Right-back Michelle Alozie says the Super Falcons are ready to give all their best against European champions, England, in their Round of 16 clash at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
Alozie, who has been a revelation at the tournament, said the Falcons have faced tough opposition in the competition already and this will help them on how to approach their game against England on Monday.
She said: “It is going to be a hard game and we have had a hard game against Canada, so we expect nothing less, it’s obviously a knockout round, and they will be ready to face us, and we are ready to put up a battle. And we are expecting a battle from them and we will give them everything we have.”
Sarina Wiegman’s European champions are the overwhelming favourites going into the contest after they won all their three group-stage matches.
Nigeria, on the other hand, could only pick a second-place position behind co-hosts Australia in Group B after they collected five points from their three group-stage matches.
England have only been beaten once in their last 35 matches under head coach Sarina Wiegman, making this contest a daunting task for the nine-time African champions.
