According to Nikkan Sports, she said, "Of course we want to score goals through attack, but if we can get on the right foot, that can change the situation.
"Aggression in defence is one of our strengths. They're not the type to build up plays, so we need to find an opening up front."

After close losses to Brazil and Spain, the Super Falcons are one of four teams in the competition without a point.
