Former Super Falcons head coach, Edwin Okon has said his only headache is the team’s defence as they face the hosts, the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon today in the final of the 10th Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON).
The match holds at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium, Yaounde.
Okon said strict adherence to instructions of the coaches by the reigning champions will greatly help them to overcome the stubborn Indomitable Lionesses.
“The Cameroon versus Nigeria Awcon final is going to be explosive, it’s a good test as well as evenly matched.
“Our problem is defence and I hope they will be alert 100 per cent to withstand the attacking and robust foray of the Cameroonians.
“The Falcons best test match in the championship was the group’s clash against the Black Queens of Ghana as I never considered Banyana Banyana of South Africa a serious threat.
“Against the Cameroonians only strict adherence to instruction by the players will be of immense help to unlock and unsettle the Lionesses.
“It will be too risky for the players to decide on the field of play to act on their own whims and caprices, pushing the coaches’ instructions to the background.
“I sincerely hope and pray that mother luck will smile on us to once again overcome the Cameroonians,” the Rivers Angels head coach told supersport.com.
Okon was in charge when the Falcons defeated the Lionesses 2-0 in the final of the 2014 AWCON at the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windhoek, Namibia.
