Arsenal’s striker, Olivier Giroud has gone on to praise his club and international team mate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742 as he claims that he is one of the best defenders in the Premier League.
The towering striker went on to join the Gunners from Montpellier in the summer transfer window, and so far he has been quite impressed with what he has seen.
The two players previously used to play together for Tours in the French Ligue 2, and the striker is amazed with how far the defender has come as a player.
Giroud feels Koscielny has gone on to prove that you can be as good as you believe you can, and also thinks that with Koscielny getting better, he is only going to become even more important for Arsenal and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
The 25-year-old striker when talking about the centre back is reported to have said: "I'd say he's one of the best in the Premier League. I think he can continue to [get even better].”
"He's very respectable and serious in his work. You can trust him, and his behaviour on the pitch is important. I like when a guy concentrates and is serious.”
"He is like a leader on the pitch, by his behaviour. He is important for the national team now, and he is a very important player for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429. He is a very good player and a very good guy."
So far this season, Koscielny hasn’t been able to play as much as he would have wanted to. He has suffered from an injury and has only just made his return to the team.
On the other hand, Giroud has been playing, but is yet to find the goal scoring form that everyone expected from him.
As a result, once the Premier League season kicks off again, it will be interesting to see just how the two players perform, once they are on the pitch together.
Nonetheless, it is going to ultimately be up to the manager to be able to help the two feed off, of each other’s chemistry, in order for them to prove to be crucial to the team’s success this season.
