He already greeted his people during the match against Salernitana, as well as his teammates upon his return from the mini tour in Australia, but Today is officially Olivier Giroud’s last day in red and black. From today the attacker is free to find a new team, even if in reality there will be no need because Last April, the Frenchman signed with a well-known MLS franchise, Los Angeles FCa team in which legends of European football have played, or still play, such as Giorgio Chiellini, Gareth Bale e Hugo Lloris.
In a recent interview with Le Figaro, Giroud explained the reasons behind this decision, saying that: “It’s a bit of everything. Being away from my family during international weeks, traveling a lot, playing more games weighs on me. I made a career choice that was more family-friendly by signing with Los Angeles FC. Everyone knows that when you leave for the United States, it’s harder to return to the national team. In any case, I feel an undeniable physical and mental fatigue.”
In his 3 years in red and black, in addition to winning a beautiful Scudetto as a protagonist, Olivier Giroud was the one who broke the curse of Milan’s number 9 shirtand the numbers confirm it. With the Devil’s shirt, the French striker has in fact collected 132 appearances, 20 assists and 49 goalsor approximately one every 185 minutes.
