AC Milan striker has scored just one goal in his previous 12 matches at the global tournament
“Yes, I scored one in 2014 and a few at the 2016 Euros. It’s important for the team to score. I’ll give it my 200 per cent for the team,” Giroud told a news conference on Thursday.
“Obviously I have this target in my head to beat Thierry but the main goal is that of the team to go as far as possible and if I get the chance to go closer to him I'll take it.” Giroud was recalled to the national team in March after a nine-month hiatus following France's early Euro 2020 exit, and has been in good form for Milan in recent months.
