France striker, Olivier Giroud has insisted that they will do everything to prevent Lionel Messi from making any impact ahead of Sunday’s 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Giroud, who has played a key role in helping Les Blues to the final, will be determine to lift the trophy for the second time after 2018 triumph in Russia.
However, in a chat with TribalFootball, the AC Milan star stated that they are in no mood to relinquish the crown of being world champions.
“Messi is an incredible player, but we are not going to let him enjoy the best night he can have. We want to win this game. We want to win another World Cup.
“We will try everything to stop him. But there is not only Messi in that team. They have got great players who work for the team also. I think that is why they are so strong.”
Giroud added: “I remember back in the days of 2018, N’Golo [Kante] was all the game on his back, behind him. But this time I don’t know what the plan will be. We will see with the manager.”

It is only a Goat that gives sleepless night to oppositions. Who else has been much talked about before matches??? Argentina will carry the day and everyone will finally allow this highly talented gentleman to have a peaceful life.
Well said Brodaman @Chima. Messi is the best, just forget the rest. Only Okocha comes close to Messi.
Ahba…Okocha? How na? Just praise your Messi and leave our JJ abeg.
JJ Okocha is far better than Messi in dribbling. Messi only scored more goals.
LMAO Okocha would have made more money doing showboating than player soccer. Kanu made more sense for me soccerwise.
