Under-17: Harmony Chidi names Osimhen, four other football athletes she wants to be better than
Nigeria’s Under-17 captain, Harmony Chidi, has identified five renowned football players whom she aspires to surpass in her career. In an interview with BBC Pidgin, Chidi named Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, along with Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Raphinha, and Asisat Oshoala as her benchmarks for success.
Chidi expressed her ambition, stating, “I have like five players that I dream to be better than: Osimhen, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Raphinha, and Asisat Oshoala. I want to be greater than them.”
Her aspirations come on the heels of Nigeria’s historic victory at the U-17 Women’s World Cup, where the national team defeated Japan 2-1 in the final on November 7. Goals from Awawu Bashiru and Oluebube Umejiaku secured this landmark win, making Nigeria the first African nation to claim the U-17 Women’s World Cup title.
Having played a key role in leading her team to this achievement, Chidi is focused on elevating her individual performance to new heights in the world of football.
