It was not a total surprise, but the absence of Olivier Giroud had been the main highlight of the list of re-entry of the Blues, in September. Almost a month later, the new AC Milan player returned to this episode during an interview broadcast on the Téléfoot program, this Sunday. He wasn’t really expecting it, especially in this way.
“It surprised me a bit, especially the fact that I hadn’t been told beforehand,” said Giroud. We will raise the small pike Didier Deschamps. It is true that the downgrade of the former Chelsea, called and supported by the coach since 2012 despite the roller coaster seasons and criticism, has been swift. “But that’s how it is,” added the world champion. We must move forward and we will see what the future holds. “
