A page of the French team is turning. It was in the pipeline, but it is now official. This Monday evening, Olivier Giroud announced on his social networks the end of his international career with the French team.
The top scorer in the history of the French team was one of the most outstanding players in recent years in Bleu where he was crowned world champion in 2018.
After his announcement on his social networks, his coach Didier Deschamps did not fail to address strong words to him.
” Olivier can leave the French team with a sense of accomplishment. Many will remember his world champion title and his 57 goals, which are a record to date. More generally, I would like to highlight his unwavering commitment. For that too, we must say bravo and thank you. Very attached to the blue jersey, Olivier gave himself the means to wear it 137 times, which is exceptional especially when you start your international career at 25, like him. It has not always been easy for Olivier in the French team, but he has never given up, always showing seriousness, professionalism, and fighting spirit. I have great respect for his career, his behavior, and his sense of teamwork. I have always placed the French team above all else. Olivier too. I wish him happiness in his new life, in the United States, surrounded by his family and his buddy, Hugo, » he said on the website of the French Football Federation.
