Andrey Arshavin, Deputy General Director of Zenit for sports development, shared his memories of the forward of the French national team Olivier Giroud, with whom he played together at the London Arsenal.
Giroud on Sunday scored a goal against the Polish team in the 1/8 final match of the World Cup. On account of the 36-year-old striker was 52 goals in 117 matches for the “tricolor”. He overtook Thierry Henry (51) to top the list of scorers for the national team.
– One of the heroes of the World Cup – Giroud. You crossed paths with him in London. What did he remember then? You then scored your last goal for Arsenal in a match in which Giroud scored his first for them.
– Truth? I don’t remember. But I remember that Giroud was cheerful. The guy who always liked to show off in front of the mirror and got high on himself. Giroud was an open person, and I remember him with warm feelings, – Sport24 quotes the words of Arshavin.
