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 Center 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."

Valencia coach, Ayestaran, said he has not particularly followed developments in the NPFL but he has some general knowledge about Nigerian football and believes the match against the Nigerian league All-Star will help his club in their build up to the season opener just a few days ahead.
