Olivier Giroud’s Ambition to Enter Chelsea First Squad
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Chelsea striker, Olivie Giroud, claimed to have ambitions to get into the main squad of manager Frank Lampard’s choice. This season Giroud is indeed not the first choice of the Blues manager.
“I am a Chelsea player, so now I have to go forward and look forward. “I want to give everything to the team and this is a personal target of mine to play as much as I can in order to appear in the European Cup,” Giroud said at Soccerway.
Olivier Giroud has only defended Chelsea six times this season. Most recently, he appeared as a substitute (replacing Michy Batshuayi in the 68th minute) when facing Manchester United on Tuesday (18/02) AM.
In the match at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea lost 0-2. Giroud actually scored a beautiful goal, gored the ball from Mason Mount’s cross. Unfortunately, his goal was disallowed after the referee checked VAR for offside.
Although disappointed, Giroud insisted he had not given up. He remains determined to seize the main place at Chelsea.
“At the moment, I’m 100 percent focused on Chelsea’s target and I want to keep trying to score again. “Every game is a great opportunity for me to show my desire to do so,” said Olivier Giroud
Chelsea themselves are now in fourth position in the English League standings. The Blues have collected 41 points from 26 matches. In the next game, Chelsea will host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.
