In an ideal world, nobody is supposed to be compared with
any body in their performance evaluation, but who really lives in an ideal
world? Olivier Giroud , on 28th spet 2017, reached a milestone, he
scored 100 goals for Arsenal in 233 appearances 1 less than what Robin Van
Persie did . Arsene did mention that Giroud was bought to replace the departing
Judas, and he was under heavy fire, but le buteur de charme (the
charm striker) reached a ton of goals with a spot kick against BATE Borsiov.
Since joining Arsenal on 26th June 2012, Olivier has come off the bench and scored 27 times in
his tenure, till now. He has scored some very crucial goals , equalizers,
winners, invigorating , awe-inspiring, jaw
opening and sometimes just marvelous. His posture, his technique, his
accuracy, and his presence of mind about the players around him and the weight
of the pass has always been great to watch.
Apart from his goals against United, Tottenham, Crystal
Palace (Puskas award 2017 nomination) – that scorpion kick, Bayern Munich (in a
5-1 loss at the Allianz Arena), hat trick against Olympiacos in the Champions
League, Giroud has assisted some truly world class goals. For example that
Wilshere goal against Norwich in the October of 2013, and the famous Ramsey
goal at the Wembley to clinch the first FA cup after a 9 years trophy draught,
against Hull city .
Even though he was close to leaving Arsenal in the summer of
2017, he wanted more game time, but his resolve not only made the gooners joyous
but a bit empowered too, because Giroud has been in a decent scoring form. He
had to wait for a couple of games to make it 100 after 99, a soft penalty
against BATE helped him reached the century. He has been constantly improving
and helped France qualify for the world cup with ease, hope to see some roof
bursting and top corners consumed when this guy touches the ball. The poem
ended and then he hit.
