France see Giroud as 'technically deficent'

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".
