Goalkeeper Christy Ohiaeriaku is targeting a good start to the season for Osun Babes, even if they begin the 2016/17 Nigeria Women Premier League (NWPL) with a trip to Nasarawa Amazons.
The Omoluabi Queens open their top tier campaign at the Lafia City Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.
Talented Ohiaeriaku understands the task at hand, but also believes she knows what her teammates must do in order to try to cause am upset in the capital city of Nasarawa State.
“We know when we prepare for this game that we will be behind the ball,” she told Nwfl.com.ng.
“We have to be together and when we get it we have to move fast. We want to play well and to get something, it will be difficult but we will try.
“It is the same to play them at any time of the year, you’re going to face them during the season and it will be the same [in Week 1]. We must try to earn a good result and to stay in the game.
“Currently the atmosphere here is different and that added pressure is nice, whilst we are also up against a a great team.”
Optimism is high once again going into the new season, with Ohiaeriaku notably having played well in pre-season.
“You have to forget pre-season because they are just friendlies and you don’t get any points or anything else.
“We have to focus on the League which is where you play for points and we are already doing so.
“If you are good in pre-season, you should get better in the campaign
