Bayelsa United striker, Gift Monday, is disappointed at her exclusion from the Super Falcons squad for a two-week intensive training program in Morocco next month but was quick to add that the snub shows she has a lot of work to do to get an invitation to the team, The PUNCH reports.
Falcons coach Randy Waldrum called up 32 players to the camp of the Falcons training camp in Morocco ahead of the WAFCON is billed to hold from July 2 to 23 in the same country.
The training camp in Morocco starts on June 18.
Monday single-handedly led Bayelsa Queens to the Nigerian Women’s Football League Premiership title at the recent Super Six tournament. She also won the top scorer award with a massive 12 goals, the Most Valuable Player and the Woman of the Match in the last day clash against Nasarawa Amazons.
Speaking with The PUNCH on her omission from the squad, Monday said,” Honestly, I was not happy about and that’s the truth.
“But that does not make me lose my hopes about making the team. It just shows that I have to do more to get into the team. I will keep supporting the team and I pray they defend their title in Morocco.
On her heroics at the just concluded NWFL Premiership Super Six, Monday said, “I feel very delighted winning the awards I won but particularly helping my team win the Super Six tournament. Sincerely, all that happened there made me really happy. Hopefully, these performances land me my dream move to Europe in the summer.”
When asked if she had offers, he replied,” there are some but I would like to stay quiet on that for now.”
