Hugo Lloris has dismissed claims he is France’s weak link ahead of Saturday's World Cup quarter-final with England.
France skipper and Tottenham keeper Lloris was asked about the perception of him as a liability between the posts, but refused to be drawn on criticism of him from outside.
“I will do my talking on the pitch,” said Lloris. “We don’t need any motivation from outside to play the quarter-final of a World Cup - we will do our talking on the pitch.”
