The Arsenal striker was booed off the pitch of Stade de France by his own fans after he yet again failed to find the back of the net in the 3-1 win over Belarus
The former Montpellier man’s poor start to the campaign continued as he failed to find the back of the net as France defeated Belarus 3-1 in a World Cup 2014 qualification game at Stade de France.
Since joining English Premier League side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 from the French champions, the 25-year-old has failed to score a single goal for either club or country – a fact that many people find hard to believe considering his performance for La Paillade last season.
Arsene Wenger paid 12 million pounds to secure Giroud’s services and so far, the trust put in him by the French tactician is yet to be repaid. And, the France international enjoyed another dull outing, this time representing his country.
Eventually, manager Didier Deschamps removed the player from the pitch after almost 60 minutes. Upon his arrival to the bench, Giroud was jeered by Les Bleus fans.
While talking to reporters after the game, Giroud said that he was very enthusiastic about starting the game and revealed that he was a bit disappointed upon being substituted.
‘Being in French team starting XI is always a privilege. However, I was a little disappointed to be substituted.

performance somewhat dampened the joy of victory.
While talking about his substitution and crowd reaction, Giroud said that he tries not to listen to fans.
“When you are a forward you need time and try to not listen to the fans, above all at Stade de France, where the audience is always a little special.”
