Islam Slimani, the Algerian striker at Sporting Club de Portugal, faced challenges in securing a regular spot in the first team. During a Portuguese Cup match against Alba, Slimani remained on the bench until the 69th minute but made a significant impact by scoring a goal after entering the game. His agent, Youssef Choukri, expressed Slimani’s desire for more playing time and questioned the coach’s decision not to start him. Despite the challenges, Choukri emphasized that Slimani respects his teammates and remains committed to Sporting Club de Portugal. The agent also mentioned Slimani’s ambition to play a crucial role in Algeria’s quest for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
