| Olivier Giroud was booed by France fans in last night's win over Serbia |
OLIVIER GIROUD admits he's got to prove the doubters wrong.
The Arsenal striker has come under fire after a slow start to the season - scoring just once for the Gunners - and was booed by France fans in their 2-1 win over Serbia.
And the 28-year-old, who is Arsenal's only out-and-out centre forward with Danny Welbeck out injured, knows he's under pressure to perform.
“As a striker, what you get used to on a daily basis, it is to be applauded when you score goals," Giroud said.
"When the opposite happens, it’s difficult. Everybody gets criticised at one point.

“That’s not the first and surely not the last time it happens. I have the mental strength to bounce back. Now I am going to focus on working. I am everything but worried about that. I will bounce back.
“(Against Serbia) I wasn’t very efficient. I cannot focus too much on it. I have to think about the victory of the team and the good form we are currently experiencing.
“I am going first, to enjoy our victory and then obviously I will have to correct a few things.”
