This anecdote from Olivier GIROUD 🇫🇷 about Zlatan IBRAHIMOVIC 🇸🇪 👇😭: "He killed me when I arrived in Milan! He welcomed me and then said: 'It's cool that you're coming, but know that here, there is only one King and it's me.' 😂 A character and a great meeting." ❤️ 🎙️ @lequipe #Football #OlivierGiroud #ZlatanIbrahimovic (translated)

🎙️ You were never actually considered the chosen one, as Kylian Mbappé said? 🗣️ Olivier GIROUD 🇫🇷: "Kylian, it's a completely different trajectory, HE WAS THE LITTLE PRINCE: at 19 years old, he had a crazy World Cup, he has an extraordinary path, captain of the blues at 26-27 years old. 👏 For me, I had to work a bit harder for things, even though he also worked hard to be there. This journey is my pride. I know where I come from. When you start your career, you think about going to the blues, but winning a World Cup, exceeding 100 caps... The first time in the blues, the jersey is heavy, the first Marseillaise, you get chills. And I'm not far from scoring against the United States. I couldn't have imagined that there would be 136 to follow... MY CAREER HAS EXCEEDED ALL MY CHILDHOOD DREAMS!!! 😍" 🎙️ @lequipe #KylianMbappé #OlivierGiroud #Football (translated)

🚨 OLIVIER GIROUD 🇫🇷 ÉVOQUE COMMENT SA FOI CHRÉTIENNE A INFLUENCÉ SA MANIÈRE DE VIVRES LES ÉPREUVES. ✝️ Il évoque notamment les critiques d’un entraîneur qui avait dit qu’il n’avait pas le niveau pour jouer en Ligue 2. 👇 « Ça a été un peu dur à encaisser mais je ne lui en veux pas même si ce ne sont pas des choses qu’on dit à un gamin de 19-20 ans. Sur le fond, il n’avait pas tort car je revenais de National donc je n’avais pas prouvé. Mais ma foi chrétienne me permet de PARDONNER ASSEZ FACILEMENT ET DE NE PAS ÊTRE RANCUNIER. Je suis de nature assez humble mais le fait de lire la Bible m’a amené à encore plus d’humilité par rapport à la vie de Jésus. Je me mets à la place des gens, et quand je vois la souffrance dans le monde, je ne peux pas me plaindre. Alors même quand il y a des périodes de doute, et il y en a dans une carrière, LE PLUS IMPORTANT, C’EST DE RELATIVISER. Sans avoir de colère, j’ai eu l’envie de prouver que le jugement d’un coach ne doit pas déterminer ta façon d’être et ce que tu penses de toi-même. Quand je regardais les matches de Premier League, J’ÉTAIS PERSUADÉ QUE JE POUVAIS EN ÊTRE. J’AI TOUJOURS CRU EN MOI sans y voir une notion de revanche. » 🎙️ @lequipe #OlivierGiroud #Foi #Humilité

« JE SUIS EN PAIX AVEC MOI-MÊME ET TOUT CE QUE J’AI ACCOMPLI DANS MA CARRIÈRE. » 😌 Olivier GIROUD 🇫🇷 vit sa fin de carrière en toute tranquillité SANS AUCUNE PRESSION 👇 : « J’ai l’objectif de profiter de chaque instant. Le fait d’être rentré en France 🇫🇷 a été L’UN DES MEILLEURS CHOIX, JE REÇOIS DES ACCUEILS EXTRAORDINAIRES. 🤩 (…) Dans ta tête de compétiteur, tu as TOUJOURS PEUR DE FAIRE L’ANNÉE TROP… IL FAUT S’ENLEVER ÇA DE LA TÊTE. Moi J’AVAIS PAS TROP DE DOUTES, je voulais bien finir ma carrière. 😁 » 🎙️ @lequipe #Paix #Carrière #OlivierGiroud
