Younès Belhanda, the Moroccan international and midfielder for Montpellier, emphasized the importance of securing a victory in their upcoming match against Evian TGFC. Currently, Montpellier is positioned eighth in the Ligue 1 standings and is aiming to secure a European place.
Belhanda acknowledged the challenges of playing away matches and stressed the need to perform well on the road. Drawing parallels to their previous matches, he highlighted the importance of starting the game strong and avoiding early concessions.
The midfielder also reflected on the team’s performance this season, noting that they haven’t fully recovered from winning the title the previous season. Belhanda mentioned departures and arrivals, causing some upheaval, but he emphasized that changes in mindset compared to the previous year have been a significant factor. According to him, the team needs to rediscover the winning mentality and defensive resilience that characterized their successful campaign last season to compete for European places.
