Monaco coach Jardim blasts Leicester striker Slimani after Bordeaux defeat

AS Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim blasted Islam Slimani after defeat to Bordeaux.

On-loan from Leicester City, Algeria striker Slimani scored before being sent off in the 2-1 loss.

Jardim remarked afterwards: "With 15 days without competition, the players lose their concentration and today, many have missed. It is very important to play at a high level.

"I blamed Slimani for his lack of concentration. But not that, the fact that he talks to the referee, the fans, his lack of marking. He scored a goal but I sincerely expect more from him, it is also important to behave well and it was not a great day for him."
