The Moroccan could not handle what he gives out and revealed a moment he had to question Giroud and told him to stop chasing him about.

Amrabat reveals Giroud's conversation

Olivier Giroud was given an unusual task by France boss Didier Deschamps in the game as he was told to eliminate the Moroccan midfield destroyer and he did just that.

“Their striker, Olivier Giroud, followed me everywhere all over the field. I said to him, just STOP! He replied that he was instructed to follow me for the whole game.” he said.

Giroud and Amrabat are no stranger to each other as they both play in in the Italian Serie A for Italian champions AC Milan and Fiorentina respectively.
