Giroud: I Never Expected Dembélé to Do It
Olivier Giroud, the all-time top scorer for the French national team, spoke about his compatriot Ousmane Dembélé winning the Ballon d'Or, expressing his astonishment at this achievement.
Giroud said in statements to the French newspaper "L'Équipe": "I never expected Dembélé to win the Ballon d'Or, especially when I saw him in training with the national team; I couldn't imagine that."
The Lille striker added: "You must first have the talent to win the Ballon d'Or, and then you need to have a good season with your team."
Giroud continued his remarks about the Paris Saint-Germain star, saying: "Dembélé undoubtedly has the talent, but he needed to have a good season with the right team."
