The forward who is as strong as Zidane can t lead, but he can serve as the main player in France and can win the Ligue 1 Golden Boots twice

At the request of my friends, let’s talk about Givalsh, a striker who is as strong as Zidane, cannot be led by him.

On September 6, 1970, Stephen Givalsh was born in Concano, France. This player is not very talented. At least, compared with Vieri, Ronaldo, Batistuta and others, Givalsh's talent is not enough. He neither had the speed of thunder, nor the body as strong as a cow, nor the innate sense of smell in front of the door...

This directly led to the fact that when he was young, Jivalsh was not favored at all, and no big club was willing to give him a chance. This can be seen from the fact that he had not even made it to the stage of the Ligue 1 before he was 25 years old.

However, not only did not give up on himself, but instead worked harder, and the progress was quite obvious. During the 1994-95 season, he scored 23 goals in the Ligue 2 League, which finally attracted the attention of Ligue 1 clubs. After the season, he was recruited by Auxerre.

Givalsh stepped onto the Ligue 1 stage with confidence, but he soon discovered that the defensive intensity of the Ligue 1 league far exceeded that of the French Ligue 1. He was used to playing in the second division before and was not very adapted to the defensive intensity of Ligue 1 for a while. Throughout the 1995-96 season, he only scored 3 goals.

Ausserre was disappointed and dealt with Givalsh to Renne. No one expected that at that time, Givalsh would be resurrected in Rennes. In the following 1996-97 season, Jivalsh paid a data sheet of 22 goals in 36 league games and won the Ligue 1 Golden Boot in one fell swoop.

No matter any era, the Ligue 1 Golden Boots have a market. Ausser, who had given up on Givalsh, quickly summoned the local striker back and entrusted the important task of the main striker. Jivalsh's performance was also very reliable. He scored 21 league goals in the 1997-98 season and won the Ligue 1 Golden Boot again.

Players who win the Ligue 1 Golden Boots two are definitely qualified to be selected for the French national team. In the 1998 World Cup in France, Givalsh was not only successfully selected for the Gaul Roosters, but also wore the symbolic No. 9 jersey, showing her as the main striker of France.

When you see this, you may ask a friend: Didn’t the French team at that time have offensive players like Henry and Trezeguet? Why was Jivalsh the main striker?

The reason is very simple: at this time Henry and Trezeguet were both rookie strikers who had just emerged and had not yet reached their peak. In contrast, Jivalsh won the Ligue 1 Golden Boot at the age of 28, which was at the peak of his personal career. In this context, no matter who serves as the head coach of the French team, Givalsh will be reused.

Regularly speaking, Givals's trip to France World Cup should be very pleasant. On the one hand, behind him is the historic midfielder Zidane. There is no shortage of shooting opportunities at all. On the other hand, the French team has defensive players such as Deschamps, Deselli, Lizarazu, and Toulam. The defense is so stable that Givalsh does not need to undertake too many defensive tasks.

Think about it, a forward is fighting at home, and he doesn't have to undertake heavy defensive tasks. Zidane is still standing behind him. Is there a more comfortable playing football environment than this?

However, in this environment, Jivalsh's performance shattered his glasses. As the main striker of the French team, his performance was so bad. Even if Zidane is as strong as he can't help him. Jivalsh didn't know how many shots he had won, but he just couldn't grasp them.

The most representative game is the World Cup final between France and Brazil. The French team scored early and could use defensive counterattack tactics patiently and calmly. On the other hand, the Brazilian team can only push forward, and I don’t know how many problems the defense line has exposed. Zidane in this game was really helpful, not only scoring goals, but also creating opportunities for his teammates. However, as the main striker of France, Jivalsh couldn't grasp it anyway. Otherwise, the suspense of the victory or defeat of the game would have been ended long ago.

It is precisely because Givalsh's performance is too outrageous that even though the French team successfully won the Hercules Cup, many media and fans still sarcastically mocked the French main striker, which made the player himself quite frustrated. After the World Cup trip where the team was proud and personal frustrated, Givalsh simply left France and landed in the Premier League, intending to prove his strength here. As for the next home he chose, it is Newcastle, a veteran Premier League club.

It has to be said that Givalsh obviously overestimated his strength. You know, at this time, Newcastle's forward line had Alan Shearer. Givalsh's personal ability or status in the world cannot be compared with Hiller. This means that after Givalsh joined Newcastle, he could only serve as a substitute for Hiller...

After all, he is the winner of the two-time Ligue 1 Golden Boots, so he naturally does not want to sit on the bench to waste his time. Half a season later, Givalsh left Newcastle and went to play for the Glasgow Rangers. However, he still didn't understand the Scottish League. He returned to the Ligue 1 shortly after, and once again put on the Ausselle's jersey.

Although Jivalsh did not leave Aussel for a long time, he was no longer the mighty Ligue 1 Golden Boot that was back then. In the following days, Jivalsh's performance can only be considered average, and he will no longer be as brave as he used to be...
