Nigeria vs France: Asisat Oshoala identifies three world-class players, what Super Falcons must do

 

Nigeria striker, Asisat Oshoala, has identified France stars, Le Sommer, Gauvin and Renard as world class players ahead of both sides’ tie in their final Group A fixture at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup on Monday night.

The Barcelona star also revealed that the Super Falcons must be technically better and stay concentrated if they want to beat the Les Bleus at the Stade de la Route de Lorient Stadium.

Nigeria head to the game after defeating South Korea 2-0 last Wednesday, while France defeated Norway 2-1.

”They have a very good team, world class players like Le Sommer, Gauvin, Renard, same as my team as well,” Oshoala told FIFA’s official website.

”We have good players that play in top leagues in Europe as well, top players that play in the Champions League.

”I feel it’s still the same, no much difference. We just have to be technically better against them and stay concentrated in the game.”

Nigeria vs Korea Republic: Oshoala speaks on 2-0 win

 

Nigeria striker, Asisat Oshoala has admitted that the first goal in their 2-0 win over Korea on Wednesday gave them more confidence.

Oshoala failed to find the back of the net last Saturday as the Super Falcons were hammered 3-0 by Norway in their opening game of the 2019 Women’s World Cup.

However, the 24-year-old added the second in Grenoble as the African champions claimed maximum points. 

“We had more confidence when we got the first goal.

“And we tried to tell ourselves that we needed to give more because one goal was not enough and then, I got the second goal.

“At first, I think we were a little bit scared of losing and going out. But after a while, we just decided to go for it.

“I always say that I’m never under pressure – I just go on the pitch and do my job. It’s an 11-player game and I just look to enjoy the game, have fun and do the right thing for my team.

“The group is wide open now. We just have to concentrate now on making sure we get the points we need against France,” Oshoala told reporters afterwards.

Nigeria are third in the Group A with three points from two games and will hope to claim their spot in the next round when they face Les Bleus.
