Andréas Hountondji is Standard’s new striker. He hopes to regain his confidence in Sclessin.
If Burnley agreed to loan Andréas Hountondji to Standardit is above all to allow him to play a little more. Under the orders of Scott Parker, the Beninese international only started two matches in the Championship…the only two defeats of the Clarets season, during which the team failed to find the net .
However, when he is confident, Hountondji is a threat to opposing defenses. Last season, he scored 14 goals in Ligue 2 with Rodez.
To make the powder speak again
The native of Montry actually belonged to Caen, who received four million for his transfer to England. But he hadn’t played there for two seasons, with two successive loans, until this explosion in Rodez.
-A Caenthe striker was seen as a hope for the club, without however managing to establish himself over time as a starter. However, he has already made the Stade Malherbe vibrate, with this goal that remains in the memories against Sochaux.
While the Caennais were trailing by a goal a few seconds from the end of regulation time, Hountondji fired an absolutely sublime curling shot into the top corner. His second and final goal for Caen brought an entire stadium to its feet…so that the team finally conceded the 1-2 in added time.
