Tino Kadewere "Doesn't Pay Much Attention" To Critics

France-based Warriors forward Tinotenda Kadewere has said his focus is on the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers to be played in South Africa this month and is not paying attention to “armchair critics”.

This comes after the Nantes forward came under criticism on social media platforms for his poor performances in Warriors colours.

Speaking to The Herald, Kadewere, who has scored three goals in the past seven games, said he doesn’t pay attention “to some few activists”. He said:

I am a professional footballer who doesn’t pay much attention to what people say. Whether I am being criticised or hyped, it doesn’t matter to me.

Look, my job is to serve the country. So the most important thing for me is to do that with utmost dedication.

If I get the chance to play, I put my body to the line, to try and give my all for the love of my country.

I feel the ultimate satisfaction of donning the national badge, which was my dream while still growing up.

So I can’t pay attention to some few activists, who might have some score to settle with me anyway.

Zimbabwe is bigger and more important than that. So I can’t be swayed by any pseudo-activists. We have crucial games coming and that’s where my attention is at the moment.

Kadewere insisted that a striker’s performance should not be solely assessed based on the number of goals they score. He said:

We can’t be so naive to think that a striker’s role is all about scoring goals.

You are up there and sometimes come deep to help in midfield roles and get to provide goalscoring chances for teammates.

Sometimes, as a striker, to be realistic, you are not always lucky with goals. You get chances and you put some of them away and miss the other chances.

But you are always trying to put your act together. I feel very proud to represent my country and I am very hurt if things do not go our way.

I am glad most football stakeholders in the country do acknowledge our efforts and are always in full support of the team, including rallying behind every player picked to do duty for the country.

Last week, former Warriors player and coach Johannes Ngodzo queried the exclusion of leading goal scorers in the local premiership from the Warriors squad for the two matches.

He argued that the likes of Lynoth Chikuhwa, who plays for Highlanders and is the top goal scorer with 7 goals, and Never Rauzhi of Bulawayo Chiefs who has netted six times, should have been called up for the Warriors.

Zimbabwe will “host” Lesotho at Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg on June 7 before taking on Bafana Bafana at Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on June 11.

@ Jah Bhora do you know the level of skill and attention to detail that is required inorder to be a professional footballer let alone play in one of Europe's top five leagues??..The majority of players especially in our and I hate to admit this substandard backwaters of a premier league would give up their entire lives just for five minutes in Ligue 1 UberEATS...The level that is required to even make the bench of a topflight team is something to behold yet here in Zimbabwe we chastise and criticize Tino as if we know any better...It is you that should sit down and get familiar with the intricacies of the football league rankings system...A half blind Tino Kadewere should always be picked and started over the part time weekend warriors that masquerade as football players who play in the Castle Lager premier league... That's the bottom line because The Griot said so

Kadewere is a big guy as far as football is concerned. His inclusion brings fear to the opponents. Let us scout more talent from the English Premier league.

@ Wa Gutu if you had read my comment as you claim to have done so you wouldn't be making the argument... Kadewere might have struggled recently but it is mostly through no fault of his own and he is still by far Zimbabwe's best option... That's the bottom line because The Griot said so

Tino has been firing blanks all along. Maybe God is going work a miracle on his international duty. Let's hope he's going to silence all the critics.

That doesn't change the fact that he can't score.
tino · 10 months ago
at least he earns more..
Mbeva Dzinonaka · 10 months ago
He earns more than who? I'm a senior executive at Apple in the United Kingdom. I can pay Kadewere his 6 month salary with my one week pay.
