Olivier Giroud has said that it is an honour to have matched Zinedine Zidane’s scoring record for France, and now he has David Trezeguet in his sights.
The Chelsea forward scored his 31st goal for the national team in a 2-0 friendly victory over Ireland in May as the preparations for the World Cup ramp up, matching the legendary No.10 in the process.
Zidane got his goals in 108 matches, while it has taken striker Giroud 73 games to move joint fourth in his country’s all-time leading goal scorers.
The 31-year-old striker has his eyes set on overhauling Trezeguet, who is three goals better off.
