Captain Onome Ebi has declared
that the Super Falcons are in the right frame of mind to give their all and
subdue Cameroon’s Lionesses in Tuesday’s Women AFCON semi final battle in
Accra.
“We are in very high spirit. The
entire team is well motivated. Our immense gratitude goes to our father, the
President of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, as well as the NFF led by its
President, Mr. Amaju Pinnick. The Government has done well to put us in good
frame of mind and the NFF has done their own part. It is now for us to repay
the good gestures.
“We know that if we continue to
win, it means more money in our pockets. And surely, we want to win more and
make more money. The Cameroonians cannot stop us from the World Cup or from
retaining our Cup. The Cup is ours.”
The Falcons arrived Accra on Sunday
and trained at the Priesec School in Legon, ahead of the official training at
the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday evening.
Reigning African Woman Player of
the Year, Asisat Oshoala, added: “Our captain has said it all. We are here and
we are very happy because our welfare is being attended to. We have received from
the NFF the things we have asked for, and we believe they are ready to do even
more if we also do more.
“Losing to South Africa in our
first match is a big lesson we have taken to heart, but we have put it at the
back of our minds having learnt from it. Any team can lose if it doesn’t give
its all, or fails to come to the party.
“On Tuesday, we will come to the
party strong and focused and we will do the needful.”
