Super Falcons Assistant Coach Maureen Mmadu has commended the team that won the WAFU Wonen Championship in Abidjan Cote d’iviore, describing them as true Champions, Bestchoicesports.com.ng can report authoritatively.

The excited former International who still holds the record of centurial appearance for the Super Falcons said the team showed the mentality of champions and displayed it all through the tournament. ” You always see the quality in the girls. Even when they are down, they continued to push and remain focused. That is the mentality and qualities of real champions. I am happy for the girls, I am happy for Nigerians”.

Continuing, Mmadu described the WAFU cup as a birthday gift to her, which the girls promised to give her, and they did exactly that “this is my birthday month, I asked the girls to give me a birthday gift, and they promised to win the trophy for me, and they did that. I am so happy, I am proud of them”.

She remains optimistic that the girls should be able to translate that mentality to the FIFA Women World cup holding in France later in June, while commending the NFF for the support given to the team so far . “I have said it severally that all through my years in the National team, we have not had it so good. The preparation and support from the NFF have been wonderful and we have no option than to reciprocate fully at the World cup by doing well” she concluded.
