Lack Of Bite In Attack Worries Nigeria Coach
In his post-match comments, Nigeria U17 coach Bala Nikyu admitted that his side lacked bite in attack during Tuesday’s Fifa U-17 Women’s World Cup match with England’s Lionesses. <br /><br />Despite having 32 attempts, the attack led by Rasheedat Ajibade and Mercy Omokwo got cold feet when it mattered most and failed to score for the second game in a row. <br /><br />“We performed well, but in football dominating the game and winning individual accolades don’t count. What matters is to score and to win. I think we did well in attack, ” Nikyu told fifa.com.<br /><br />“We played a defensive game against Brazil and we lost because we made a few mistakes that we’ve sorted out now. <br /><br />“We were more adventurous today but there are still a few things we need to iron out before we take on Korea DPR. ”<br /><br />The Flamingoes destiny is still in their own hands, nonetheless, with a 2-0 win over North Korea on Saturday guaranteeing them a quarterfinal spot for the fourth straight tournament.<br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br /><br />Photo Credit : thenff.com<br />
