Asisat Oshoala has stated that she will not be under any pressure, when the Women’s World Cup kicks off in Canada next month.
The Super Falcons’ forward, who is the current African Female Footballer of the Year, explained that whatever individual award she picked up at last year’s U-20 tournament, will count for nothing.
According to her, she is ready to prove herself afresh and show the world that her performance in 2014 was not a fluke.
“The first stage of the Olympics qualifier is gone and I think we have to look forward to the next competition which is the senior World Cup. We have few weeks to prepare and focus on the task at hand,” she said.
“I am not under any pressure because that was a junior competition and this is a senior competition. Definitely, it is a different ball game but what I will say is that I will go to Canada again and give my best and prove that I am a good player and that what happened in 2014 was not a fluke. I have to make sure I give the fans a lot of reason to smile in Nigeria
“Winning the MVP and highest goal scorer award at the forthcoming World Cup are secondary achievements but the primary aim is to go there and get the trophy. That is the primary thing; so, whatever comes after that is the secondary achievement”.
