It's a question of principle. Basically, the fact that Florian Thauvin did not take the penalty obtained by Lens against Marseille did not pose a problem for the Sang et Or. Odsonne Edouard succeeded in his attempt, and Racing won against OM (2-1) at Bollaert.
But for Thauvin to decide to avoid his responsibility, because it was his former club opposite, that is not to the taste of Younès Belhanda. “ I think it was there from the start of the match: he was the first designated shooter. If he didn't want to, he had to say it before the match so there wouldn't have been any controversy. »
“If he scores in the match, he doesn't celebrate and that's it. But this interview he gives at the end about the penalty… it's Lens who pays you, you play for this club, you have to shoot! »railed the Moroccan on RMC.
Thauvin, not everyone would have done like him…
Belhanda would not have expressed any feelings. “When I was in Nice, against Montpellier, my favorite club, I scored there and I wanted to score a second, a third. But with respect, I didn't celebrate. If I could have worn a panenka, I would have worn it. With respect of course”he confided.
The former MHSC player, however, has an idea of Thauvin's motivations on this subject. “I think he must have seen Valbuena in the past, who was booed for his return to Marseille, and that he wanted to anticipate. »
