Chelsea striker, Olivier Giroud has revealed why fellow teammate, N’Golo Kante did not ask his France teammates to give him the World Cup trophy to hold after winning it with the Les Blues last month.
The Didier Deschamps’ side defeated Croatia 4-2 in the final of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Giroud was the focal point of the attack for France, despite not registering a shot on target in the tournament, while Kante was France’s midfield kingpin.
Giroud and Kante discussed their World Cup success on Chelsea’s official Facebook page.
“Obviously, we knew that captain Hugo Lloris would be the first one to touch it,” Giroud was quoted on Daily Mail after he was asked about getting his hands on the World Cup trophy.
“I have to say I have been clever because I took the good position to touch it.
“I was waiting my turn,’ Kante said and Giroud interrupted.
“He is so shy so he didn’t want to say ‘give it to me’. So he had to wait,” Giroud said.
“Sometimes people came in front of him.
“At the end of the day, someone took it and gave it to him.”
