According to the former Real Madrid player, our projection over the years has been to improve the female football.

“Let me add that there’s so much room for them to keep getting better in skills and technicalities.

“We need a formidable female football team in Oyo State, for instance. The female football players in the state are on the right track, and I believe it will keep getting better when the right mechanism  are put in place.

“Have seen some female teams play, and there are some areas that the coaches need to work on with the girls.

“Most  especially, the handling of the ball, touches, passes, and tactical movement of the girls on the pitch.

“There are some female young players that I have seen who are very skillful and if worked on will become much more  better than they are now,” he said.
