Nigeria are not expecting anything
from Tuesday’s semi final clash with Cameroon except victory and a place in the
Final of the 11th Women Africa Cup of Nations, according to Head
Coach Thomas Dennerby.
A place in the final will also
guarantee the Super Falcons a slot at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in
France.
Speaking at the pre –match conference
on Monday, Dennerby said: “Our preparation is good; we simply work on the team
and we don’t change so much. We had a plan coming to the tournament and we stick
to it. This is one of five games in total, and our objective remains a place at
the World Cup as well as defending the trophy.
“Our primary objective had always
been qualifying for the World Cup. We have a good opportunity to achieve that
tomorrow. We have to stick by our match plan and be fully focused. Victory and
World Cup ticket tomorrow will make us more relaxed playing in the Final.”
On her part, Captain Onome Ebi
said: “Whenever we play Cameroon, it is always a big fight. We are prepared for
the big fight tomorrow and we are sure we will come out victorious. There is no
doubt that the Cameroonians have improved from the team we defeated in Yaounde
in 2016. But that is expected.
