Thierry Henry on Olivier Giroud: "In the past three or four years it seems like he’s struggling for starts with his team at club level, but whenever he plays – whether it’s at club level or in the national team – he often delivers."
"I know people will tell me that he didn’t score a goal at the World Cup, but at the end of the day he lifted the trophy so it doesn’t really matter. Olivier is the type of striker that is kind of dying right now. The old school, holding the ball up, passing the ball to the winger, getting into the box and breaking your neck to score with a header.
"I think it’s great for Didier Deschamps to have a striker like Olivier and if he goes on to beat the record, amazing."
Giroud is 5 goals away from becoming France's greatest ever goalscorer 🇫🇷
