At a time when Rayan Cherki maintains suspense over his choice between the France team and Algeria, Islam Slimani sent him a hell of a message. For the Fennecs' best gunner, the vagueness maintained by the Olympique Lyonnais star is not a good thing. And Slimani let him know what he thought.

At the time I knew him (at OL), he was still very young and wasn't really thinking about his international future or the Algerian team in particular. But things change over time. Regardless, my position remains unchanged: the national team is not a club that you choose. Either we are Algerian or we are not“, he declared in an interview with El Khabar.
