Super Falcons defender, Michelle Alozie has disclosed the inspiration behind her wearing different coloured boots for matches.

The American-born has been one of Nigeria's best players at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, starring for the Super Falcons as they reached the second round of the competition.

According to Alozie, Italy forward Mario Balotelli has been her favourite footballer since her college soccer days.

Balotelli is notoriously known for wearing coloured cleats for his games, something Alozie has adapted in honour of the ex-Manchester City star.

"My favourite player of all-time is Mario Balotelli and he released a cleat with Puma in 2014, I think it was pink and blue and so since my college days I have just always switched up my cleats, just to be fun and give him some shout outs," she said at a post-match presser after Nigeria's goalless draw against Ireland.
