French striker Olivier Giroud, the author of the first goal for France in the 3-1 victory over Poland in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar 2022, ensured a goal that made him France’s greatest historical scorer ( 52), that he had the desire to score to stop talking about that record.
“I’m a bit frustrated because I didn’t score on another occasion that I had before, because I wanted to score and stop talking about this record issue,” said the Milan attacker, who in his 52 goals beat Thierry Henry.
“Having done it is something great, I can only feel happiness,” added the player, marking that figure with his fingers after scoring the goal from Kylian Mbappé’s pass.
Giroud assured that France “started the game well”, but acknowledged that later Poland “created problems”. “At that moment Hugo Lloris appeared, who brought us back into the game with a save,” he said.
“From that moment we knew how to make a difference and bring the game resolved,” said Giroud.
