Olivier Giroud scored 4 goals for Chelsea on Wednesday night, in impressive functionality in the face of a Seville look that is sometimes very strong at home. The French striker is gradually reaching the Blues’ all-time scoring record, but is struggling to secure a steady playing time with Chelsea.
Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham have been well received by Giroud in recent times, however, with Leeds United waiting this weekend, Frank Lampard may not yet have a selection to praise Giroud with a start.
The former Arsenal player, however, has remained entrenched and remains shy about being potentially used from the start as opposed to Leeds:
“Well, yes, when you win an outdoor game in the Champions League, it’s a smart feeling and smart team functionality. We took the game from the front foot, and we were also effective from the beginning because I yeard 4”. Goals.
“Yes, I didn’t know until two years ago that you called him the best hat-trick,” Giroud said as he spoke to BT Sport when he reminded him that he had scored with his right and left foot in addition to a header. “When I checked against Kiev in the Europa League, they told me that and I said, what do you mean?”

Giroud continued:
“Let me enjoy the night and this beautiful victory. Then we’ll rest and see what the gaffer’s plan is. “
Olivier Giroud’s long career at Chelsea remains uncertain, and there is a good chance that the Frenchman ahead will leave Stamford Bridge in January if he has won the guarantees of fit time.
As the European Championship approaches, Giroud will have to beat the festival from a number of more sensible stars to gain initial prestige: Kylian Mbappé, Wissam Ben Yedder, Antoine Griezmann and Anthony Martial are competing for a place.
Deschamps has already hinted that Giroud would possibly want a move to have a better chance of selection.
“Olivier Giroud knows that the scenario in which he digs up cannot last forever. Before March, you’ll need to locate another scenario than this,” said the French technician.
“I never give advice, I give an opinion. In the end, it’s the player’s decision. He’s had confusing conditions to deal with.
“Today, it’s not smart for him, will he stay the same or better?It’s up to him. He knows what I’m thinking, although I don’t do everything he’s done and everything he can do yet. “
France’s next team will be designated early next year, with enough time for Giroud to face a new “situation” if necessary.
