Didier Deschamps to talk to Antoine Griezmann about penalty misses

France boss Didier Deschamps says he is planning to talk to Antoine Griezmann about penalties following his two misses for France over the international break.

The Barcelona striker had never missed from the spot for the national team until this week but failed with efforts against Albania and Andorra.

Deschamps wants to have a chat with the 28-year-old ahead of France’s crucial qualifiers against Iceland and Turkey in October.

“Antoine, he doesn’t gamble. When he had to score them, he scored them,” he told a press conference after the match.
