Super Falcons coach Randy Waldrum has revealed that he criticized the Nigerian media because he wants them to dwell more on the positives even when the team loses.
The Super Falcons began their journey to a tenth Women’s Africa Cup of Nations trophy on a poor note. Nigeria lost 2-1 to South Africa in their opening fixture of the tournament.
Asides from the loss, the quality of play was poor, with the Super Falcons lacking cohesion in attack.
However, they bounced back with an impressive 2-0 victory over Botswana. It was a dominant display from Nigeria, as they showed class on the night and created more chances than they did against South Africa.
“I’m a big believer in building the Women’s game,” Waldrum said as per OgaNla media.
“And I just think we need the media because they are important to us
“I’d like to see positives in our game. We all should be held accountable when we don’t win, and questions should be asked.”
