Danny Welbeck Says Olivier Giroud was the Best Striker He Played With
Danny Welbeck, former Manchester United striker, has picked Olivier Giroud as the best striker he’s ever played with, leaving out Cristiano Ronaldo.
Welbeck, now playing for Brighton, previously played for both Manchester United and Arsenal. He recently scored the decisive goal in Brighton’s FA Cup victory over Newcastle.
Throughout his career, Welbeck has shared the pitch with some top-tier forwards like Ronaldo, Giroud, and Dimitar Berbatov. Speaking to Sky Sports, he reflected on those experiences.
“I didn’t get to play many games with Ronaldo, but training with him for a couple of years was incredible,” Welbeck said.
He also praised Berbatov’s quiet confidence, saying, “He knew how good he was.”
However, it was Giroud who stood out the most for him. “I loved playing alongside Olivier. We really clicked on the field. He was a top-class striker and a great partner to play with,” Welbeck added.
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
