Lloris: 'France results not good enough'

France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has admitted that his side's recent results have not been good enough, but insists that they are eager to hit top form.

Les Bleus endured a disappointing 0-0 draw with Georgia on Friday in a World Cup qualifier and lost further ground on Group I leaders Spain.

France face Belarus on Tuesday night and Lloris is demanding an improved performance from his teammates

"I am aware the results are not good", Lloris told L'Equipe. "But we must not deviate from our goal.

"We must all work together to qualify. It is not always easy but we are hanging on. It will be hard but we must believe in ourselves to ignore what is being said and things will work as we hope.

"After Georgia, we looked at what was wrong collectively. There were not that many negatives about that game. We also did some good things. We created a lot of chances."

France will take on Finland in their final Group match on October 15.
