Welcome back to Her Side of the Scoreboard, I am Chidinma Okafor. As a midfielder I had one job in a penalty shootout, which was to walk to the halfway line and not look at the goalkeeper. Today I look at the goalkeeper. My guest has stood in goal for Nigeria in a shootout with the whole stadium watching her and nobody else. We talk about the sixty seconds before the whistle, what she reads in a striker's hips and planted foot, the analyst's notes taped to her water bottle, and the single save that took her from a bench in Lagos to a contract in Europe. She is also very honest about guessing wrong and the week that follows. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts. This one is personal.
