Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud: Critics only make me stronger

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud says he's determined to stare down his critics.

Giroud struck twice on Saturday in France's win over Luxembourg.

Asked about his knockers, the striker said: "You have to deal with critics and people who are a bit skeptical.

"The best solution is to respond on the ground and show a strength of character, with much humility and that's what I'm trying to do. I think we all do.

"Rather, I am used to going all the way through my career to achieve things, to always fight. Nothing has ever been easy but it's also in there that I built myself."
