Passed by Montpellier and Nice in France, Younes Belhanda could also have worn the jersey of the Greens during his adolescence as he revealed on Périscope.
Trained in Montpellier, Younes Belhanda could have had a very different trajectory. Indeed, before committing to the Hérault club, it is atAS Saint-Etienne that the Moroccan international could have evolved as he revealed during a live Periscope with Manu Lonjon. ” When I was young, I tried out in Montpellier, Monaco, Lyon, Saint-Étienne and when I tried in Saint-Étienne, I liked the training center and I said I go sign over there. And so, I signed there and two or three weeks before the start of the school year, I was too afraid to go, even my mother was afraid that I would go because it was too far. I was never going to see them every week. So, I called the recruiter who recruited me and told him I didn’t want to come, my mother doesn’t want to come. They said to me “OK, it doesn’t matter you will come next year”. And I couldn’t wait until next year without going to a training center. I really wanted to go to a training center. At 13, my eyes were full of stars, I had to go. I called Montpellier afterwards. I said “do you still want me?” because they knew that I had signed in Saint-Etienne. They said “yes, don’t worry, you can come”. So I went to Montpellier. “, Explain Belhanda, in words relayed by EVECT. A winning choice for him since the Moroccan won the title a few years later with the MHSC, in 2012.
