Coaches of Bayelsa Queens and Confluence Queens – two of the four teams that will be participating in this year’s Nigeria Women Premier League (NWFL) Super 4 – have charged their players to go and conquer as the competition holds from today to Sunday (November 1-3, 2019) at Agege Stadium, Lagos. The two other participating teams are Rivers Angels and Adamawa Queens.

Bayelsa Queens head coach Moses Aduku has told his players that he wants to see “more bravery” in them as they vie to retain the title they won last year in Lagos.

The former Flying Eagles midfielder noted that the squad seems determined to repeat what they achieved last year, defeating Nasarawa Amazons in the final of the Super 4.

Aduku said: “We have had a lot of training sessions towards the Super 4 and the squad is confident as ever.

“We would be playing against the best sides in the league and it means we have to be at our best. We need to be confident in ourselves and show what we can do on the pitch.

“My players need to be more brave and show the character of a true champion that they are. I am optimistic we will retain the title.”

Aduku also spoke about the team missing their captain Joy Bokiri, who left the team to Turkey during the season: “She will be missed, as she was an integral part of the team before she left for Europe.

“I have no doubt that the team will do better even without her. We played about four games without her and won three. She is indeed a valuable player anyone would want in their team. We are looking forward to winning and retaining what is ours,” he said.

In a related development, Confluence Queens manager, Whyte Ogbonda, thinks his players need to take more risks on the pitch if they are to achieve their main aim of winning the NWFL Super 4.

The former Rivers Angels Manager said that his team is fully prepared for the challenge ahead of them and are hoping to do something unusual by winning the trophy that has eluded the club since its creation.

“It’s always a privilege playing in the Super 4, its special and something every manager wants. We have a great team here and want to go further by doing something special.

“We have to take the games as they come, win our first game, get to the final and do all we can on the pitch to lift the trophy,” he said, adding:

“We have the best players at the Super 4 and everyone of them wants to become champions. The Super 4 is a competition that will be watched by many people, it’s a competition everyone looks forward to.

“I look forward to a special competition, one we can remember for a long while. We will give in our best and expect a positive result.”
