The head coach of France, Didier Deschamps, commented in a press conference about the call-up for AC Milan's experienced striker, Olivier Giroud.
Here are his statements below:
"Why is it so difficult to do without him? I'm not trying to do without him (laughs). If he were less skilled, he wouldn't be here. In a very specific context, he is here for his performances with his club even though he is advancing in age."
Deschamps continued to talk about Olivier Giroud's importance:
"He will have a long season. He has had some physical problems. In the last two matches, he scored decisive goals with his club. He will have to maintain this level until the end because there is competition."
