Olivier Giroud spoke to the media ahead of the game between AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund this evening. Among other things, he explained how his physique is so good at the age of 37.
The Frenchman turned 37 on Saturday and he has been an important player for Milan this season, having bagged four goals and three assists. He plays from start tonight and will be hoping to grab the birthday goal he didn’t get last time out.
Speaking to Prime, as cited by MilanNews, Giroud shared his thoughts on his physique, thanking his mom and dad. He also highlighted the importance of faith as he reads the bible every day.
On his faith…
“It helps me every day, it gives me strength. I read the Bible every day. When you don’t score you are disappointed, but for me the most important thing is to be ready, and resilient. Faith helps me to always believe in it.”
How do you get this body at 37?
“I want to thank dad and mom for my physique. It’s important to eat well and lots of it, drink water. My physique allows me to continue to dream today, to be competitive. My body is my friend and I’m careful about it.”
As said, Giroud is in the starting eleven for this one and teams up with Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao up front. It remains to be seen if the three can help JMilan find the back of the net after the struggles in the UCL opener.
