Griezmann questions France tactics after frustrating Ukraine draw to open 2022 World Cup qualifying

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.

France head coach Didier Deschamps opted for a 4-4-2 shape rather than his usual 4-2-3-1 formation, and France struggled to adjust to the change.

Griezmann opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a curled effort but France were unable to find a killer second goal. Les Bleus were punished in the second half, as Presnel Kimpembe's own goal gave Ukraine a point in both teams' qualifying opener.
