To the players of the national team Zimbawe they are known as The Warriors (The Warriors, in English) an appellation that comes to him that neither painted Tino Kadewere, (Harare, 1996) one of the only two players born in the African country who plays in one of the five major leagues. The forward became one of the great figures of the weekend after scoring a double in the derby of the Rhone between Lyon and the Saint Étienne which served to give the victory to the Lion team (2-1). Two goals that the footballer wanted to dedicate to the members of the board of directors for having turned to him and his family after suffering the death of his older brother, Prince, the last summer. “I will never forget that without having even debuted, in the final phase of the Champions August, before the Manchester City, my new teammates from Lyon took to the field with a t-shirt to encourage me and my family after the death of my brother Prince, “Kadewere recalls emotionally.

“He is a true warrior” said his current coach of the forward, Rudi Garcia, after the meeting on Sunday. It was the French coach who endorsed his signing last January. Kadewere was emerging in Le Havre in the League 2, where he scored 20 goals in 24 games last season, and was signed to be the natural replacement for Moussa Dembelé for 12 million euros.

In this first leg of the season, it was difficult for him to adapt to Olympique Lyon, with whom until Sunday's game against Saint Étienne, he had only scored one goal. But that's already the past. Yesterday Kadewere he was on the front pages of French newspapers, his colleagues hugged him and his technician raved about praise for a boy who has experienced a family tragedy and continues with a smile. A Warrior. A warrior.
