Olivier Giroud

"Adorable striker" - so back in 2012 Olivier Giroud nicknamed the sports press. In addition to impressive external data (the height of the young man - 1.93 m, and weight - 88 kg) and sports victories, the man became famous thanks to the scandal, which almost destroyed the family and career of the footballer.

In his own interview, Olivier said that these events only made the athlete stronger, and did not lie. Giroud was declared one of France's top scorers, putting the man on par with zindine zidan.

The future scorer was born in the French city of Chambery on September 30, 1986. Shortly after Olivier's birth, the family moved to Forges. Like most boys, Giroud from childhood liked to drive the ball around the yard. Noticing his son's passion, his parents sent the boy to the local football club "Olympic Forges" (another name - "Frozh").

The teenager spent 5 years in the youth team, and on the eve of his 13th birthday Olivier moved to the youth academy of the professional club Grenoble.

A serious football biography began for Olivier at the age of 19. Giroud first took the field as a professional footballer in March 2006. But despite all efforts, the young man failed to gain a foothold in the main line-up.

In 2007, Grenoble loaned the player to Istra. And by the end of the season, the football club had sold the athlete to the French Tour. Among the new comrades, the young man quickly established himself as a true professional and benefited the team in 24 matches out of 44 meetings in which he took part.

The Frenchman's career gradually developed. In 2010, Giroud signed a contract with Montpellier. Already in the opening battle against Dier, the man scores a goal that brings the new team Olivier victory.

In 2011, an expected invitation to the French national team followed. Olivier scored the first goal for the country in the third match. It is not surprising that a year later Giroud was included in the list of players who applied for Euro 2012.

In the same year, the man leaves his native country and moves to England. Two clubs wanted to see Olivier in their team: Chelsea and Arsenal. An agreement was reached with the latter. The new contract was a commitment to the team for 4 years.

The Frenchman's appearance was greeted with skepticism by English fans. Olivier's specificity was to blame. Unlike most forwards, Giroud did not play the entire width of the field, but concentrated on certain segments. Such tactics allowed to avoid gaps between the enemy lines, but was unusual for supporters of classical football.

In 2014, commercial advertising agreements of different directions were added to the main work. Up to this point, Olivier advertised only sports goods of the company "Puma". Now the man's face was decorated with posters selling "Hugo Boss" and "Carlsberg" beer.

The same year Olivier suffered his first serious injury. He injured his ankle during the FA Cup battle with Everton. A survey on the field showed a suspected fracture. An in-depth study confirmed the diagnosis of sports doctors.

According to medical reports, the Frenchman was out of the team for 10 weeks, but Olivier managed to recover faster. However, the Arsenal coach still did not let the striker on the pitch, so as not to aggravate the situation.

At Euro 2016 Olivier was the author of the first goal for the French national team. The man scored a goal against Romania. And in the match against Germany Giroud was supported on the field by his team-mates Antoine Griezmann, who became the star of the championship.

January 2018 brought a change in Olivier's life. Arsenal have agreed to Chelsea's offer to sell the striker. According to rumors, the English club paid for the Frenchman 18-20 million. The contract is for 1.5 years. The salary of the footballer himself will be 90,000. a week. By the time Olivier was leaving Arsenal, he had played 252 games and scored 105 goals.

In 2011, Olivier tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Jennifer. Two years later, his wife gave birth to a football player's daughter. The happy parents named the child Jade. There were rumors among fans that Giroud's marriage was one of the strongest, but in 2014 there was a scandal.

The press learned that before the match with Crystal Palace the man's hotel room was visited by a girl. The name of the beauty is not a mystery. The footballer's lover was lingerie model Celia Kay.

Caught red-handed young people for a long time denied a love affair. But The Sun newspaper published a photo showing the footballer and the model naked.

Olivier was left with no choice, the footballer publicly admitted his guilt, for a while sat on the bench and began to visit the family therapist to save the marriage. In 2016, the couple, who overcame a difficult period, had a son Evan.

In February 2018, the player made his debut for Chelsea. The striker came out in the game against West Bromwich. After the Frenchman's transfer, team-mate Eden Hazard scored a goal. In an interview, the head coach of the club said that he was satisfied with Giroud's work.

In March 2018, Olivier scored his 30th goal in a friendly against Colombia and made it one of the top seven scorers in the history of the French national team. However, this did not save the French from defeat. Colombia won 2-1. During the match against the United States, Giroud collided with defender Matt Miazg. The collision had consequences. In the 57th minute Olivier had to leave the field due to a head injury.

In the summer of 2018, Giroud took part in the World Cup in Russia as part of the French national team. On July 15, 2018, Luzhniki hosted the final of the World Cup. Croatia, which made it to the final for the first time, lost to France 2-4.

Free from football time, which in the life of the striker is not so much, Giroud spends with his family or participates in charity events. The athlete doesn't have Instagram, but Olivier shares important events in his life on Twitter. In this social network you can find photos of a man from the cancer center for teenagers or promotional promo brand of caregivers for men's beard "Beardilizer", with which Olivier signed a contract in late 2017.
