Brighton target 'massive' win on return to the Amex as Leicester await
Brighton goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie says Amex fixture will be 'a dream come true', as Albion look to land their first league victory in five matches on Sunday.
The Seagulls have recently endured a testing run of fixtures including away trips to Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Liverpool.
While the side suffered a 1-0 defeat to both North London outfits, Brighton salvaged a point in Merseyside as winger Rosa Kafaji struck home a 93rd-minute equaliser.
The Seagulls subsequently sit eighth in the Women’s Super League (WSL) table, and will hope to get back to winning ways when they host ninth-placed Leicester at the Amex this Sunday (midday).
Brighton goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie is especially looking forward to the fixture, having yet to play at the Amex after joining the side from Paris FC in July.
“I can’t wait to play there. It’s going to be a dream come true, just like a magical moment.”
“Some of the players have told me a bit about the Amex but I don’t want to hear much, I just want to experience it for myself! I want it to be a surprise.”
Seagulls defender Charlize Rule also spoke to Sussex World’s Annabel Bassett, reflecting on the side’s tough run of results and the threat the Foxes will pose.
“I think we’ve maybe been a bit unlucky with results not going our way so this game against Leicester is really important.
“They’ll be a very transitional team and we have to be set up right for that. They’ve got pace up front so it will be important to stop their threats, but also focus on ourselves and play our football.
“We really want to do everything to get the three points in front of the fans, and being at the Amex will be the perfect stage to do that."
On the impact the supporters have on the team, Rule added: “The fans have been incredible this season travelling to away games. In Liverpool there were a lot of them so it has been amazing.
“Hopefully the Amex can hold even more of them and give us that extra edge.”
