Olivier Giroud Good Luck in the FA Cup

DBasia.news – Chelsea will meet Arsenal in the 2019-2020 FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday (1/8).  On paper, Frank Lampard’s squad is more favored to win the final match.

There are several factors that make Chelsea worthy.  One of them is certainly a significant difference between the two clubs in the final standings of the 2019-2020 Premier League.

Chelsea is ranked fourth.  While Arsenal underwent a difficult season so only ranked eighth.

In addition there are other factors that make Chelsea a great chance to win the oldest tournament in the world.  The presence of Olivier Giroud was a factor in question.

The French striker could be said to be a good luck charm for the team he defended when competing in the FA Cup final.  Of the four occasions, Giroud always managed to help his team come out as champions.

Giroud first appeared in the FA Cup final in 2014 while still defending Arsenal.  Although not scoring goals, he posted an assist for the Gunners’ winning goal to end Hull City’s resistance by a score of 3-2.

One season ago, Arsenal returned to the final and challenged Aston Villa.  Giroud contributed a goal and helped Arsene Wenger’s team win 4-0.

In the 2016-2017 season, Chelsea were victims of Giroud’s luck in the FA Cup final.  Eden Hazard and his friends must be defeated by a score of 1-2 from Arsenal.

Giroud’s fortune in the final match continued even though he no longer defended Arsenal.  Chelsea who brought it in the middle of the 2017-2018 season immediately felt the effect.

The 2018 FA Cup Final seemed to reinforce the efficacy of Giroud’s talisman.  Chelsea were able to come out as champions after beating Manchester United.

It is not impossible that the efficacy of Giroud’s talisman in the FA Cup final will continue this year.  Interestingly, he will face Arsenal, the club that made his name popular in this tournament.
