France see Giroud as 'technically deficent'

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

European football expert Andy Brassell reveals how France fans do not rate Oliver Giroud's technical ability. When asked why the striker was booed by his own supporters during a recent friendly, despite Giroud scoring, Brassell explained it was because they see the 29-year-old as "technically deficient". However, Brassell believes the Arsenal player could play a key role for hosts France at Euro 2016 because his "intelligent runs and hold-up play" will really help create opportunities for "[Antoine] Griezmann, [Dimitri] Payet, [Anthony] Martial and [Paul] Pogba". This clip was first broadcast on 5 live Sport, Tuesday 31 May 2016.
