Giroud speaks about Arsenal’s chances by AH
New signing Oliver Giroud, spoke about Arsenal’s chances of winning some silverware next season and he seemed rather confident.
Giroud said;
“There was a good mentality in the team, good quality, with some good players, and I look forward to finding that quality and spirit with Arsenal – that’s why I chose Arsenal.”
Giroud goes on to make the comparison between Arsenal and his previous club Montpellier, the club that he won the French division ‘Ligue 1’ with last season. The Frenchman said;
“With Montpellier, it wasn’t written that we were going to be champions, so that’s what made it more beautiful. With Arsenal, we might not be favourites, like the Manchester clubs, to be champions. We’re outsiders, but I’m convinced that we can do something big. That’s what we did with Montpellier, and I’m proud with what I accomplished there.”
So Giroud certainly seems optimistic and I hope his spirit can be passed onto the other players. If the players believe they can do something special, then they probably can, just like Montpellier last season or like Brian Clough’s Derby County back in the 1971-1972 season. Both those successful teams were down to belief, not quality.
It’s possible that with the new signings and a bit of team spirit, that this year could be our year. I know we have been saying that for the past 3 years, but you really must start to think that if we get it right we could take the league by storm and surprise a few people.
Giroud continued on his own personal career and he told Arsenal player;
“I scored two hat-tricks [last season] so, for the confidence of a striker, that’s important, you move up in the top scorer’s table, and that gives you a lot of confidence. For a striker it is important to score goals and I’ve done that my whole career. It allows you to progress and not to fall into periods of doubt, so I brought some confidence and serenity to the Montpellier team last season.”
Let’s hope he can continue his record for us, this season and help us build up to hopefully a title challenging season.
