Penalty Failed Again, Antoine Griezmann Said Promise to Giroud

Antoine Griezmann got a bit of bitterness when he won 3-0 from the French national team in Andorra, Wednesday 11/09/2019, in the early morning. In the remaining qualifying matches for the 2020 European Cup, he once again failed to score.

The French national team won a penalty in the 27th minute after Antoine Griezmann was brought down by Moises San Nicolas in a restricted area. However, his shot to the left of the goal of Andorra is able to make a jump goalkeeper Josep Gomes.

It was the second successive failure for a player who is now defending Barcelona. Four days ago, he also failed to score after a penalty shootout when the French national team won 4-1 against Albania, which was tinged with errors by playing the national anthem of visitors.

Antoine Griezmann admits that failure in penalties is always bitter. However, he always looks positive. "The absence of a penalty is an incredible pain, but as I said after I failed last Saturday, I am in good condition, I just need to continue working, it is a reminder that hard work never ends," he told Football5Star. com on the official site of UEFA.

In addition, as quoted by Le Figaro, the former Atletico Madrid player made an appointment to his colleague, striker Olivier Giroud. "Olivier, it is very important for me to do that, now I will let him run the next round," Griezmann said with a smile. "After that, we will meet together."

For Josep Gomes, the success of Antoine Griezmann's sentence has its own meaning. It was the first penalty he saved in an Andorra costume. Previously, 14 times, he always failed to prevent the ball from entering the goal.
