Adriano reveals European return on Twitter
Rio de Janeiro: Former Brazil striker Adriano has sparked fresh reports of a return to European football by sending a Twitter message to his “new fans” at French club La Havre.
The 32-year-old, who has not played regular football since 2010, has been in talks with the second division side since October, reports Xinhua.
“Merry Christmas to my new fans at Le Havre. I am very happy to join you for a new sporting challenge,” the former Brazil striker wrote on twitter.
The message prompted local newspaper O Globo to report that the former Brazil striker is set to join La Havre in the January transfer window.
The Normandy outfit are currently 11th in Ligue 2 with 23 points from 18 matches.
Adriano has been beset by injuries and personal problems since ending a successful five-year spell at Italy’s Internazionale in 2009.
He has 27 goals from 48 matches for Brazil, and was the Selecao’s top scorer in their 2004 Copa America and 2005 Confederations Cup triumphs.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
