like the world cup?...
nah, Giroud being called up just highlights Deschamp's attacking limitations when it comes to coaching. He doesn't know how to use a player like Lacazette, or even Mbappe as strikers in his setup. Deschamps only idea of attacking playing is getting it to the wing and crossing it to the target man. Having anybody else who isn't great at heading the ball as a target man will throw a monkey in his wrench. He can't coach a technically gifted striker that plays with the ball at his feet. Hell, Giroud has a better scoring ratio on the nation team than Benz(except he doesn't do it in tournaments)...
Wrong. You can't say there's limited coaching options when his coaching option not only worked in won them the damn world cup. Again, as @Kunty McPhuck said Laca or Martial woulda been the flash options even Benzema, but that wouldn't have won them the World Cup. The CBs HAD to respect Giroud's ability in the air AND keep in mind his hold up play is PHENOMENAL. Low key, he's one of the best one or two touch passing #9's in Europe. That's integral when you have finishers like Griezmann and Mbappe in the side. It kept their approach play from becoming one dimensional.
Also, when you look at how all their matches played out. Giroud was down there mixing it up with the CBs playing off Griezmann. And sure enough around the 65th or so minutes you would see CBs get tired or CDMs getting stretched out. I don't think people realize how exhausting it is to have a old school, scrappy, big #9 to defend for an entire match.
The song is Ramenez la coupe a la maison (bring the cup home).
I wonder if Griezmann cares that Kimpembe gets a shout out before him.
