Super Eagles Coach, Salisu Yusuf, on Tuesday commended his boys for their superlative performance in spite of their 3-2 loss to Athletico Madrid.
The friendly match was played at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
Yusuf said that although his team played very well, Atletico Madrid showed maturity and experience, adding that the two goals conceded by his team were cheap.
“We played compact football, they have maturity and were more experienced than us.
“We are going to develop the team to the next level. They played against the best,” he said.
He said with such performance, the Eagles team B could metamorphose into dependable team for the future.
The Super Eagles Captain, Musa Mohammed, said they were happy to trade tackles with the Spanish premier league giants.
Mohammed also told NAN that they played according to instructions.
Goals from Angel Correa, Fernando Torres and Borja Garces denied the Super Eagles B side a victory in the entertaining match.
The Super Eagles scored two quality goals through Kelechi Nwakali (30th minute) and second half substitute Usman Mohammed.
