NI Women's Football Team Ready to Bounce Back Against Romania

The Northern Ireland women's football team is eager to get back on the pitch and claim a victory against Romania in the Nations League.

The Northern Ireland women's football team is determined to make amends for their 1-1 draw against Romania in Bucharest on Friday night. The team is hungry to get back out there and claim a victory at Windsor Park on Tuesday. Captain Simone Magill believes that the quick turnaround and playing at home will suit her side, who are out to claim a victory after a frustrating result in the previous game. 'Everyone is hungry to get back out there and it's great we are playing them so soon again,' she said. The Birmingham City striker played in a deeper role and scored twice in the 3-2 win against Bosnia-Herzegovina in the last window. She reverted to a more familiar central striker role against Romania, but continued to drop deep to start attacks, something she says she has been working on. 'In the last year I've started to do that both here for Northern Ireland and for club, it is just adding a bit more experience in areas where we have lost in recent years with having younger players coming in,' Magill added. 'It is a certainly an area of my game I've been trying to adapt to, so it provides Tanya [Oxtoby] with another option.'
