Plumptre Says Super Falcons Are Fully Ready to Face Zambia in the WAFCON
Ashleigh Plumptre has made it clear that the Super Falcons are ready for a tough fight against Zambia’s Copper Queens in the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash set for Friday in Casablanca.
Zambia head into the match as one of the tournament’s top-scoring teams, having netted six goals so far. Their forwards, Barbara Banda and Racheal Kundananji, have been standout performers, using their speed and strength to trouble defenses throughout the competition.
Despite the challenge ahead, Plumptre isn’t fazed. Speaking at a press conference, the Nigerian defender acknowledged the strength of Zambia’s attack but stressed that the Super Falcons are prepared to face the team as a whole, not just two players.
“We respect Zambia’s attacking quality, and we know they’ve got dangerous players,” she said. “But our game plan isn’t about shutting down individuals—it’s about being ready for everything they bring as a team.” Plumptre, who plays her club football with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, emphasized that the Falcons have studied their opponents well and are focused on reaching the semifinals.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
