Hugo Lloris has hit back at his critics in a press conference after claims that he is the Achilles heel in France's star-studded squad ahead of Saturday's quarterfinal clash with England.

The World Cup-winning goalkeeper has come in for increasingly poor reviews as a result of his footwork in Qatar, with British outlet The Telegraph claiming that he does not even come close to English keeper Jordan Pickford.

But in a pre-match press conference the French skipper dismissed the comparisons, insisting he was focused on the upcoming grudge match, instead warning that he would do his talking on the pitch.
