Technical assistant of the Super Falcons,Thomas Obliers arrived Nigeria on Monday as the German was part of team's Tuesday training session.
Obliers, who was part of Falcons coaching crew at the just concluded women's world cup believes that the overall performance of Falcons was good but they had problems scoring goals.
"The girls played well but they have to learn to score goals. If we had scored against France the tournament could have favoured us.
Against Germany,Obliers, said the Falcons had chances to score but could not utilize them, stressing taht the team fitness was better than that of the Germans but he was surprised that Falcons failed to win that match.
While noting that Falcons should had scored 3 to 4 goals against Canada, the German, said the Falcons had a strong team with good defence, good in endurance and marking ability but inability to score goals was the major problem of the team.
"The bottom line is that we didn't score goals. Scoring was our problem" the German said.
On Nigeria's chances to qualify for the London 2012 Olympics, Obliers replied
by saying "Our performance at the world cup was very good. If we repeat same
performance Cameroon stand no chance. It is going to be a tough match but I
know we will qualify" he said.
