Asisat Oshoala speaks on bad preparations and how it almost cost Nigeria a 9th AWCON title on Saturday

Ghanaian journalist Akosua Addai Amoo asked Asisat Oshoala about the importance of proper preparation and this was her reply:

Of course it’s very important. It’s one of the things that actually affected us in this tournament. You could see a lot of countries that we could beat normally, like South Africa, I don’t think that they have a team that can actually stand the Super Falcons if we actually prepared very well, if we played series of games before the tournament.

But, I mean, with bad preparation, I mean, we were still able to retain the trophy. It just shows the team spirit, the hunger from the girls and how much the team wanted to succeed, even without (proper preparation).
