Super Falcons striker, Desire Oparanozie, has expressed confidence in the team’s game plan as they prepare to face England in the Round of 16 at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brisbane on Monday.
Learning from China’s recent 6-1 loss to England, Nigeria aims to secure a victory against the European champions.
The Super Falcons showed impressive form in the group stage, remaining unbeaten and accumulating five points in Group B, setting up a challenging encounter with the formidable Lionesses of England.
Despite England’s dominance in the group stage, Nigeria is undaunted and has a well-formulated game plan to turn the tables in their favor.
Oparanozie emphasized that the team has closely studied England’s gameplay, particularly their recent match against China, and are determined not to repeat the same mistakes made by China. The Super Falcons are confident in their preparations and are working on a strategy to take on the strong English side.
Having witnessed England’s ruthless performance in their final group game with a resounding 6-1 victory against China, Nigeria recognizes the challenge that lies ahead. However, Oparanozie and her teammates remain determined and believe that their tactical approach can spur them to victory against the European champions.
Reaching the quarterfinals of the World Cup is a significant milestone for the Super Falcons, and a win against England would mark only the second time the Nigerian team has achieved this feat.
As the much-anticipated clash approaches, the Super Falcons are focused and ready to give their all in pursuit of victory and advancement in the prestigious tournament.
