DBasia.news – The striker is a trending position for Chelsea so far. Not only focusing merely on Morata, but Maurizio’s habit to place Eden Hazard as the false nine also triggers Olivier Giroud’s frustration.
When Morata is about to join Atletico Madrid, Olivier Giroud is still in his remaining six-month contract with Chelsea.
Besides facing the fact that Sarri preferes Hazard as the center-forward, Gonzalo Higuain’s arrival won’t make everything better for Giroud’s career in Chelsea.
Responding to the current situation, Giroud admits that it’s difficult to accept Sarri’s decision to place Hazard as the striker.
“It’s not me who decides the team, making the starting XI, but obviously every single player wants to play every single game,” Giroud told ESPN FC.
“As a competitor obviously I can’t be happy to stay on the bench, but I keep that frustration with me and try to transform it to positive energy to work hard in training.”
“It’s true that every time I play from the start I try to bring something to the team, to play my part. But in these 14 games I started maybe only half of them, so it’s a bit difficult to be consistent in this case. You need to play a few games in a row to be competitive, so that’s what’s a bit difficult in this last month.”
