been snubbed by the coach since the end of the failed Euro (elimination from the round of 16), continues to believe in his lucky star in the France team.

"I did not close the door and I do not know if one day I will say that I am retiring internationally"

Olivier Giroud

In an interview with

BeIN Sports

, the second top scorer of the French selection with 46 goals (five units behind Thierry Henry), admitted that he was totally focused on his club but that the selection also always made him dream.

It's something extraordinary,

” admits the neo-Milanese with gusto.

I have not closed the door and I do not know if one day I will say that I am retiring internationally.

There is a coach who makes his choices, I am available, as always,

”insisted Giroud.

Olivier Giroud lost his place with the Blues, Karim Benzema settled Panoramic

Didier Deschamps did not need this media release to know that his favorite ex-striker was still available.

But with the installation of Karim Benzema at the forefront of the attack alongside Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann, places are now very expensive, even to be in the group.

"

I'm not going to explain this to you any more than I did."

I make sporting choices compared to other players who are present and who gave satisfaction at the last gathering,

”had firmly justified the boss of the Blues on the absence of the 35-year-old Chambérien.
