At 03:00 on June 18th, in the first round of Group D of the European Championship, Austria will face France. Ahead of the match, French forward Giroud attended the pre-match press conference.
On Thauvin:
Giroud: “He’s an Inter player and also my little brother. I’ve spoken to his dad (L Lilian Thuram), and he told me that his son has a lot of respect for me. There’s no competition between us on the pitch; I just need to support him.”
On Mbappe:
Earlier today, AS reported that Mbappe missed training, raising concerns about the French star’s fitness.
Giroud said: “We’re not worried. They gave him a rest yesterday. I’m not part of the medical team, and missing a few training sessions doesn’t mean he’s unhealthy. Don’t worry, I think he’s ready for the first game.”
