This guy is now one France's top 10 all time goalscorers

benzema only has 4 more, no wonder the french hate him

Giroud is great at getting sweaty undeserved goals, he really has wasted his career at Arsenal who only want to play the ball on the ground.

>>74902940
where should he have gone

>>74903114

I think he can get into any of the big teams in England, maybe not as the main man but you never know, he could fit the system better and have a 25 goal season. I guess he's happy at Arsenal where there's no consequences based on performance, it's a club for players with no ambition.

>>74902904
isn't benzema french too?

>>74903243
He's Algerian

>>74902745
He's a big guy

>>74903243
and he's been playing forever, over 20 caps ahead of girpoo but only 4 goals ahead

makes you think

Apparently he's also a very devout Christian

desu senpai, I'd like to see Jiroo, Griezmann, N'Golo and co. win the WC for France

>>74903322

What else would you expect from the most complete striker in Europe?

>>74903418
Before coming here, I studied your astral situation. I would like to use it as a thread in this interview. I start with the number 9, seemingly the number of your life. That is quite good for a centre forward no?

Well no… for me, the number of my life is 7. Even if I do not ask for it on my shirt. The 7, is a mystical number, of faith, of Christ. The seven sacraments, the seven sins, the seven joys and the seven sorrows of Mary. But I am not superstitious. The proof, is that I play with the number 12.

At Montpellier, I chose 17 because I was advised against the 9 shirt which never worked at that particular club. I took 17 which was Bruno Carotti’s, who I knew well. And it had the 7 in it. In the French national team, the 9 was available, it was offered to me, so I took it. I did not ask for anything. I promise.

How are you dealing with this frustrating season? I read that your mother gave you a book, “Invigorating Thoughts,” by Françoise Garagnon, that you flick through regularly. Does it help you?

There is not necessarily a link with anything spiritual in this book. The reference for me is rather A Moment With Jesus, by Sarah Young. Thanks to this book, each day I share an exchange with Jesus. That allows me to start my day right. Each day corresponds with a text, a thought.

And on your arm you have another biblical thought inscribed…

Yes, “With the Lord as my shepherd, I shall not want.” I grew up with Christian values and I have always felt safe conforming to them. These serious words on my arm reassure me, I know that if I need something, help, I can pray.

Even during a match?

Sometimes I have prayed in the middle of a match, yes. Sometimes, when everything is not going the way that I want, I seek help from Jesus. That helps me concentrate again. To focus on what is essential. Speaking to him allows me to clear my mind. It only goes on for a few seconds, but it helps me to rid of my frustration.

Weird. I thought France was mostly secular apart from the crazy Muslims.

When Dembele moves up from u-21 Benzema won't get a game. He'll just have to stick to fucking underage trannies.

>>74903977
Good life desu

>>74903240
Giroud was sorta meant to be the backup for van Persie, but he went to manu and Giroud became first choice. He should be used as super-sub desu.

he is just another ungrateful shit that wants a world cup

Yes, indeed.

The 50s were a different time when it comes to sports.

>>74905718
Wtf why do French have so many butts?

>>74906665
I think it's fair of him to say. Knowing he's playing for France just to try and get a decent international career, it's every NT coach to make the decision wether or not they want this type of player in the team.

>>74904079
He's slow as fuck. He could never be a super sub.
He's literally just a fucking target man. No technicality. Even his finishing is sub par compared others France could use as the #9.

Convinced they just need a quota for whites on that team.

>>74911087
>le pace maymay

Go back to playing fifa senpai

>>74911087
not his biggest fan, but you need a player of his kind in a team, bigguy4u who can keep the defenders busy, be an aerial threat and make his team mates play in front of the goal
deschamps' mistake in the euros was to take an inferior giroud in gignac as his sub when he should have called gameiro or lacazette instead

>>74911496
This. Giroud is probably the best non-Ibrahimovic target man right now. He needs a quick partner in a system with two forwards to shine, see France after switching to 4-4-2 in the Euros. I don't get why Wenger isn't trying it out with Sanchez or even fucking Walcott, he's got the players to get the most out of Giroo but his 4-2-3-1 obsession is worse than Mourinho's.

>really makes you think
in fact it doesn't. some people are more fortunate then others, or simply very specialized.
there's no doubt that Ronaldo was one of the greatest CF in the history of football, but there was Klose to surpass him on WCs, despite being a vastly inferior player. both merited their doings and that's just natural.

>>74911496
this. hoof to the big man who knocks it down for his better partner isnt a meme.

>>74911087
He won the league with Montpelier ffs
