Top scorer in the African Women Championship, Desire Oparanozie has promised to score more goals and propel the Super Facons to a respectable finish at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.

Oparanozie who led charge to Nigeria’s record 7th African title in Namibia said her goals will come in torrents in Canada.

“”Expect good performance from the team, expect me scoring in every game and expect that as a team we exceed all our previous performances.”

The France based player said as a striker, she always felt awful if she failed to score in a match. “It is always a delight to score goals. In Canada, I am going to score goals because that is my main task in the team.”

She was happy Nigeria reclaimed the AWC trophy, which is Oparanozie’s second continental title. “It is my second title and it will boost my CV and attract more teams to me.”

More than being a personal glory, Oparanozie said the Falcons deserved special praise for their efforts and sacrifice. “They are all great players who have shown a lot of patriotism. They deserve the support of all,” Oparanozie said.

Although the fleet-footed striker would not predict how long the Falcons can hold on to the trophy, she declared that having dominated the continent for so long, it won’t be easy for any team to shove them aside.

“We have been there and are still there for now. In present form, we are number one in Africa and we, as players will do our best to keep being number one in Africa,” she said.
