Reluctant to Become a Reserve Again at Chelsea, Giroud Ready to Compete with Abraham

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud said he was ready to compete with Tammy Abraham to finish first in the Blues - the nickname of Chelsea. He thinks he still has a chance to become a group leader when Chelsea are now under the supervision of Frank Lampard.

Like last season, Giroud now has to compete again to be able to fight for the main position. After Higuain returned to Juventus, Giroud was lucky to get his first place. However, that did not happen because Lampard seemed to have a new hero.

The new coach trusts Chelsea Academy graduates, only 21, Tammy Abraham. His performance was very good after scoring four goals and four matches. That is clearly a threat to Giroud and is ready to fight for his place at Chelsea.

"Of course not! (As a reserve player) I have a goal in my head, I'm here to help a new generation, but be careful, retirement time hasn't arrived," he said. Giroud, quoting Goal in Sunday, 09/08/2019.

I am still hungry and I have a lot of ambition. I don't want to be number two striker at Chelsea. Of course, "It's not because I am the younger brother of a young player so I sit on the bench," he added.

"The contest is open and healthy with young Tammy Abraham, the boy has tried his luck, he has scored and if he works well, I must try to suppress it." "I have no reason to worry about the rest of the season," he concluded.
