# Oscar Schwartau Credits Shooting Directive After Norwich City Goal

Norwich City midfielder Oscar Schwartau has praised his new tactical instructions after scoring a spectacular long-range goal during Wednesday’s 2-1 victory over Birmingham City.

Manager Philippe Clement restored the 20-year-old to his preferred number 10 position for the Carrow Road fixture. The selection follows a brief rest period where [Schwartau’s tactical versatility](https://readnorwich.com/2026/09/08/schwartau-rotation-fits-clement-positional-masterplan/) proved vital for squad rotation.

## Distance Shooting Yields Crucial Victory

The Danish prospect admitted he struggled for early rhythm before lashing a right-footed shot past goalkeeper James Beadle. Pape Amadou Diallo secured a two-goal advantage before half-time, though Carlos Vicente reduced the deficit late on.

Speaking to [The Pink Un](https://www.pinkun.com/sport/interviews/26537320.oscar-schwartau-key-norwich-city-goal-v-birmingham), the midfielder delivered a candid assessment of his individual display.

“It was pretty important for the team and myself. I didn’t play that well up until the goal, but to score a goal like that is always a great feeling,” Schwartau said.

## Unpredictable Edge Benefits Philippe Clement

The player confirmed his willingness to shoot from distance stems from a concerted effort to exploit space.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about shooting from outside the box, so it was just a great feeling to see it in,” he added.

His decisive finishing offers Clement a valuable dimension to break down stubborn Championship opposition. Norwich will look to build upon their consecutive league wins when they travel to face Middlesbrough on Saturday.
