The French international had the chance, but he let Odsonne Edouard convert a penalty. Very touched, the left-hander confided after the match that he did not feel capable of taking this penalty against his favorite club.

A confidence which may have aroused incomprehension among the supporters of the Racing Club de Lens. Several Sang et Or fans castigated the attacker’s comments online. Consultant for RMC, Younès Belhanda understood these reactions.

“It’s Lens who pays you, you have to shoot!” »

“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! launched the former Moroccan international. 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,” Belhanda continued. With respect, of course. But I think he must have seen Valbuena in the past, who was booed for his return to Marseille, and who he wanted to anticipate.concluded the former Montpellier.
