Coleman ends season in Lithuania KAINO NGHITONGONamibian football star Zenatha Coleman played her last game at her Lithuanian club Gintra Universitat on Saturday, scoring two goals.
Since the Namibian joined the team in April, she has scored 55 goals, while teammate Thomalina Adams has scored eight goals.
Saturday’s game was the last match for Coleman as she will be returning home today, with a game left before the season ends.
Chatting to Namibian Sun from Lithuania, Coleman said she was proud of what she was able to deliver at the club.
“I have lived up to my goal of delivering and showing the team what I am able to deliver,” she said, adding that since her coach decided to play her as a forward and not a midfielder she was able to deliver.
“The coach decided to play me as a forward one day but I don’t know what made him do that so I used the little experience that I had of playing in that position to my ability of scoring goals which of course I think I did particularly well because I am not a natural forward player, rather more midfield minded so when I scored four goals, I ended up being a forward the whole season,” she said.
Coleman said with the experience gained during the season of being a forward, she would love to play in the same position for the Brave Gladiators.
She mentioned that her coach was impressed with her scoring. “He is also impressed with my work rate. Whether it’s training or just a friendly, I always give my best.”
The Namibian is currently the top goal scorer in her team with 55 goals, just four goals ahead of her Ukrainian teammate Tatiana Kozyrenko with 50 goals.
“For now I am still the top goal scorer but very soon Kozyrenko will catch up as she is only four goals behind me and they still have one more game to go before the league ends and I will not be part of it as we are flying back home today,” she said.
