Didier Deschamps was quick to leap to the defence of Olivier Giroud following a difficult night for the France striker.
Olivier Giroud was unfortunate not to score against Serbia, France coach Didier Deschamps said despite the striker being booed off against Serbia.
Euro 2016 host France claimed a 2-1 win in Bordeaux on Monday thanks to a double from Blaise Matuidi. Aleksandar Mitrovic pulled one back for Serbia five minutes before halftime.
But it was a difficult night for Arsenal forward Giroud, who saw three chances to get his name on the scoresheet go begging before he was withdrawn to jeers from the fans at the Stade Atlantique in the 62nd minute.
