MAX Kretzschmar has developed a useful knack of scoring goals in important games – it’s even earned him the nickname of the Non-League Didier Drogba!
The Woking midfielder is enjoying one of his best seasons yet under boss Alan Dowson which has seen the part-time Cards become one of the National League’s early surprise packages once again.
Kretzschmar, with his energy but also craft, has played a big part and contributed five goals in all competitions.
He’s worked his way into the team after netting the winner against local rivals Aldershot Town in the FA Cup and then one at Gillingham in the first round.
Dowson can always count upon Kretzschmar on the big stage – he scored a late equaliser in Woking’s play-off semi final in 2019 too – just like Chelsea and the Ivory Coast could on serial winner Drogba.
“I don’t know where it comes from but I definitely enjoy it!” Kretzschmar, a Chelsea fan, told The NLP. “The gaffer said before the Gillingham game, ‘Max is going to play on the right wing and you know he’s going to score!’ I came in at half-time after scoring and he was like, ‘I told you lot!’
“It’s a nice knack to have and a bit of a reputation but I want to score in all sorts of games. The last week has been really enjoyable and I’ve been able to do that.”
