Forward “Lille” Olivier Giroud commented on the whistle of the stands after the defeat in the match of the 19th round of League 1 against “Strasbourg” (1:4). In the 80th minute of the match, the attacker left the field, and the replacement of the player was accompanied by disapproving roars from the Great Dane fans.
“The schedule of games is very tight, we are exhausted both physically and emotionally, but right now it is necessary to show unity.
We can overcome this stage only together. I expect that the fans will be on our side. What I heard caused me conflicting emotions.
Everyone associated with the club – players, coaching staff and fans – must rally. Only together will we return to winning results.
Such situations are a part of football life, worse things have happened in my career. But everyone’s contribution is important for success, because we share triumphs and defeats with everyone. I don’t think that the team lacks self-sacrifice, rather it’s something else,” Giroud is quoted as saying by RMC Sport.
