But where did Youcef Belaïli go? The question is on everyone’s lips and burns those of the leaders of Brest. Three days after Algeria’s traumatic defeat against Cameroon (1-0, 1-2) in the World Cup qualifiers, the midfielder has still not returned to Finistère. Worse, he did not answer the many phone calls from Brest managers and staff.
“I don’t know where he is, we’re trying to reach him, but we can’t, got annoyed at a press conference, Michel Der Zakarian, the club’s coach. We don’t have an answer. And the least we can do is give news, call. »
Should we be worried? Is this the new whim of the one who celebrated his 30th birthday on March 14? Difficult to know exactly why this player, as talented as he is uncontrollable, with a controversial personality, has still not returned to life. On his social networks, messages were still published in recent hours.
Nicknamed El Loco, Pablo Escobar, or the Algerian Neymar, he arrived this winter after seeing his contract terminated with the Qatar Sport club. He had since played six games with the Bretons and delivered an assist.
The participation of the Algerian international in the planned trip to Montpellier, this Sunday in Ligue 1, is therefore more than compromised.
