We almost ended up thinking that the story of Olivier Giroud in the France team was over. After a Euro where he had only played 40 minutes, the second top scorer in the history of the Blues had not been called up for the resumption matches in early September. Subsequently, he had expressed his moods in the press. Didier Deschamps assured that the sportsman was the only reason for his absences, he kept his word by recalling him when Karim Benzema, calf hit and package against Barça and with the Blues, is no longer there. The two are definitely linked in the France team, whether they like it or not.

As he shines with Milan in Serie A, Giroud saw list after list of others preferred to him. This call proves that he was, in the spirit of “DD”, not far in the hierarchy. Facing Ivory Coast and South Africa, Giroud, 46 goals in the France team, will have two opportunities, if he plays, to get closer to Thierry Henry and his record of 51 goals with the jersey of the national selection. His last international achievement dates back to a double against Bulgaria in preparation for the Euro, on June 8, 2021. As a reminder, Deschamps called up Wissam Ben Yedder, Kingsley Coman, Moussa Diaby, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappé, Christopher Nkunku and therefore now Olivier Giroud for these two meetings at the end of March.
