Olivier Giroud has taken a hilarious swipe at France teammate Matteo Guendouzi as preparations for a World Cup semi-ultimate conflict with Morocco proceed.
- Giroud enjoys joke at Guendouzi’s expense
- Former Arsenal pair in France World Cup squad
- Champions making ready to face Morocco in semis
WHAT HAPPENED? Guendouzi handed his fellow former Arsenal man as the pair walked the halls of France’s training centre and joked: “I’ve overtaken Giroud, let’s go”, to which the forward quickly replied: “Not in the goalscoring charts, in any case.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Giroud prolonged his lead as France’s file goalscorer by netting in Saturday’s quarter-ultimate win over England, making it 53 in whole. Guendouzi, in the meantime, has scored simply as soon as in his seven caps.
WHAT NEXT FOR FRANCE? The reigning world champions proceed their bid to retain the trophy towards Morocco on Wednesday.
