“We played against a formidable and good side who were better on the field. Although I did not come with some of our key players to play this friendly match. My boys tried their best but their best was not enough to get the victory. Prince Kazeem Eletu are equally a good side, very balanced team and they deserved the victory. I congratulate their coaching crew for the job well done,” he said.

“It was not a bad match for us. What I saw in the match was a clear indication that my boys played to instructions. By and large I still need to work on some grey areas where I feel it is necessary. I am not looking at result but I am focusing on the development of the players,” he said.
