NPFL All-Star ready for Valencia-Yusuf

Technical Adviser of the Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL All-Star, Salisu Yusuf, has assured that the players will give a good representation of Nigeria as they file out against Valencia CF on Wednesday to kick-start action in their tour of the Spanish LaLiga.

Yusuf spoke at a press conference at the Valencia FC Media Centre alongside Valencia coach, Pako Ayestaran shortly after the NPFL All-Star concluded their morning training session at the Valencia FC Cuitat Esportiva.

“We know that Valencia is a big club in a big league. We have seen their high standard facilities and good level of organisation but we are here to give a good account of ourselves and to promote our country and our football. We will give Valencia a good match. We know their style of play. We know they like to attack and they like to win and we are ready for them”, Yusuf added.

Valencia CF coach, Ayestaran, said: “I have not particularly followed the evolvement of the Nigerian league. I have worked abroad for some time but perhaps I just concentrated on my job. However, I know that Nigeria football is strong on attack and the players are aggressive and strong. We are building up now to the opening of the season with several warm-up games and the match against the NPFL All-Star will add to our preparation for season opener.”
