In Ligue 3, one name has been attracting attention since the start of the season.

Currently playing for FC Versailles, Amir Etien has made a solid start to the season with the Paris-region club. He has scored 4 goals in 8 Ligue 3 matches. Amir Etien has been nominated for the championship's Player of the Month award. For this distinction, he was able to count on the support of Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior on social media.

“School was not for me. During the two years when I was injured with a back problem, I had to find something to do. I learned to cut hair during Covid. You should know that Camavinga's older brother is a very good barber, and he took me under his wing when he arrived in Madrid. I worked with him in different barbershops. He started cutting Vinicius' hair, then that of other Real Madrid players, including Karim Benzema. As a result, I had the chance to cut Karim Benzema's hair and I became friends with him,” he told Ligue 1+.
