Victorious over Cape Verde (5-1) Thursday in a friendly match, Algeria was marked by a “penaltygate” during the game. Islam Slimani, who shot and scored the penalty to the detriment of Saïd Benrahma, brushed aside the controversies after the match by asking to be respected.
Algeria also has its “penaltygate”. If Djamel Belmadi’s team won its friendly match against Cape Verde (5-1) this Thursday, Islam Slimani was singled out for his attitude during the last goal of the evening. After causing a foul in the penalty area (88th), Saïd Benrahma thought he could take the penalty but the former OL striker took the ball from his teammate’s hands.
Slimani demands to be respected
In the mixed zone after the game, Islam Slimani lost his temper over the comments made about him related to his attitude on the action. “The players designated to take the penalties are Slimani and Mahrez,” said the person concerned in defense, while indicating that it was “automatic” that he could take this responsibility in the absence of the ex-player. of Manchester City.
Islam Slimani deplored “the controversies”, highlighting his selection CV with 42 goals in 94 selections. “There is no debate,” said the 35-year-old man, who wants to be “respected”. Arriving in Brazil last August, at Coritiba FC, the striker has scored three goals in five games since. “People criticize me just because I was born in Algeria, at 35 I play in Brazil and not in Qatar,” Slimani said.
On his social networks, Said Benrahma shared a photo with Islam Slimani. “Legend,” wrote the West Ham player, clearly not angry with his partner. Next Monday, the Fennecs will play another friendly match, this time against Egypt.
