I watched a video on youtube about the closed Sicilian where is said that Nge7 is better than Nf6 because in the latter white has the plan h3-g4-g5, harassing the knight
Closed Sicilian Nf6?

This is completely different, i guess it is about g6 systems.
For example, this game is the model game often given against g6-Nf6 set up as white :
Here a game with e6 (and no g6), where white goes for the pawn storm and it works easily :
When black goes for e6, the best for him/her is probably to follow with d5, then we have a completely different game.
For example, here are some ideas :
About chasing the Nf6 with e5, I don't think this is so good. White attacks the knight and so what? Black could undermine e5 with d6 or f6 later. We cannot compare with Alekhine, white cannot really play d4 here.
White should stay on e4, to keep his/her central pawns and play like the games i gave above.
can be thought of as a branch of Alekhine's Defense. what has also been played by some Masters, but not recommended is ……..Nf6 on the 2nd move of the Sicilian Defense -- 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3, Nf6
