Griezmann ´must do more´, says Deschamps

Didier Deschamps called upon Antoine Griezmann to “do more” after his performance against Australia but rejected suggestions that the France forward’s place in his starting line-up is under threat.

Griezmann scored France’s opening goal from the penalty spot after VAR was used to award the kick, and a late own-goal by Aziz Behich ensured Les Bleus claimed all three points after Mile Jedinak’s equaliser for Australia.

Atletico Madrid forward Griezmann was replaced after 70 minutes, making way for Olivier Giroud, but Deschamps dismissed the suggestion that his place was under threat.

“Antoine is Antoine: he is our attacking leader and he will remain our leader of attack,” Deschamps told Telefoot.
