The confidence of Giroud and France: “We are three games away from making history again”

Olivier Giroud, France’s historic scorer, was confident with his team’s performance in Qatar 2022 and remarked that they are “three games away from making history again” and becoming two-time world champions, after the title in Russia 2018. We are confident of repeating the success of 2018, but there are still three games to win. We are three games away from making history again. We know that doing so would be huge. But now we are only focused on the game against England, “said the attacker, who joined the team due to Benzema’s injury. The striker spoke in a conference after training, and was asked about the record he broke as France’s top scorer by reaching 52 goals, one more than Thierry Herry. “I’ve been in the National Team for 11 years, where I lived high, very high moments and also some lows. The most important thing is to set a good example, for young people who want to believe in the dream,” he said. In this sense, he was proud of his achievement: “I arrived at the national team with 25 years, I did not play at a high level with 20 years. If it can serve as an example, it is an immense pride. You can’t have everything right away in life, which is what today’s young people want.” Finally, he valued that his relationship with Kylian Mbappé (23) “is very good” and clarified that “it always was”. “This is the enthusiasm we want to convey to the team,” he concluded.
