Olivier
Giroud was booed by French fans after a disappointing display against
Serbia on Monday night - which eventually saw him replaced by Karim
Benzema.
The
Arsenal striker was handed a lone role up front by Didier Deschamps but
missed a number of good chances during the 2-1 win in Bourdeaux.
And
the home supporters were less than happy with his display, jeering and
whistling as he went off for half-time and when he was substituted.
Giroud has
struggled to find his best form this season in the Premier League, for
an Arsenal side that will be relying on him in Danny Welbeck's absence.
He has scored once this season, against Crystal Palace, and was hooked after an hour against Serbia by Deschamps.
Pressure is
mounting on him ahead of Euro 2016 in his home country next summer.
Manchester United new boy Anthony Martial is one of his rivals, along
with summer Arsenal target Benzema.
A
brace from PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi gave France the win in the
friendly, while Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic netted for the
visitors.
