“I need to have the same attitude and mentality for every game. To always treat every game the same,” she told the club’s official website.
“At the end of the day, we want to win. I always have the mentality to give your best on the field, and work as hard as you can, and let everything work out.”

Okoronkwo is SF main striker Magudu must never ignore her in place of Onumonu if he wants to win the WAFCON. A word is enough for the wise because I see interferences to make Onumonu the NO9 even though she can’t convert most of her chances nor shoot the ball properly as a 9. The only thing I find in her game is hold up play and that is only a basic tool that any striker can enact. Okoronkwo has proven to be a great finisher yet gets ignored recently. Magudu is a decent coach and he must not allow external interference in his job if he must succeed.
