Speaking about breaking Thierry Henry’s French record, Olivier Giroud

Breaking Thierry Henry’s French goalscoring record, according to Olivier Giroud, demonstrates to younger players that “anything is possible.”

With his 52nd goal for France, the 36-year-old surpassed all other men’s goal scorers in history during Sunday’s victory over Poland in Qatar’s round of 16.

When I was 20 years old, I wasn’t playing at a very high level, Giroud admitted.

“What I have accomplished now proves that even though it takes time, you can climb mountains if you have the desire to succeed and work hard.”
