Both sides are under new management at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow afternoon.
Emma Duffy THE REPUBLIC OF Ireland will not be underestimating Northern Ireland in their historic Nations League opener at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow.
“We are expecting a tough challenge tomorrow. They have also qualified for a major tournament. Tanya will drive them forward. They will come at us.” “The pressure is not necessarily on us,” Oxtoby said. “We’re coming here to test ourselves against a team that’s come from a major tournament, where we want to be.“Whilst it’s going to be a fantastic occasion, and there’s going to be a little bit of nerves which is completely normal and natural, there’s no pressure as such from our point of view.”
“It is our first-ever Nations League game and quite fitting that it is our neighbours. I thought Ireland were outstanding in the World Cup, they fought hard and they have world-class players,” she said, with a special nod to Katie McCabe.Alamy Stock Photo Marissa Callaghan.
