Giggs' golden ambitions

 

As Ryan Giggs prepares to lead Team GB at the Olympics, he claims a gold medal would be comparable to his UEFA Champions League wins.

The MAN U  midfielder has a vast collection of honours including 12 Premier League titles and two Champions League medals.

"An Olympic gold would be up there with my European medals."says giggs

But the 38-year-old has never played in a major international finals with Wales and is relishing the thought of leading out Team GB against Senegal at his beloved  Old Trafford on Thursday.
"As a footballer, you don't start out in your career hoping to win the Olympics. You want to win leagues, FA Cups and European Cups," said  Giggs
"I'm still disappointed I never got to a major finals with Wales, but we weren't good enough to get to a European Championships or  World Cup
"But to get the chance to play in a tournament at such a late stage of my career is one I'm excited about and really looking forward to.
"Of course, you want to win every game and win the tournament. We know it's going to be tough, but having seen the quality of our team over the last few weeks, we are hopeful of going a long way.
