France
Women National football team head coach, Corinne Diacre has predicted a
tough battle for her side when they come up against the Super Falcons
of Nigeria in their last group game at the FIFA Women’s World Cup next
week Monday.
The hosts defeated Norway 2-1 in Nice on Wednesday to maintain their perfect start to the competition.
France
top Group A with six points from two games – three ahead of
second-placed Norway and third-placed Nigeria – with one group game left
against Nigeria on Monday.
”I am going to relax, think about it
tomorrow, then we will reflect on things – what we can do, who may stay
on the bench because we did have some injuries and let them
recover,”Diacre told reporters after her side victory against the
Norwegians.
”We are going to have to think about this long and hard.
”Norway
gave us a hard time, Nigeria will probably do the same. For the time
being, now we are just going to stay put and fight hard to win that
match against Nigeria”.
The France versus Nigeria game will be played at the Roazhon Park, Rennes. Kick-off is 8pm Nigerian time.
