French Lille striker Olive Giroud picked up the bag for the lost match against Aston Valley (0:2) as part of the match-match of the 1/8 finals of the European League.

" The defense did not allow them to pass through our lines, and they did not create many chances. In the first half we weren’t able to play the attack clearly enough, but in the other half we played better, and at the hour of our greatest period we conceded the first goal that we had to miss.

Dibu Martinez's goal pass was stunning. I’m trying to overcome this, otherwise I’ll miss such a goal on such a level - it’s unacceptable.

I'll be happy to come to England again, I don't really like the atmosphere and the stadium. Our patients came to the great city. We wanted to earn money for them, but, unfortunately, we could not achieve the best result. I write as a team and write “Villa,” Giroud said.

In the current season, 39-year-old Olive Giroud has played 37 matches for Lille, scoring nine goals and providing one assist..
