Chelsea-Milan, Giroud without limits: “As long as I’m fine I continue”

He was gone as European champion. He returns as champion of Italy. Olivier Giroud finds the Chelsea with which he had lifted the Champions League before moving to Milan. In short, a particular match for the Frenchman that expires at the end of the season, but he considers himself capable of continuing on the same levels. Perhaps demonstrating it at the World Cup in Qatar, where he presents himself as the reigning champion.

The return to London

–

“Chelsea – explains the forward to the Equipe – is the team with which I have won the most prestigious titles in Europe, scoring many goals. Unfortunately I didn’t win the Premier League, but I consider my balance to be more than satisfactory ”. In London, Giroud spent more than half of his career, before choosing Milan, after having “touched” Inter in January 2020. And with the Rossoneri everything went very well, despite the age that could have been play tricks on him. However, the Frenchman has clear ideas about the present and the future: “I’ve always said it: as long as I feel good physically, I will aim for the highest levels. There is always a great motivation in my mind. Two years ago I told myself that I would continue for another two years and I still feel good. I am always here. At the end of the season I reach the end of the contract, we’ll see what happens, but I don’t set limits ”.

The desire for the world championship

–

Therefore, ambition and determination. Giroud analyzes the start of the season: “They say that the one after the Scudetto is the most difficult, but we are confirming everything. After a restful summer we recovered well and I scored four goals in eight league matches and one in the Champions League “. A spot also in a national key. Giroud does not have the guaranteed place with the Bleus in Qatar, but he believes in it anyway: “I did everything necessary to be there and with Mbappé there is no problem. On the pitch it works well between us, there is an established relationship and as Kylian says, we both like the competition. We want to win and I like it ”. Giroud is only two goals from Henry’s record, but he is ready to give it up, or almost: “Better to win the World Cup again. Then if I can match or surpass Henry, it will be a super bonus ”.
