Starting against OM last week, Tino Kadewere missed a huge opportunity which could have allowed the Canaries to take the advantage. But the former OL striker missed, and his team lost.
Definitely from Nantes after a loan from OL last season, Tino Kadewere has had a checkered start to the season with the Canaries. Author of a goal and two assists, the Zimbabwean international has the confidence of Antoine Kombouaré, but the Nantes coach expects more efficiency from his 28-year-old striker. The most glaring example is undoubtedly his huge miss against Olympique Marseille last week. Alone in front of goal after Geoffrey Kondogbia lost the ball, the former Le Havre striker had the choice of shooting or passing to Mostafa Mohamed. Option No. 1 was chosen, but Tino Kadewere missed wide with a shot clearly above Geronimo Rulli’s goal. A failure which really affected the native of Harare as he admitted in an interview with Eurosport.
“It’s true that I still think about this missed opportunity. Honestly, it touched me because I know I can do better. I was sad for the supporters but also because it was my son’s birthday. The morning of the match, he said to me: ‘Dad, I have a feeling you’re going to score today to celebrate my 10th birthday’. That’s why I do this celebration with my ten fingers on my first goal. In the end, it would have been good for us to take a point against Marseille. This occasion, I went to pick it up on my own by doing some dry cleaning. If I had concluded the action, it could have been good for me” recognized Tino Kadewere, who could have restarted his season in the event of a goal against OM last Sunday. After this huge failure which clearly affected him, the Zimbabwean’s reaction will be closely monitored this Saturday evening against Lens at 7 p.m.
