Olivier Giroud SMASHES five-shot challenge during France training – as fans make comparisons with Kai Havertz’s MLS All-Star Skills struggles

• Fans then made comparisons with Kai Havertz’s struggles during pre-season 
• It’s the world against Everton – it can galvanise the players to stay up – IAKO 

Olivier Giroud proved why he’s France’s all-time top goalscorer after smashing a five-shot challenge during a recent national team training session. 

The AC Milan striker has been a consistent figure in Les Bleus’ squad since making his debut back in 2011 and has 56 goals to show for his efforts. 

Even at 37-years-old, the former Chelsea and Arsenal striker has shown that he still has a keen eye in-front of goal and reminded fans of that via a recent viral clip. 

Giroud was seen excelling during France’s national team training for their final Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Gibraltar and Greece.

During the shooting drill, players from either side of the penalty area crossed in balls for the Milan forward, who finished with aplomb on five separate occasions.

Giroud fired off shots with both the left and right foot with ease before strolling back to let his team-mates have an attempt. 

His training clearly paid off as he scored two late goals in France’s 14-0 demolition against Gibraltar, despite coming on as a late substitute. 

Fans on social media were left in awe of the efforts and some were quick to make comparisons with other players’ similar attempts – such as Arsenal’s Kai Havertz. 

During Arsenal’s pre-season tour this season, the German international was seen struggling during an MLS All-Star Skills Challenge.

Havertz became the first person in the short history of the event to never score a single point in the cross-then-volley challenge.

As a result of both his poor form – and the struggles Folarin Balogun had – Arsenal lost in that particular event.

While some Arsenal fans were left upset over the poor form of their new talisman, other football fans laughed at their misfortune.

That included Chelsea fans, who were joyful after their club sold him for £65million this summer.

‘Kai Havertz setting the world ablaze with his finishing’, wrote one Chelsea fan followed by several laughing emojis. 

Another couldn’t believe the money the got for the German, adding: ‘We got £65m for Havertz’, again, followed by several laughing emojis.
