My younger sister, my sport daughter – Onome Ebi describes relationship with Oshoala
There’d been some heavy air around the Super Falcons over the team’s captaincy
Super Falcons veteran defender, Onome Ebi described her relationship with Asisat Oshoala in the FIFA ‘Icons’ documentary as cordial.
Ebi said a young Oshoala had come to meet her to be under her wings when she joined the Super Falcons.
“She came to me and wanted to be close to me because she liked the way I play. I motivate her. I see her as my younger sister, my sport daughter,” Ebi said.
Oshoala has since become a mainstay of the team herself and its most prized asset.
She was captain of the team for nearly three years until a reported change in the team’s captaincy saw 38-year old Ebi take up the band.
The development led to furious tirades from Oshoala as she rained slurs on the veteran defender.
Super Falcons coach, Randy Waldrum and the NFF officials are expected to help both players settle their differences and maintain their harmony as teammates.
