Nigeria Hero Maureen Mmadu Does Not Want History To Repeat Itself; Falconets Advised Not To Lose Concentration

Falcons legend Maureen Mmadu has advised Nigeria&rsquo;s Under 20 Women&rsquo;s National Team not to take their foot off the pedal against Germany tomorrow when both countries face off in the final of the Fifa Under 20s.<br /><br />Apart from being a successful coach with Norwegian club Avaldsnes Idrettsla, Mmadu&rsquo;s pronouncements must be taken seriously as she took to the pitch 10 years ago when the Olympic Team threw away a one - goal lead, losing 2 - 1 to Germany in the quarterfinals. <br /><br />&ldquo;In 2004, we played well but lost concentration. The Germans are strong, they run a lot and they never give up but our girls can use their physique and tactics to outwit them.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll advice the Falconets not to lose concentration. They have to fight till the final whistle and play the game Nigeria is known for.<br /><br />&ldquo;They should approach the game and forget about the history of Germany in Women&rsquo;s Football, &rdquo; says Maureen Mmadu to<b> allnigeriasoccer.com.</b><br /><br />In 2004, the European powerhouse scored two late goals, with the first coming in the 76th minute before Conny Pohlers netted the match winner five minutes later.<br /><br />Calling a spade a spade, Nigeria lost concentration and Mmadu does not want a repeat of that incident. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
