A flash development took place before the match, when Sporting Lisbon defeated Tondela 3-1. Former Fenerbahce’s Islam Slimani, who plays for Sporting Lisbon, was fired from his team’s training.
HE SAID ERROR FOR FENERBAHÇE
Islam Slimani, who transferred to Fenerbahçe on loan from Leicester City in the 2018/2019 season, evaluated his Turkey adventure as a “mistake”. In a statement to the French channel, Slimani said, “When I came to Fenerbahçe, the coach trusted me and was playing. Then one day they told me that I joined the team on loan, that I would not be in the team next year and that I would not go to training. There were offers in January, but they did not allow me. My transfer to Turkey was a mistake.” said.
31 MILLION EURO BOND SERVICE
Islam Slimani left Sporting for England in 2013 with a transfer fee of 31 million Euros. The forward, who could not show the expected performance with the Leicester City jersey in the Premier League, was loaned to Fenerbahçe. He performed poorly, scoring only 5 goals in 25 matches with the Yellow-Navy Blues.
