It would be fair to say that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is rooting for Olivier Giroud to do well at the World Cup, having jokingly selected him to scoop almost every individual award.
Speaking with 433 at the Globe Soccer Awards, Zlatan was asked for his predictions ahead of the World Cup, backing his team-mate Giroud to be the top scorer, player of the tournament, the biggest surprise and also the biggest talent.
Things started well for the Frenchman given he netted a brace in France’s 4-1 win over Australia, moving level with Thierry Henry as the all-time top scorer for Les Bleus.
