“We will try our best to do something important for Nigeria and ourselves. We want to go win and keep a clean sheet.”

On her level of patriotism to her country, she believes the ultimate is serving Nigeria.

“It’s about donning the national colours and doing well. My commitment to being a faithful Nigerian is always my priority,” Yetunde said.

The 17-year-old player, also congratulated her soccer idol, Cristiano Ronaldo on his recognition as the world best player.

“I was so happy when my role model (Cristiano Ronaldo) won the FIFA Ballon D’Or, he fully deserves the honour.

On her targets for Canada 2014, the skillful forward preffered to let God direct her footsteps.

“It’s about getting to Canada, having patience and hoping the goals will come at the right time. I believe God will always show His mercies in my life,” the sharp shooter said.
