Arsenal played on Tuesday in the 20th round of the Premier League 3-3. A bad result for the always successful players.
"They care as much as he does, don't worry," said the experienced French boss. "Everybody has his way. The players are frustrated. There was no celebration in the dressing room, everybody was disappointed that they didn't win the game.
"There is no hierarchy of intensity of desire to win at that level. Everybody wants to win.
"I understand both sides. Because at 3-0 down in the head of the players the game is lost, but you still want the guys to take the ball and put it in the middle of the pitch.
"I can understand Giroud. He thought the game was lost, it was 92 minutes. You score. You don't lose.
"We can understand that but, ideally, you want not to waste time any more. I can understand his response. He scores goal after goal and he scores important goals. The 3-3, he gave two assists on the night. You can understand that he is happy."
