Salisu Yusuf: Nasarawa United Players Are Adapting To My Philosophy

Head Coach of Nasarawa United, Salisu Yusuf has said his players are adapting to his philosophy of football following the North Central derby victory, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

In a nail-biting Nigeria Premier League match-day 33 fixture at the Lafia City Stadium on Sunday evening, the Solid Miners emerged victorious over their North Central Zonal neighbours, Plateau United, with a 3-2 win, claiming regional bragging rights and bolstering their fight against relegation.

Yusuf said: "We are happy for the win. We worked so hard to see that we won the game. I am really happy with the boys. They have done so well. They are imprinting all we teach them in our training, and I believe they are adapting quickly.

"I am not surprised that we scored three goals in this game, even though we lost momentary concentration toward the latter stages of the game, which is dangerous. But this is football; it happens sometimes.

"For now, our focus is on the President Federation's Cup Round of 16 tie against Bayelsa United on Wednesday, and after that, we could pay attention to the league's game against Bendel Insurance in Benin. We approach each game at a time, and we are ready for the challenge."

The Solid Miners are now 14th on the table with 42 points, with their beaten opponents, Plateau United, sharing the same points but only ahead on goal difference.

The Solid Miners will next face Bendel Insurance in Benin City, Edo State, on match-day 34.

But before then, they will shift focus to the President Federation's Cup Round of 16 clash against fellow Premiership side Bayelsa United on Wednesday, 16th April 2025, at the Prince Abubakar Audu University Stadium, Anyigba, Kogi State.
