Aimé Tendeng comes into play. Casa is counting on him to remain at the top in Senegal this season
A complete depopulation is when you have no living beings. Casa Sports fans have this fear after Lamin Jarju’s transfer this summer. He was their best player last season. The Green and White have resources and propelled Aimé Tendeng.
A particle accelerator
Spotted in the Navétanes (popular neighborhood championship) while spending his holidays in Ziguinchor, Aimé Tendeng tries his luck during the Casa detections in 2018. “When my uncle saw me play for the first time that year, he immediately said to himself that if I have good coaching I can succeed, reveals Aimé Tendeng at the microphone of SNA. I confessed to him that my dream was to play football and stay at Casa. He immediately convinced my father to leave me in Ziguinchor”.
Tendeng is a key player in the second team’s midfield. His puncher skills have made him a valuable addition. “He is a number 10, a good dribbler, who has a penetrating force and who is able to break lines in his ball grips. He is a number 10, capable of playing with both his back and goal. This is a rare number 10 in modern football. He is a player that is constantly vertical, strong, and has extraordinary speed.Ansou Diadhiou ignites, coach of Casa. He can be reached by telephone.
In two seasons with the first team, Aimé Tendeng has already won two Senegal Cups and the championship last season. He has greatly contributed to the sacred prize list. Playmaker capable to move lower with the profile box-to-box. Even if their models respond more by their finesse rather than their power. “In my neighborhood I had Moussa Marone as an idol(GFC winger, ex Casa Sports). I imitated him often when I was younger because I loved his style. Paulo Dybala is my European reference.He was confident.
A natural succession
Despite the arrival of winger Christopher Serge Simon this summer to replace Lamin Jarju, it is Aimé Tendeng on whom the attacking leadership rests. He scored his first goal this season in their 2-0 win against US Gorée (October 30). He is taking on more and more responsibilities. “In recent weeks, he has felt that it is now up to him to carry the team as Lamin Jarju did, if not more because he is capable of it. He is realizing it. It was too late, he had to leave club. He realized after the match against GF(J.2) that he would not be leaving this season that he had to raise his game, be more responsible, and keep the team at arm’s length.Casa coach.
This added dimension led to his teammates unanimously naming him their captain for this season. “It clicked in his brain and it was felt during training.”Ansou Diadhiou rejoiced “I always thought of myself as a leader in this team. We had a good relationship with Lamin. It’s just the collective that allowed me to be at this level (…) But it’s true that this year I decided to take on more responsibilities and to be the leader of the team. I now wear the armband before my elders. I know that I am eagerly awaited”.
A player with great potential, Aimé Tendeng still has a huge margin for improvement. “When he comes back for the ball, he sometimes forgets that he is number 10 and that he has to let go of the ball quickly. He’s still a young player and it’s understandable. He is slowly working to overcome his weaknesses and realizes that he is responsible for the final pass. He must also know how he can finish. noted Ansou Diadhiou.

After last season’s double, the Home SportsThe gang is still hungry for titles. And making history is the main objective this season for Aimé Tendeng and his gang. “For me nothing is impossible in football,He launches immediately. Our goal this season is to maintain the league title like we did with the Senegal Cup. We had already decided that we would do it again. It’s an exciting challenge to be the first club to hold the title since the beginning of the professional era. You must win as many trophies possible before you can move on to other challenges. It is my ambition”He assures.
This feat could place the 21-year old player in the spotlight. “If he continues to work, he can go very far. He could even be a member of the A team in Senegal in two or three years. He might not finish the season in Senegal.Fears his coach. He wants to leave the club because he knows that he has great qualities, potential, and is always improving. I see him rising very high and being one the most talked about players in Africa and the world.He added.
Aimé Jr Tendeng does not budge. This season is his. “It’s up to me to carry the team this season. We are very sorry for Lamin Jarju, but football was what separated us.
