Former Super Falcons coach, Ismaila Mabo has enjoined Nigeria’s national under-17 team Flamingoes to work hard on their game and beat China in their opening group D match of the FIFA
U-17 Women World Cup which gets underway
this weekend in Costa Rica.
The Flamingoes, who also have Colombia
and Mexico in the group, face
China
on March 16 at the Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto, Alajuela.
Mabo, who has coach the senior women team to both World Cup and
Olympic Games, expressed the belief that
a “comprehensive victory in the
encounter will put Nigeria on a better and
safer footing to run the championship, devoid of pressure. “I would ease the
pressure off them as they seek to make an appreciable impact in the
championship.
“I think Flamingoes have a very good chance to progress in
group D and they can achieve that by starting on a good footing with victory in
their opening match against China.
If they are able to record victory in that game then they can face the
remaining matches in the group with less pressure.
“I’ve been impressed with the team preparations in Faro and
with the reports coming out from the camp of the Flamingoes I want to believe
that they ready for the competition.
The former Super Falcons went ahead to warned the players
not to be complacent as the championship progresses.
“I believe we’ve a good team in Costa Rican but they
must avoid complacency in their games and if they are able to do that i can see
them doing the nation proud,” he said
