The Benzema problem is also affecting the Gunners striker Olivier
Giroud, as some in France believe that he should be second choice to Karim and are
jeering Olly during games.
He admits that he is growing used to the
jeers, but with France aiming to win the Euro2016 tournament on their home turf,
Giroud was sort of hoping that the fans would actually be supporting him at this crucial time.
This theory seemed to be proven tonight as
Giroud was given a starting role for France in a friendly against Serbia, but after missing two clear cut chances to put the ball in the back of the net, he was getting
jeered and booed by his own French supporters.
Its soul destroying been
jeered by your own fans, more so your own.country people but it has more to do with the final selection than
Giroud himself, French folks were more upset with Deschamp than
Giroud for leaving Benzema and Arfa.Atem out of the squqand
Giroud just happen to be the lightening rod for their anger, just like he is with us when we blame him for the collective failures of the while team and Wenger....
Giroud responded to the
jeers by admitting that he was misfiring and vowed to bounce back, as he has done many times in his Arsenal career.
