Thierry Henry outshined Olivier Giroud sets a record

The 44th minute was in the Al-Thumama Arena of Doha when Olivier Giroud wrote history. A smart plug-on pass from Kylian Mbappé, a quick start of Giroud, a low shot from twelve meters-and already Poland's goalkeeper Wojciech Czerny was beaten. France led and was now on the very best of the quarterfinals and Giroud with his 3rd goal at this World Cup. Before the playing of Qatar, the AC Milan enemy stood in 49 goals for the national group and hence took second location behind Thierry Henry in France's leaderboard. It was clear: a great competition of Giroud-and the record could be his. The 36-year-old did not even require 90 minutes to set Henry's record in Qatar. At France's opening video game, the 4-1 win over Australia, Giroud scored the meantime 2-1 and later had eviction to the final result-a double pack, with which Giroud was opened to Henry. And now he is the sole record holder. It is remarkable to be able to go beyond Thierry, stated Giroud after the 3-1 win over Poland in a very first TV interview, but my goal is to keep choosing the team. The French are already in the quarter-finals, however the path ought to continue. And he likewise wishes to make a contribution: Olivier Giroud, who does not have a simple stand in his home nation.

France becomes Giroud World Champions

At the 2016 European Champions he was considered by his own fans of Buhrfufen, however at the 2018 World Cup he was an integral part of the starting eleven in six of the 7 video games, but he did not even make a single goal shot in the course of the whole competition. How huge Giroud's share of the title is.

National coach Didier Deschamps estimates the body and the presence of the opponent that his critics consider him awkward and too inflexible to keep up with Mbappé and Humane Dembélé in France's high-speed offensive.

The ghosts have been divorcing to Giroud for years, however now he has reached a brand name that is immovable: Olivier Giroud is with 52 objectives of France's record goalscorer.
