Following his amiable contributions to the team, FC Porto manager Sergio Conceicao has heaped praises on injured Nigeria's Super Eagles defender Zaidu Sanusi, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Portuguese champions on Tuesday defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 to proceed into the knockout round of the Champions League.

The Nigeria international was unable to finish the game due to an injury he sustained in the 53rd minute.

"We had the idea of passing a message to Zaidu and the assist came from him, he's been criticised for not being as gifted as so many people think he should be, but he has other fantastic things.

" If he had good technics people wish he had, he would play for the best club in the world, which for me is FC Porto, but not in terms of money.

"The moment of the match is how the goal came, thanks to his good technique, Zaidu has kept improving", he said.

The Nigerian defender is set to miss the club game this weekend as his level of injury is yet to be determined.
