Just when the relationship was about to end Olivier Giroud unleashed and scored five goals in the last two games of Chelsea. In the midst of a host of first-rate and much younger forwards, the Frenchman stood out with magnificent performances to enter the consideration of Frank Lampard. Even a legend of the Premier League came to his defense.
The fundamentals in favor of Giroud
Patrice Evra, a former player who knew how to win everything with Manchester United, banned his compatriot in an interview with Sky Sports. The only problem he has is his name. If it was called ‘Giroudinho’ or something like that, people would like it. For me, he is Chelsea’s most complete striker and I don’t understand him, because he is also questioned by the French team, ”said the retired defender.
“He was always facing criticism, even when he was at Arsenal. But he’s always up to the challenge and that’s what I love about Olivier. If I had him as a coach, I would play in my team one hundred percent, “continued the former footballer. Since Frank Lampard took over the technical direction of the ‘Blues’, Giroud he was relegated to the bench of substitutes frequently.
“Every season we are going to hear about a transfer saga, but he is the best forward he has Chelsea at this time, “said Evra. The 34-year-old attacker lost ground to Tammy Abraham, a 23-year-old from the ‘Blues’ quarry. To make matters worse, in the last transfer market came Timo Werner, an outstanding scorer at RB Leipzig and who has already won the title.
The present
In the middle of a few weeks in which he expressed his desire to change of scene to add minutes, Giroud he broke it and scored five goals in two games. Last Wednesday, he scored a poker in Chelsea’s 4-0 win over Sevilla to secure the group’s top spot in the Champions League. Yesterday Saturday, he put the temporary tie in the clash against Leeds United, which ended in an important 3-1 victory.
