Youcef Belaili is getting back on track in his country. The Algerian winger finds a second youth within the capital club, MC Alger.

Belaili gets noticed by Belmadi

Belaili joined Mouloudia at the end of the summer and since then he has continued to be talked about. In four championship matches, he was decisive 7 times, with four goals and 3 assists. Friday, he was the big man of the match between his team and ES Setif (5-3), notably with a goal scored.

With his return to favor, the Oranese can hope to return to the selection after several months of absence. But it won’t be this month. Coach Djamel Belmadi did not call him up for the friendly matches against Cape Verde (October 12) and Egypt (October 16).

Last month, when he was questioned by RMC Sport about Belaili’s international future, Belmadi nevertheless opened a door by declaring: “I follow the evolution not only of Youcef, but also of Benlamri. That of M’Bolhi too. I have the information you need about him. It’s up to him and everyone will benefit from it. Because he is a talented player, and does not repeat the mistakes he made in the past. We’ll see. Each day has enough trouble of its. Good luck to him “.

As a reminder, Belaili, who has 49 caps with the Greens, was one of the great architects of the last Algerian coronation at the CAN. It was 2019 in Egypt.
