Being booed by your own fans is painful," he said. "They should be a bit more patient."

France lie second in Group 7, five points behind Serbia, and need maximum points against Romania and away to the group leaders four days later to reduce the risk of having to win a play-off against another runner-up to reach next year's finals.

Coach Raymond Domenech, who is even less popular than his players and knows his job is on the line, said he could not understand the fans' attitude.

"I can understand them booing after a bad game but doing it during the match is something I find difficult to understand," Domenech told Metro.

The best way for France, who have plenty of talent in their squad, to win back their fans would be to treat them with a great performance against Romania.

However, they will have to try to do that without midfielder and captain Patrick Vieira, who has been struggling with form for over a year and is not in the squad.
