'Count on me, grandpa's not dead': Giroud expresses desire to start for France, highlights what makes him unique

Olivier Giroud hasn't been able to get a start at the Euros so far but the Chelsea striker is anything but disheartened.

Speaking to Chelsea's official website, Giroud said, "I’m not finished, far from it.

"Count on me, grandpa is not dead! I’m almost 35 but have the hunger of a 20-year-old guy.

"The France team has a fairly incredible strike force, but I have a card to play because there are not other players with my profile. I am here to respond and bring what I like to bring.

"I know how to do it with this team. I have the desire and, if the young people want to move me out, they will have to be ready too."

Having struggled to score in a 1-1 draw with Hungary, Deschamps will be tempted to turn to Giroud, who will be able to create more space for the explosive Mbappe.
