Posted on November 8, 2021 at 10:45 p.m. by HG Now outside the group of the French team, Olivier Giroud believes that Karim Benzema needed a period of adaptation similar to that of Leo Messi at PSG to perform. Arrived this summer at PSG , Leo Messi is not yet making his magic speak in the French capital. Indeed, even if he has scored three goals in three matches of the Champions League played, the Argentine international has not yet opened his counter in Ligue 1 and is still struggling to find its feet in the game of the team coached by Mauricio Pochettino . But there you have it, there is not necessarily reason to worry when listening to the speech of Olivier Giroud . Indeed, the goalscorer of AC Milan considers that the adaptation time that Leo Messi needs at PSG is the same as that which was necessary for Karim Benzema in French team . “There is no chemistry found in five minutes” “I repeat once again: I have absolutely nothing against him, we had a good relationship during the Euro. It is obvious that even Messi today, when he arrives in Paris, there is no chemistry found in five minutes. When you bring any player back to a team, there is some adjustment time needed. But I think the team has improved since (the Euro), they've also adapted to their new system, with a five-a-side defense. We saw with the victory in the League of Nations, where Karim scored important goals, that time was right. But yes, at the beginning, we had to find the right formula ”, explained Olivier Giroud on the set of C à Vous this Monday evening, broadcast of France 5. Skip back to main navigation
