French coach Laurent Boandei said his team would not make the mistake of underrating the Super Falcons when clash on Saturday in their international friendly in Angers, France.
Baoandei is preparing his team for the UEFA Women’s Euro Championship in Switzerland next year, likewise the Super Falcons who would be playing the Africa Women Cup of Nations July 2025.
“Nigeria were at the Olympics, where Spain only won 1-0 against them, but also at the World Cup, where they lost in the round of 16 against England, 0-0, 2-4 on penalties. They are a solid team, with powerful and fast players.,” Bonadei told L’Equipe.
“It is a tough team block to maneuver. We will have to attack them while being vigilant on transitions. We must take advantage of their imbalances, also, on counter-pressing.”
Midfielder Sandie Toletti, also added: “I’ve played alongside players in Spain. It will be a fight; they are very physical. They play in the biggest European clubs or in the United States. It will be tough.”
