CHIAMAKA NNADOZIE- A GOALKEEPER ON ANOTHER LEVEL OF QUALITIES AND GREATNESS
By Micheal Obasi
Since she made her debut for the Super Falcons of Nigeria at the age of 19 in 2019 at the WAFU tournament, Chiamaka Nnadozie has not looked back on cementing her name as Nigeria’s best ever Goalkeeper.
Though Nigeria has never lacked good goalkeepers from the days of Anne Chiejine to the time of Precious Dede but Nnadozie’ qualities is definitely raising the bar to another level.
Since 2019 , the Paris FC of France shot stopper has been an undisputed number one for Nigeria and she is also the number one for her club, displaying stellar performances week in , week out.
The Former Rivers Angel player had his 22nd cap for the Super Falcons against Algeria in an international friendly against Algeria on Saturday in Ikenne, Ogun State.
It was another clean sheet for Nnadozie as the Falcons defeated their opponents 2-0, with Rasheedat Ajibade scoring both goals.
The 23 year old shot stopper is now aiming for another clean sheet when the falcons take on the Algerians again on Tuesday at the Mobolaji Johnson stadium, in Lagos.
” For me I am always very happy to keep clean sheets because as goalkeepers that is one thing we aim for in every game”.
” It’s not always not easy to not concede goals as a goalkeeper so when you manage to shot the opponents from seeing the back of the net for ninety minutes is always a special delight “.
” I still have a long way to go, to achieving all my career targets but I am grateful for where I am now and I am definitely working hard to achieve more for both club and Country “.
The clean sheet against Algeria was Nnadozie ‘s second back to back clean sheet because she was also flawless for her club, Paris FC in her last game before joining the national team camp.
She even had the best rating for her club of 8.9 in the goalless draw against french Women Football giants Lyon.
In the French women league this season , Nnadozie has only conceded three goals from five matches with her club third on the table behind PSG and Lyon.
Another unique aspect of her game that is very rare, is her penalty goalities. She is unarguably one of the best penalty goalkeepers in the women’s game.
She saved a crucial Penalty for Nigeria at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World against Canada and she has gone ahead to do same for her club both in the league and the Women’s Uefa Champions League.
It is no surprise that top European women clubs are keenly eyeing the former Nigeria junior International for a big transfer and her days with Paris FC are definitely numbered.
