Like Hatem Ben Arfa, Youcef Belaïli did not manage to fully exploit the extraordinary talent he had.

Endowed with technical qualities well above average, Youcef Belaïli has undoubtedly not fully exploited his great potential during his career. His few experiences in Ligue 1, in Angers (2017-2018), Brest (2022) and Ajaccio (2022-2023), ended in failure. Since the start of the season, the Algerian international has returned to MC Alger. A club whose colors he had already worn during the 2014-2015 financial year, under the leadership of Hubert Velud.

The one who is currently the coach of Burkina Faso remembers this period very well. “To talk about Youcef, it would take a whole show. To summarize, he is someone who should have had a career at Real, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea. He made his way all the same, but compared to his potential…”regrets the French technician, during an interview given to bein Sportsbefore qualifying his remarks. “It’s also a lifestyle that is difficult to reconcile with high-level football, but hey, that’s how it is. This is also what makes it strong. He is an instinctive player, who is unapologetic, with great self-confidence and enormous potential. He has everything. »

🇨🇵 Hubert Velud (Burkinabe coach 🇧🇫):

“Belaili?” Normally for him it was: Real, PSG, Chelsea…”

Youcef Belaïli started in the Fennecs’ first two group matches for CAN 2023. Djamel Belmadi should trust him again on Tuesday evening, at 9 p.m., for the crucial match against Mauritania.
