Cape Town City’s Thabo Nodada has revealed that he has the ambition to ply his trade abroad and wants to learn from Head Coach Benni McCarthy who had an illustrious career in Europe.
The 22-year-old central midfielder has been in outstanding form for the Mother City-based club, cementing his place in Head Coach McCarthy’s starting line-up.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of his side’s Telkom Knockout clash on Sunday, the player revealed that he is enjoying his football, harbouring the ambition to one day play abroad.
“Yeah definitely,” when asked if he is enjoying his football. “But it is very hard to assess the form and everything when the team is coming off losses. It is not very easy to sit and gloat about how you are doing when the team as a whole is not collecting what they should be collecting,” he added.
“But, overall I am just happy with the progression in my game. I am happy with me growing as a footballer, I am happy with learning from the coach, as I said before, I would love to go overseas and ply my trade. Obviously with him (Benni McCarthy) now, here, who has done it overseas, whatever tips he gives me, I am going to take very seriously,” he went on to say.
Nodada also revealed that being called (N’Golo) ‘Kante’ in the football fraternity gives him great motivation to keep working hard.
“It is a big motivation, I obviously don’t want to see it go to an extent where even I do go overseas, they say Kante, Kante! But yeah, at this point, it gives me a lot of motivation going forward because he did wonders last season at Chelsea and for me to be compared to him shows that the amount of hard work that I am doing on the field is appreciated,” he told the media.
