“Women Football Is Progressing”

After the first victory against Mali how prepared are you for the second match today against Algeria?

It is left for us to see our errors in the first match and try to correct them so as to have a good performance in the second match today. Even though we have one victory we will continue to work hard to ensure the best result in the next match. When we watched the match against the Black Queens of Ghana, we saw that they are now physically strong. That means we must have respect for that team.

Do you master the game of the Algerians?

Certainly, we have never confronted them but we have seen them play. To say master the game we cannot master whosoever in the world of football but we have an idea of what is ahead of us and I would wish that they are the ones to master what we are going to offer them. I think they are a team that should be stronger than us. We saw them play the other day they have progressed enormously. This is their first participation in the final phase of the competition and I think that we will do everything to win the match and play the third match which will be a difficult one. I think they will give their best so that they can win. Also, when we watch the opening match it was impressive. That means women football is progressing.
