I am here to win trophies, you know, to help the team to reach our targets. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to bring my small thing to the big machine. You know, for Chelsea.
— Olivier Giroud
It is really nice to play in the Champions League, because we play against the best teams and the best competition in Europe.
When I was young, I looked up to Andriy Shevchenko. He was so elegant, and on the pitch as well.
It takes time to adapt to become an Arsenal player.
It's a massive club, and I am proud to sign for Chelsea, and I'm looking forward to playing.
When you are a striker like me, you always play for the teammates.
You need to have a great way of life - you have to eat well, to sleep well.
After an injury, I think you have to be strong mentally.
David Beckham is a top man. I love the guy and what he can show in terms of style as well. He's really classy, an icon.
You have to communicate - you have to click - to find automatic reactions with your teammates.
I have a very good contract at Chelsea, but Dortmund really wanted me.
Football, if I can say, is an everlasting new beginning. You always question yourself, but you have to be ready not just mentally but physically as well. You have to be fit and take care of your body.
I have never been in a cage fighting UFC. It would be nice to try.
We don't have the money of the Manchester clubs or Chelsea. Arsenal builds its team through training, through recruiting players who can become something. Arsenal has less money than some other clubs, so we have to fight with other values.
I have certain values. I know where I come from. I am a hard worker. I'm conscious of my luck.
It was frustrating at Arsenal, obviously. For a year and a half, it went from bad to worse. I could no longer continue like that. I could not bring myself to spend another year at Arsenal and remain a reserve, even a second reserve.
