Join Lille! 38-year-old Giroud: Will not return to France. The MFA game plan is not suitable for me

38-year-old center Giroud, who played for the FC in the FC last season, officially joined Lille. He talked about his feelings about joining at a press conference.

Girou: "I first received a call from Lille chairman Olivier about two weeks ago, and since then I've been attracted by Lille's plans. Returning to the French League after 13 years is a rare opportunity and a huge challenge for me, and I'm very happy."

"I know there is a lot of expectations for me, but I'm not here as a savior. I'm back to France with a wealth of experience and career experience. I'll play the role of a big brother in the locker room, and I will do my best to help the team whether on and off the court. I know this return will cause a big hurdle. Note, just like Paul (Pogba). But rest assured, I am in good health and I am ready for this new challenge. "

" It is very important for me to end my career in France, even though it was not my goal a few years ago. But Olivier's invitation and the opportunity to be able to approach family and friends made me decide to return to this country I like. Lille fulfilled all my expectations, and it was an important challenge, and I can't wait to work with Bruno (Genecio), who is a great coach and our football philosophy is very compatible. "

" competition It has always been the driving force for me to move forward, and I believe Olivier and Bruno will form a competitive and diverse offensive line. Although I am 38 years old, I am still in good health and I will keep playing until my body tells me to stop. I have motivation, determination and passion for football. Although I am not sure if I can play every three days, I am very excited to be able to play Lille in the European Cup, which is a very pleasant thing. "

" My performance in the UEFA League was not ideal, but it did not affect my confidence in my abilities and physical condition. I also chose to go back to a familiar league , join a team that I think is in line with my style. The MFA game plan is not for me. "

" I need a challenge to push myself forward, and joining Lille this time is a good opportunity. This team has beaten Real Madrid and nearly reached the Champions League quarterfinals, and I am very much looking forward to it."

" I no longer think about the national team. I received a very touching tribute in March this year, and I have turned that page. It was a very wonderful years, but it is time to give way to the young people, even though I am still the number one supporter of France."
