Giroud was frustrating beyond belief, missing chance after chance, which was set up by his more illustrious teammates. Psychologically it was not easy to manage but we were rewarded" with the win, he said. On the other hand, Romania will take heart from their performance, knowing that they can win a match or two as long as they play with as much gusto. During the match against Romania, at times, his performance looked like a combination of Paul Scholes and a bit of Roy Keane (Manchester United’s former hard-tackling captain). Had Giroud been more clinical, France could’ve been 3 or 4 more goals up in the first half which wouldn’t have required Payet’s late heroics.
