Dimitri Payet says his success from free kicks has fans expecting him to score with every attempt after his latest stunner gave France a 3-2 win over Cameroon on Monday.
The 29-year-old sent in a long strike past goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa in the 90th minute to snatch victory in a pre-Euro 2016 friendly in Nantes.
Payet has earned a fine reputation for his success from set pieces for West Ham last season, including goals against Manchester United and Crystal Palace, and the former Nantes player acknowledged the supporters are growing accustomed to his heroics.
"When you score one, then two, then three, the crowd expect that you score every time," he said, according to L'Equipe. "That doesn't always happen, even though it worked again tonight.
"I don't know if my goal rescued us but it allowed us to win when their second goal had been a bit contentious.
"It was special for me to come back here to this stadium, where I spent two beautiful seasons. And I was happy to feel the fans get behind us."
France coach Didier Deschamps admitted Cameroon caused his side difficulties.
It was far from a routine evening for the Euro 2016 hosts, but Deschamps was pleased with the workout.
"There have been problems because the opponent has qualities," he said in his post-match press conference. "They have not thought to defend. There are things we can do better, of course.
"For some it is a long time without competition. We will look at what to fix.
"I was surprised by this team because I watched a lot of their recent games. I found them much better than in their last matches I've seen."
Cameroon's second goal, in the 88th minute, came when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting capitalised on a defensive error by Adil Rami, but Deschamps defended his man.
"We can always improve everything. This is the first game that Adil played with Laurent [Koscielny]," he added.
"We had more quality and that's why we have not done everything right.
"On the defensive side, not everything was perfect and it deserves more communication."
