Ms Aisha Falode, a member of the Nigeria Football Federation executive committee has tasked the Super Falcons to be proactive when they face group leaders France in their final group game against Women’s World Cup on Monday.
The Falcons who have recorded one win and a loss from two games at the tournament, need at least a point to advance to the round of 16.
“I must commend the Falcons for their approach and gameplan against the Koreans in Grenoble on Wednesday. They showed the stuff of a champion team with their determination and doggedness, “Falode told thenff.com from Rennes on Saturday.
“However, against France on Monday in Rennes, we will need to be much more proactive and try to dictate the pace of the game.
“We must study them for the first five minutes or thereabout and then set out our tactics on how to contain them and also launch our own onslaughts in search of goals. It will be an interesting match but a good result is possible for Nigeria.
The Falcons 2-0 win over Korea Republic last Wednesday was the first time in 20 years that they won a World Cup match by more than one goal, and was also the first win by an African team at France 2019.
Meanwhile, Falcons players and officials paid a visit to the Mayor of Bedee in Rennes, ahead of Monday’s clash with the host nation.
