Olivier Giroud: We need to be focused on our defensive game

By

Striker Olivier Giroud reckons Arsenal have to be more aggressive as a defensive unit.

The Gunners stole the headlines after an impressive win over Manchester City in January but the same type of defensive game plan didn't work out as planned against Tottenham Hotspur weeks later.

And the Frenchman, who was full of praise for the offensive players in the team, says it is vital for all players to be focused on their defensive responsibilities at all times.

"I've scored seven goals in my last 10 appearances, so it's a good stat for me," Giroud told Arsenal Player.

"I feel good and my confidence is high. I want to help the team to win more games and to achieve our targets.

"We have plenty of solutions up front. We are all different, so it's nice.

"We can find each other really well on the pitch and what's most important is to keep this movement and this variation in the game.

"It's a pleasure to play with the boys and I think we are really strong offensively. [We need to] do a great job together defensively as a unit, like we showed at Manchester City, it's a good idea to do it again and again, especially against big teams.

"We need to be focused on our defensive game, because we know that up front we are always going to create chances to score."
