Wenger: "Giroud is strong-willed and has an extraordinary personality, he is a true team forward. ”
He debuted in the youth academy of grassroots clubs and played well at the age of 21 when he was 21 years old when he played 14 goals in 33 games on loan.
He was once the Golden Boot of Ligue 1, helping the humble Montpellier win the Ligue 1 title with 21 goals at the age of 25, and he only made his first ligue 1 debut at the age of 24.
He once scored in double figures for Five consecutive years at Arsenal, defending the last dignity of the team.
From the Europa League title to the World Cup to the top of the Champions League, between the ages of 31 and 34 is his golden age.
Fans will mock Giroud for not being talented enough, but the coaches who have used him say he is good. In the heart of the grassroots center, the team and teammates always come first, which is the reason for his success and the key point that the fans ignore.
Olivier Jonathan Giroud was born on 30 September 1986 in Chambéry, France.
The famous thinker and philosopher Rousseau and the great Renaissance poet Clement were born in this small city with a deep historical, cultural and artistic heritage, with a population of about 90,000.
Giroud grew up here, he has a lot of personality but he's very down-to-earth. Every step of his growth is thick and thin, and it seems that it takes longer to accumulate strength to make people taste his strong taste.
At the age of 13, he joined the small club Grenoble Academy, where he spent 9 years. At the age of 21, he was loaned to Istel in Ligue 2 and scored 14 goals in 33 games in a single season, and Giroud's name began to be gradually known.
At the age of 24, he made his first ligue 1 scene, and at the age of 25, he scored 21 goals and 9 assists in a single season, plus averaged 4.5 shots per game, 1.3 key passes, 1.8 fouls, won the Golden Boot and was selected for the Ligue 1 team of the year, and Took the humble weak team Montpellier to the ligue 1 title.
In the summer of 2012, with Van Persie moving to Manchester United, Wenger introduced the Ligue 1 Golden Boot Olivier Olivier Giroud for the first time, hoping he would become the next Arsenal striker. In the following five seasons, Giroud scored 13, 18, 15, 21 and 14 goals in a single season in the Premier League and Champions League.
For wasting his chances, he was derided by Arsenal fans as "the only one in the galaxy". But looking back, Olivier Giroud scored 81 goals in 5 seasons in the Premier League and Champions League, which is also his last dignity to defend the Gunners.
Most impressively, in December 2015, Arsenal needed to win Olympiacos away from home in the Champions League by two goals or more to qualify for the Champions League knockout rounds.
Olivier Giroud scored with a header to get the team off to a good start. However, he then sprained his knee, and the medical team signaled to Wenger that Giroud could not hold on. However, the French centre-forward understands that the team needs more goals and there are no other strikers on the bench.
"I'll go back on the field and end the game"
This is the answer Olivier Giroud gave to the coach. He then dragged his sore knees to high speed, scored his second goal for promotion, and finally completed a hat-trick with a penalty to make Arsenal desperate.
In the champions league round of 16 that followed, Arsenal lost 3-1 at home to Bayern in the first leg. In the second leg of the away clash, Olivier Giroud once again stepped forward. He scored in the opening lightning to give Arsenal a 2-0 win. Although he was unfortunately out of the game because of the few away goals, he also achieved the reputation of "Arsenal standing dead".
In the winter transfer window in early 2018, the 31-year-old Olivier Giroud was sold by Arsenal to their city rivals Chelsea. Arsenal fans thought they had a better tomorrow, but they didn't think it would be the golden age of Giroud's own career.
Although already a substitute in the Premier League, Olivier Giroud scored 11 goals on goal in 46 shots in the Europa League in 2018-19, not only winning the Golden Boot, but also helping the Blues win the title.
In the 2020-21 season, the 34-year-old Olivier Giroud appears to be more marginalized. But he scored a staggering 6 goals in the most important Champions League game, scoring 10 shots on goal in 256 minutes! Especially in the Champions League knockout match against Atletico, Olivier Giroud scored the only goal of the game, making a huge contribution to the Blues' final rise to the top of Europe.
If you're willing to trust Giroud, he won't disappoint in the most critical moments. As a grassroots debut, Giroud was always able to withstand unimaginable pressures and explode with amazing energy. Wenger was ridiculed by fans when he praised his extraordinary personality, and now Arsenal fans are crying and reminiscing about the old days.
The same is true for the French national team, although Benzema is more powerful and more popular with fans. But as long as Giroud is on the pitch, he will make Mbappe and Griezmann better.
In 2018, Giroud helped France to the top of the world as a main force, which is in stark contrast to the return of Benzema in the summer of 2021, which is the final 16. It's not that the difference in strength between the two is huge, but Mbappe's journey from star-studded World Cup star to 0 goals in the European Cup also shows the value of Olivier Giroud.
Not to mention that in the list of all-time top scorers of the French national team, Giroud scored 46 goals and ranked second in history, behind Henry with 51 goals. He has a strong scoring ability in his own right, and all he needs is more trust.
Not just a good center, Olivier Giroud is a good guy
As a man who came out of a small town with a deep historical and cultural heritage, Giroud can not only burst out of energy under pressure, but also has a noble character.
During his time at Arsenal, he dedicated his 50th Gunner career goal to a girl who had just died. Giroud, who had broken the door at the time, pointed his fingers to the sky and then made a "J" gesture. This is a little girl from the south of France, and Giroud even visited the hospital during her lifetime to thank her for her support.
In the French national team with a very complicated atmosphere in the team, Giroud is not only a good helper for Griezmann and Mbappe on the pitch, but also always strives to make his teammates more united and harmonious under the pitch.
After Benzema returned to the line of fire before the European Championship and stole the starting main position, Giroud was able to face the taunt of "karting and F1", but was able to face it calmly and laugh.
In the warm-up match before the European Championship, Giroud came on to play twice in place of the injured Benzema. After the game, he teased his teammates for not passing the ball to him, otherwise he could have gained more, but it caused Mbappe's strong dissatisfaction and tit-for-tat confrontation.
Faced with an aggressive young genius, Giroud takes the initiative to find Mbappe to apologize to him. He even specifically explained that this statement was not aimed at him, but the reporter unexpectedly misinterpreted what he wanted to express.
Although Mbappe was reluctant to forgive, giroud, as the eldest brother, did everything he could. When he came off the bench in the European Cup, Giroud still sent a wonderful pass for Mbappe. The single knife against the Hungarian goalkeeper was also the moment Mbappe came closest to scoring at this European Championship.
Now Giroud has started a new stop in his career, from Ligue 1 to the Premier League to Serie A. He will be Ibrahimovic's rotation to help RETURN AC Milan in the Champions League.
The biggest fear of the big club is that there is no room for two tigers on one mountain, but Giroud's career has coexisted successfully with too many top strikers. Even as a substitute and a rotating role, Olivier Giroud is always ready to help the team.
Any manager and a big team will be eager to get a Giroud of their own. Because he is not only a good player, but also has a strong heart and a heart that can tolerate the misunderstanding of fans and teammates.
