Speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, the Liverpool star was asked about the most difficult striker he’s faced in his entire career. “Funny enough, Giroud. I feel like I got him but in some way he always managed to score,” Van Dijk said.
“Whether it was with Arsenal, Chelsea or France. I said it to him when we won the league and we won 5-2, we were 3-0 up and he scored a scrappy goal. And I said you scored again!
“I would say that he is the guy that scores against me and just the annoying person. I’m going for Giroud because he’s a bogeyman – annoying!”
Giroud left Arsenal to join their London rivals Chelsea back in January 2018 for a fee worth £18 million. The Frenchman racked up a total of 253 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 105 goals and providing 41 assists.
Giroud has gone on to enjoy a brilliant career, lifting the World Cup with France and Champions League at Chelsea. He won the Series A last season with AC Milan.
