Edo Queens Captain, Deborah Odiagbe, has stressed that no match in the Nigeria top flight is easy, following her remarkable run of form in Edo Queens squad.
The energetic pretty looking player has played a significant role in Edo Queens successes since joining the club three seasons ago. She has also been enjoying a prolific run in the league.
Odiagbe, who is emerging as one of the top defenders in the NWFL domestic league, expressed optimism that nothing will stop her team from flying its flag at the forthcoming Super Six.
According to her: “I think we are on the right track. We have played 10 matches and loss only two. We are set and fully prepared to face any team. This is a critical stage of the league, we are very focused and committed.
“This is not the time to joke. Every team in the race want to be at the Super Six. For Edo Queens I will say that our spirit is already at the Super Six because I know that nothing will stop us.
“I’m so happy with our performances. There is a great improvement in each game. This is our season to shine. It is being a superb and fantastic outings for us. We started very well, we are also going to end the season on a good note.
“Edo Queens have a target. We are working very hard to win the league and fly Nigeria colour at continental scene. I know by the special grace of God Edo Queens will get there.”
Focusing on the match with Heartland Queens, she stressed: “We are good to go. It is going to be a tough match but we are equal to the task. We are going there to get our three points.
“I think it’s about mindset. I think it’s about mentality in the game. It’s about belief. It’s about going into that game saying we are meant to be here, play, win and smile back to Benin singing victory songs.”
As the Moses Aduku led side take a long trip to Owerri, to face Heartland Queens on Wednesday, March 18th, at the Dan Anyiam Stadium Owerri, for Match Day 11, the Benin based ladies are confident and optimistic of three points.
They are not scared of the Hope Uzodima landladies. It is going to be a tough fight no doubt but at the end of regulation time Edo Queens will emerge victorious.
Both teams have confronted each other a number of times and Edo Queens have always had the upper hand. Yes agreed they are no pushover, but with the current form of the Benin Queens, and with just few matches to go before the prestigious Super Six showdown, it will be difficult for any team to stop the Senator Monday Okpebholo girls.
