Black Maidens captain Seidatu Wahab says the team is focused on tomorrow’s match against Niger and will not underrate any opponent at the WAFU B U-17 Girls Cup.
Reflecting on the team’s performance so far, Wahab said Ghana will stick to its game plan and follow the coaches’ instructions.
“From what we saw when they played against Togo and scored many goals, we are still not underrating them. We will just play our normal game, go onto the field, listen to our coaches, and do what we have been doing,” she said.
The captain admitted that the defeat to Nigeria was a tough lesson for the side.
“The game against Nigeria was a tough one. As captain, I think we need to take our chances seriously. We were punished, we were really punished,” she said.
Wahab said the team is now using that experience as motivation as they continue preparations for the upcoming FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
“So we are going into tomorrow’s game for 90 minutes and we are going to use it [as preparation].”
Ghana will face Niger in their final Group A game as the Black Maidens look to secure a place in the next stage of the competition.
