Los Angeles FC defender Maxim Shano recently accepted an interview with RMC Sports and talked about Giroud, who is about to leave the team and join Lille.

Shano said: "It's a pity to lose Giroud, but both sides need to open a new chapter. He will complete the farewell battle on Sunday. Of course, we feel reluctant because he is both an outstanding player and an excellent partner, but we are happy for Giroud in the Ligue 1."

In 37 games played for Los Angeles FC, Giroud only scored 5 goals, which caused some doubts, but Sano said: "There is an objective fact that he joined in the middle of the season, and the lack of pre-season preparations led to the first year's adaptation period. It's more difficult. "

"What bothers me is that the outside world uses the number of goals to judge Giroud. Although he did not score in the 2018 World Cup, he contributed his top performance. He also performed well with us. "

"Our tactical system is not entirely built around him. If we expect Giroud, who is 38 or 39, to be able to frequently advance in depth, it is obviously unrealistic. Because of this, he needs to adjust his communication methods. Everyone must understand that he joined at a specific stage of his career."
