Super Falcons Defender, Glory Ogbonna has added her voice to voices of optimism coming from the Super Falcons’ camp as the team perfects touches ahead of their Australia-New Zealand 2023 Women’s World Cup opener against Canada.
The optimistic left back who with brewing confidence is unfaced with the hype around their group opponents registered her displeasure at how undermined the team has been.
In an exclusive interview with PUNCH NEWSPAPER, the 24-year-old expressed how shocked she is at the rate at which many belittle the team without giving them any chances of excelling.
“Yes, we are the lowest ranked in our group but rankings don’t play football these days. That’s why I keep saying that you don’t underrate any team. In the history of football and the World Cup, we’ve seen lower-ranked teams beating higher-ranked teams. So, it doesn’t matter the rank or no rank.”
The former Edo Queens captain however sued for level playing ground for all teams at the Mundial as no one team is guaranteed a seamless run or cannot be defeated rather football is a game of equal sides, most especially.
“What matters is just to go in there and show off the stuff you are made of. You play, ranking isn’t coming to play. It is 11 versus 11. So, it doesn’t matter who is up there or who is lower. We are not after that now. So, we are looking forward to making our country proud come Friday. I think everything is set, it’s two days to go.”
