Giroud Responds After Cummings’ Claim He Didn’t Swap Shirts

Olivier Giroud responded to Jason Cummings with a smile after the Australia striker accused him of avoiding a post-match shirt swap following France’s World Cup win over the Socceroos.

The 27-year-old Australian forward highlighted in an interview that the French veteran seemingly ignored him and pretended he couldn’t speak English following France’s win over Australia in the Round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar, when Cummings asked to swap shirts with the Milan striker.

Giroud posted a photo of Jackson Irvine’s match shirt on his Twitter page, laughing and saying: “Hi Jackson Irvine, how is my English mate?”

Cummings had claimed in an interview that “After the France game, I actually tried to get Mbappe, forget Giroud, I went for the top boy Mbappe, and he told me to meet him in the changing rooms.

“So I went to the changing room and the kit man was there and I gave him my top and 10 minutes later he came out with my jersey and said: ‘Nah, absolutely not, he doesn’t want to swap’.

“So when I was walking back to my changing room and I’ve seen Giroud and I’m walking, as handsome as ever, and I asked him, ‘Giroud, please man, can I get your shirt, man? I’m a big fan, can I get your shirt?’

“And he just walked past me, pretended he never spoke English! And he’s been in the Premier League for 10 years! He just walked right past me!”
