Islam Slimani, Sporting Lisbon's No. 1 Asset!
by |
Slimani has got it all!
If there is a place for Algerian players to go and succeed, it’s Portugal. Brahimi, Soudani as well as Madjer are some of the playes who have done very well in the land of Lusitanian. This season is no exception. Islam Slimani is flying the flag high for Algerian football. The second top scorer in Liga NOS, the Algerian native has already scored 16 goals in 18 appearances in the league, to the delight of the Sporting fans who sho see their team sit top of the table. Good in the air and been able to read the game very well, its no wonder the Algerian has won the « Man of the Match » award on two occasions for the Green and Whites. He is returning to form as he has scored more goals than Ronaldo since the start of the season.
Scoring goals to go down in Sporting history?
With Sporting currently leading the championship, they must be a talented side, but especially to the many achievements of their prolific Algerian striker. Decisive in many big games, such as the win over Porto, the Algerian is 7th in the scoring charts in Europe and is one of the most influential players across the 5 major leagues this season. If you take away his match winning goals this season, Sporting would be 9 points worse off and would sit in 3rd place behind Porto and Benfica ! Thankfully from a Sporting point of view he is there and could help the Lions win their first League title sice 2002.
