The Chelsea forward says that he would have appreciated the advice of his countryman before the forthcoming World Cup semi-final
France striker Olivier Giroud has admitted that he would have preferred legendary striker Thierry Henry to be in Les Bleus’ dugout as opposed to the Belgium one for Tuesday’s World Cup semi-final.
Henry is an assistant coach to Roberto Martinez in the Belgium set up and has worked closely with the forwards, who have played their part in helping the team reach the final four of the competition.
The ex-Arsenal attacker’s loyalties will be stretched in the St Petersburg clash, though, as he is France’s all-time leading scorer with 51 career goals in 123 matches.
