Kampusbet -  Arsenal's Olivier Giroud admits being hurt by Thierry Henry's ''brutal'' criticism 

Judi Online -  Olivier Giroud has admitted to being "annoyed" at Thierry Henry's "brutal" criticism of him earlier this season.

Henry claimed Arsenal, who finished third in the league, need "a top, top-quality striker in order to win the league again".

Giroud, who scored 19 goals despite a broken leg that cost him three months in the first half of the season, said: "It is part of the game. I will never win unanimous support.

Speaking ahead of France's game against Belgium on Sunday, now double-FA Cup winner Giroud added: "Apparently Titi (Henry) corrected himself recently.

"He said that he was thinking about competition, that he wanted Arsenal to have many strikers who can score goals.

Bandar Bola -  "He was a little brutal at the time, so it caused a fuss, but that is what he's asked to do as a pundit and I didn't lose any sleep over it.

"Of course, it hurts your pride - it brings into question the work you do every day.

 It irritates you, and I was a little annoyed, but I quickly put it behind me.

 I talked to the coach (Wenger) and the most important thing is to have the support of the people around you, who have faith in you, the staff, my team-mates.

"We can only answer on the pitch and that is also why the FA Cup was important."
