«I have no desire to return, I had a great honor. It would take a real crisis to bring me back. There are currently five forwards, and the coach does not call me. He understands that I am moving on.

If help is needed during a match, I do not refuse, even if I have announced my retirement. If I can help, I will do it,» Giroud told RMC Sport.
