​EURO2016: Germany keeper Neuer wary of France striker Giroud

Bayern Munich and Germany keeper Manuel Neuer is impressed with the France attacking line-up, and in particular Arsenal hitman Olivier Giroud.

"Olivier Giroud's a very dangerous player in the area and we've seen in the tournament how good he is in the air and how uncomfortable he can be for a defender," Neuer said.

"We know him from Arsenal and from the national team so we know a lot about him and can therefore prepare well to face him.

"I prefer not to focus on one player, though. Their whole front line is remarkable and they've got a great deal of quality.

"The French team are self-confident, especially up front, and things are going well for them, especially with the Iceland game which was their best so far.

"That doesn't mean we are scared of them, though. We've had a good tournament with our defence."
