The chief coach of the Under 20 Women National Team, Christopher Danjuma said their major target is to ensure that they qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Costa Rica.
He stated this after the Falconet’s training session at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja yesterday.
His words, “We are preparing adequately and everyone expected is on ground and doing great. We are in an excellent mood with everybody on fire because this is the chance to inch close to grabbing the U20 Women’s World Cup ticket and the mentality is to settle for nothing short of victory.
He said this is a lifetime opportunity for them to be in the World Cup and they cannot afford to miss it. “The match is extremely important to us because Nigeria has always been present at every World Cup edition since its inception. This is a trend that we hope must continue. Some of these young ladies were not privileged to play at the cancelled 2020 edition due to coronavirus outbreak but now this is a lifetime opportunity at the stage to achieve their dreams.”
He further stated, “We know a great deal about the Cameroonian team which helped us in drawing out a plan as to what we should be expecting and how to go about it. One lesson we learned from the first leg match was that a game has to be won during regular time by making sure all the opportunities that come our way is taken and conceding no goal and to always be in front scoring goals throughout the game.
The tactician who is also the coach of Nasarawa Amazons also added, “This is the qualifiers and the target is to be in Costa Rica for the main tournament come August this year. The goal now is that we are consumed by the desire that everything we feel and have about this tie is beating Cameroon and going to the final round.”
It would be recalled that the first leg ended in a goalless draw against the Junior Lioness of Cameroon, a win at the MKO Abiola National Stadium Abuja on Saturday will secure the Nigerian side ticket to the final round of match for the World Cup qualification.
