Olivier Giroud scored a winning goal on Tuesday in a match against "Rennes" and opened the way for the "Chelsea" team to the next stage of the UEFA Champions League. The 34-year-old Frenchman is far from being a regular starter this season, but after the match on Tuesday, "Chelsea" manager Frank Lampard had nothing but praise for his pupil. "I have a little bit of a problem, as I have two excellent players in one position - Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud. Abraham is currently playing very well, and Olivier is a true professional, loved by his teammates. Of course, it's a nice problem. Olivier will definitely get his chances, as we have a very tough schedule ahead. You saw the team's reaction after Giroud's goal. It was not only because of the importance of the goal, but also because of how much Olivier means to the team. He takes good care of himself and with age becomes an even better player. I can be calm knowing that when the time comes, I can confidently send Giroud onto the field," Lampard said after the victory.
