PARIS 2024: ‘BRAZIL STAR, ADRIANA EXPECTS TOUGH TEST AGAINST SUPER FALCONS
Brazil forward Adriana Leal da Silva says it is important for the team to start their campaign at the 2024 Olympic Games with a win against Nigeria.
The two countries will clash at the Stade Bordeaux on Thursday.
The Super Falcons caught the eye with their impressive performance at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
The West Africans are expected to hold their own in a tough group that also has world champions Spain and Japan.
Adriana is aware of Randy Waldrum’s side pedigree and warned they must be at their best to get maximum points from the game.
“This first game is crucial. In fact, it will always be like this. In any case, we need to have a lot of concentration and focus for this debut. And take it step by step,” the Orlando Pride striker said following the team’s arrival in Bordeaux.
The South Americans will be led by veteran midfielder Marta in Paris.
