Chelsea striker Giroud unconcerned with France drought

Chelsea star Olivier Giroud isn't concerned by his France goal drought.

The 31-year-old failed to score in 7 appearances at the World Cup.

Giroud said: "My zero goals does not stop me from sleeping. In the street people tell me: 'even if you have not scored, you have been important'.

"There is a little frustration, but it has largely been filled by winning the trophy. The collective takes precedence over individuals."
