Former coach of the Super Falcons, Godwin Izilein, says the Falconets would go far in the U-20 Women World Cup in Costa Rica if they maintain the same discipline that saw them win their two matches.

In an interview on Wednesday in Calabar, Izilein, who said he had been impressed with the team’s performance so far, said the girls had shown a lot of improvement in their game.

“You could see an element of improvement in their play, and they have also shown discipline that have made them win two matches so far, “ he said.

The former Falcons’ handler called for continuity and gradual integration of some players into the senior women’s team.

“The NFF must encourage these girls by making sure nothing distracts them; give them anything due to them without asking.

“As for the coaches, they must be trained and retrained if we are to keep getting the best out of these girls,” he stated.

Izilein advised the girls to take their chances and find their way around the taller Canadian girls to win their last group match.

“Canadians are tall, and we need to keep possession of the ball and ensure accurate passes. Great goals are scored from pullouts,” he said.

The Falconets won their two opening group matches by defeating France and South Korea by the same scoreline,1-0.

They will play their last group C match in the early hours of Thursday.
