Didier Deschamps spoke at a press conference this Monday about Olivier Giroud’s good start to the season (4 goals, 2nd top scorer in Calcio, with AC Milan, 2nd in the Italian championship). “It’s his merit, he has the physique going for him, the healthy lifestyle, the mind too. He has this desire to maintain himself at a high level. He did it last year, he’s off to a very good start. A few years ago, 35 was a bit of a limit, today, some are close to 40 or getting there. Everything has improved, preparation… Olive (36 years old) has this state of mind. »
On Thursday, the France team will face Ireland at the Parc des Princes.
