| Super Falcon,Kikelomo Ajayi, in aworld cup encounter |
The German and Nigerian press conference at the Commercz Arena Stadium in Frankfurt where the game is going to be played tonight.
The German Coach’s view:
The German coach has a lot of respect for Nigeria and is hoping to match up with Nigeria's skill, speed and strength on the ball when they play them tonight. They plan to play an offensive game and hoping to win with it.
They were not happy about their opening game against Canada and are expecting to have a different game against Nigeria. All players are in good condition and ready to go.
“Nigeria is a very strong team, aggressive, they play very hard and their strikers also very quick with a lot of speed. All teams are playing well at the moment and the level and gap is closing by the day.
Nigeria’s players are good ball handlers and they are hoping their players are able to match up to that as well. An important match for both countries. The German team practiced after the press conference working on drills, penalties, shot taking, keeper training and stretching. Training was light.
.
The Nigerian Coach’s view:
The team is ready and looking forward to the game. Both countries are looking forward to it. It's an important game for Nigeria. Team Lineup hasn't been decided yet.
She says she was sorry about the comments she made as she was misquoted by the NYT Times reporter.."Human Beings have their do's and don't" and refutes the things said about her.
Question on why Cynthia Uwak wasn't selected: She said they haven't seen her for quite a while and went on about her not been in form. Also said the World Cup wasn't for her this time around. Strange responses.

Nigeria forward Perpetua Nkwocha:
We hadn’t planned to defend as much as we did, but nothing is lost yet. We weren’t intimidated by the number of goals France had scored in their preparation games. We’ll now have to attack more against Germany, and we’ll also have to play more as a team and talk to each other more on the pitch.
France coach Bruno Bini:
I told the girls we had three finals to win in this group, so we’ve already won one of them. But I have to say that everyone else will have trouble against Nigeria – they’re a great side. I was really impressed, especially by their defensive midfielders. They surprised me after what I’d seen of their preparation games on video.
France midfielder Louisa Necib:
Although it was only 1-0, I think this win was very important, as the opening matches in competitions always are. It’ll give us maximum confidence for what lies ahead. I felt very good in this game and the comparisons with [Zinedine] Zidane make me very happy. I don’t think they can cause me any harm because I’ve been used to them since I was very young.
