Arsenal’s Giroud: I’m more of a model than a striker!
The Frenchman Olivier Giroud came to Arsenal with a reputation of being a pin-up in his native country, and has reinforced the image of a ladies man with revelations of late night trysts with beautiful women before important Arsenal games.
Now he has admitted that he more likely to be known as a pinup like David Beckham or David Ginola than a top striker like Ibrahimovich! Giroud told Sport&Style in France: “I was sometimes called ‘the French Beckham.’
“It’s nice. He built a very popular image among women.
“He has a good rating even if he made mistakes in his life. He is a fashion icon too.
“Without an extraordinary football talent, he became a star. I knew him during training and he is a great guy. He is very respectful. This is a great pro. He could be an example for me.”
He adds: “Frankly, I do not think I have the charisma or the personality of a Cantona or “Ibra”. I think I fall between Ginola and Beckham.”
When asked if he would like to become a full-time model, he replied: “I do not know what the future holds me, but we must think about it. The average career of a footballer is seven years. I already have reached that, it happens very quickly. I would not be against working in fashion, but I do not know in what form. I make contact, I work my network in preparation.”
Well you certainly fall every time you get in the box Olivier, and maybe in the future you should stick to modeling!
Come on be fair, he scores a lot (in the hotels!)
Giroud…….you suck!!!!!!!
