France captain Hugo Lloris revealed his delight that Olivier Giroud equalled Thierry Henry's goalscoring record for France with an important double in their World Cup opener against Australia on Tuesday.
'Olivier deserves a lot of credit,' he added. 'He is an example in football to never give up. The last few months he was in and he was out of the team, but he never lost focus and it is important.
'It is a big achievement to equal Thierry Henry and I hope he will go ahead of him. For all the team, it is a good start and for the striker two goals is great.
