Ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup that will be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, the coach of Super Falcons Randy Waldrum has tagged FC Barcelona Feminine attacker Asisat Oshoala as a top talent.
The former Rivers Angels forward have become a household name in women’s football across the world following her amazing performance and goal-scoring ability with the Catalan club.
The American coach made the statement during an interview with FIFA media, he praised the Nigerian International and hoped she performed well for the country at the World Cup.
“An extremely talented player, a great person, a true pro. She carries a big burden. She plays for arguably the best club in the world and has done really well for them.
So she’s the big star of our national team, people expect a lot from her and she puts a lot of pressure on herself because she loves Nigeria and she wants Nigeria to be successful on the world stage.
I think people on the outside have difficulty understanding that it’s easier to play for Barcelona than it is for your national team.
She’s with her Barcelona teammates every day, they understand each other’s movements. The national team doesn’t get together very often and you have different players from camp to camp.
But despite the difficulty and the pressure she’s under, she always shows her talent and professionalism with the national team, has a very positive influence on her team-mates, and delivers on the field”, he said.
