WAFCON 2024: They made us feel losers against Zambia -Plumpre

Ashleight Plumptre has said that the Super Falcons resembled the helpless that enter the quarterfinal clash of the Women’s Cup in Africa on Friday (Wafcon) with Zambia.

There were doubts that the Super Falcons could overcome copper queens, especially as they had done in their ranks, the lethal duo Barbara Banda and Rocheal Kundanji.

But all doubts about whether African champions could resist Zambia’s fire power were annulled when the Super Falcons came out 5-0 victories.

In statements to the Nigerian journalist Victor Adela in Morocco, Plumptre said that Falcons were not given a chance in the contest.

“I always enjoy any game that play with this team, to be honest, but I think that because there were so many things in this case, some people thought we would fight, and others even told us, making us feel like losers too.

“I think we can allow ourselves to celebrate for a day. The girls have been dancing, but I feel really good,” said Leicester City defender Victor Adelala.

“I am happy with the performance. Obviously, as a defender, you like to have clean sheets, and maintain a clean sheet against a team like Zambia was a big problem for us.

“Also having five different scorers was good for us too. I was very happy for Tosin [Demehin] I do [Ohale]Maybe because defenders do not always get that credit. Both are excellent leaders in their own right. “

β€œIt was nice to go out with a victory in the statement, and that will give us a lot of confidence in the semifinal.

“People will always doubt, but we have to remember that the teams we played before this game respected us and played in a low block, which makes it difficult for us to get goals.”

“Zambia is a bit more offensive, which allowed us
