Super Falcons defender Ashleigh Plumptre has said the team is up for battle against the Copper Queens of Zambia, Prompt News reports.
Friday’s encounter will hold at the Labri Zaouli Stadium, Casablanca.
Plumptre stated that the players are in good spirit after a few days rest.
“Preparations are going well. Compared to the group stage, we have a little bit more time between games so that has put us in a good position,” the centre-back told a press conference on Thursday.
” We’ve been on the training field the last two days and we’re training again today. Everybody is in really good spirits. The preparation is going well and overall the atmosphere in the camp is calm but exciting at the same time.”
Zambia have caught with the eye with their superb attacking style of play.
Many pundits have labelled the Copper Queens favourites going into game.
Plumptre however said they will find a way of neutralising their opponent.
“Obviously we know that Zambia have really good attacking threats and we respect that, and we’re prepared for that. But we don’t prepare for two players, we prepare for Zambia as a whole team, ” she declared.
“We know that if you get consumed with two players, they can have threats that come from different aspects, which is, I think, the same for us as well.”
