Deschamps not worried by Griezmann’s latest penalty miss

France boss Didier Deschamps didn’t seem too worried by Antoine Griezmann’s latest penalty miss for Les Bleus on Saturday.

The Barcelona striker missed a stoppage-time spot-kick in the 1-0 win over Sweden and has now missed his last three penalties for France.

Deschamps spoke about Griezmann after the match and said he would be happy for the 29-year-old to continue taking penalties.

“All offensive players, to make a difference, need a boost. He felt better and better as the match went on, he is one of the squad who hasn’t been playing for 15 days now.
