Super Falcons get match reader and fitness trainer
Ahead of this year’s Women’s World Cup in France, Super Falcons Coach Thomas Dernneby has requested and gotten the approval Nigeria football Federation to engage two more technical staff, fitness trainer and match reader.
It was gathered that SA duo were part of the team’s technical crew to the just ended Cyprus cup where Falcons finished in the 7th place.
The request to engage the two technical hands was actually made shortly after the victory of the team for the 9th time at the African women Nations Cup in Ghana.
It was also learnt that the decision to beef up is not unconnected with reactions that followed the team’s overall performance at the 2019 AFCON.
The team however did not fail to equally make mincemeat of some opponents like their 3-0 defeat of Thailand to clinch the 7th place in Cyprus.
Engagement of match reader some say should be able to help the team hold their own especially when they are comfortably leading an opponent.
A case in point was the match between Falcons and Slovakia at the Cyprus meet where they team surrendered a 3-0 lead in the first half to eventually end the match winning by 4-3 after the Slovakians cancelled three goals in nine minutes.
Falcons have been drawn at the world cup which holds in June against hosts France, South Korea and Norway.
