Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is hoping to emulate great French attackers such as Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet at Euro2016.
Both Henry and Trezeguet were key parts of Les Bleus' successes at the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000.
The 29-year-old is dreaming of joining the long line of legends by helping his national team win the upcoming tournament on home soil.
"I was only 11 [in 1998] and it was one of my best memories as a fan of the French national team," he told Arsenal Player.
"It was fantastic for all the French people to win the World Cup, especially at home. That's why we want to make our French fans proud this summer.
"It was the continuity of the World Cup [when they went to Euro 2000]. They confirmed their great form and almost kept the exact same squad. It is always difficult to win again two years afterwards, but they did very well with a fantastic scenario against Italy at the end of the final.
"I remember the pass from Robert Pires to Sylvain Wiltord, and then the pass to David Trezeguet who found the top-left corner. I couldn't forget this goal.
"I also remember watching David Ginola, Eric Cantona, Jean-Pierre Papin and strikers like that. I was looking to become a striker. I remember very good players like them, and also Thierry Henry, Trezeguet and Anelka too. We've always had very good strikers.
"It's a great feeling [to be representing France in front of our home fans] and we're all looking forward to that. We want to do well in front of our own fans so we're going to do everything we can to bring the trophy back home."
