Antoine Griezmann has questioned France’s tactics after Les Bleus were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Ukraine in 2022 World Cup qualifying on Wednesday March 24.
The reigning world champions changed their shape in the first group game, which failed to deliver as they were held draw at home by Ukraine.
France head coach Didier Deschamps opted for a 4-4-2 shape rather than his usual 4-2-3-1 formation, and France couldn’t adjust to the new tactics.
Griezmann opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a curled effort but France were unable to double their tally.
Les Bleus loss their lead in the second half, when Presnel Kimpembe’s own goal gave Ukraine a point in the qualifying opener.
Following Wednesday’s match, France will face Kazakhstan on Sunday and then Bosnia and Herzegovina next Wednesday in their remaining group stage matches.
