4) Giroud’s goal doesn’t cover up for multiple misses during the game
Trending
Olivier Giroud may have scored for the hosts, but that was largely due to some bizarre decision making by the goalkeeper and definitely doesn’t make up for the number of chances he failed to pounce upon throughout the game.
Romania’s defensive pair of Vlad Chriches and Dragos Grigore was almost always able to mark his runs and make the clean final challenge to ensure the Arsenal striker was left frustrated in front of goal.
With a world-class striker like Karim Benzema out of the squad and second striker Antoine Griezmann likely to operate from the wings this tournament, Giroud will have to up his game by a gear or two and try to create openings in the opposition defence to earn himself potential goal-scoring opportunities.
