Youcef Belaïli returned to official competition with AC Ajaccio yesterday afternoon. The Algerian international struck again by scoring the winning goal from a penalty. His trainer Olivier Pantaloni praised him.
For the resumption of Ligue 1 Uber Eats, AC Ajaccio won at home against SCO Angers. An oh so important victory because it allowed him to leave the red zone on the board. Indeed, the Corsican club is in 14th place with 15 points on the clock.
The great architect of the victory is Youcef Belaïli since he was the author of the only goal. Having provoked a penalty, he managed to turn it into a goal. The Algerian international has received praise from his coach Olivier Pantaloni, who called him a top player.
“He is a top level player. But he is not in good shape yet because he had a slightly delayed recovery, then he was sick during the preparation. He was still sick at halftime. He is a player who is capable of making the difference. He feels good with us and is always happy to come to training. He gives his all for the team. We know what he can bring us, we try to put him in the best possible mood. I think everyone has benefited from it, him in relation to his career, and us in relation to our season. Said the Corsican technician during the post-match press conference.
“The best is yet to come”, launches Belaïli
Youcef Belaïli, meanwhile, said he was happy with the victory but also with the goal he scored. He promises that he will be even better in the future.
“It’s a good match and a great victory. We are happy because we snatched the three points which allowed us to leave the red zone on the board. I congratulate my teammates who did everything to win the match,” he said straight away and added: “Of course I’m happy to score a goal. I have to keep working and I will be even better as the games go on.”
