Barcelona coach Lius Cortes has expressed confidence in Super Eagles captain Asisat Oshoala despite not scoring in her last two games.
According to Cortes, the quality Oshoala brings to the team goes beyond scoring of goals.
Cortes said this while responding to questions from journalists on Oshoala’s inability to score in recent matches.
The Catalan manager was full of praise for the contribution of the Nigerian in his team’s flying start to the season
“Asisat (Oshoala) gives us a lot and sometimes that work is not flashy,” Cortes told the media.

“Asisat didn’t score (against Levante) and she didn’t create chances but for us, as coaches, value many more things.
“Maybe, thanks to Asisat, Caroline (Graham Hansen) could shoot from the far post in the first goal.
“Also, thanks to Asisat, in Caro’s transition when she is dribbling, Asisat creates space so Caro can continue dribbling and receive the penalty.
“Those are movements without the ball that maybe, as fans, I understand a lot of times have little value.
“As (the media), I hope you can see the importance of them. And as a coach I highly value them.”
The Nigeria international shone in preseason, scoring eight goals in five games but haven’t been scoring as expected in Barcelona Femini’s recent matches.
