Antoine Griezzman has slammed Chelsea and Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois after he accused France of playing 'anti-football' in Tuesday's semi-final match.

France advanced to final with a vital 1-0 win against Belgium, secured by Samuel Umititi's header in the second half.

Belgium dominated the opening face but failed to breakdown a very stubborn France team, protected by die-hard defensive Midfielder N'Golo Kante and Co.

After the match, Courtois was one of the Belgium players who critised France for their style of play.

He said: 'it's just an anti-football team.

'Their Striker players 30metres from his own goal.

'France needs a corner and does nothing more than defend.
'I would have preferred to have lost against Brazil in the quarter-finals, at least that was a team that wanted to play football'

Courtois's Club and International teammate Eden Hazard said: ' I prefer to lose with this Belgium than with that France.

But Griezzman, who is likely to partner Olivier Giroud in attack on Sunday in Moscow, reminded Courtois that Chelsea, under their now former manager Antonio Conte, were hardly famed for free-flowing attacking football.

He said: 'Does Thibaut Courtois think that at Chelsea he plays Barcelona football? I don't care how, I want a second star to be on this shirt. That is all.'
