Amos Adamu urges Nigerians to be proud of Dream Team VI

Former Director-General of the defunct National Sports Commission, Amos Adamu, has urged Nigerians not to be disappointed with the Dream Team VI over their loss to Germany.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the national U-23 team on Wednesday lost 0-2 to their German counterparts in the semi-finals of the football event of the ongoing Rio Olympics.

“Nigerians should be proud of these boys, in the face of the hostility they encountered; they performed better than my expectations.

“I never thought they would qualify from the group stage talk less of getting to the semi-finals, they gave their all as you can see in their matches.

“They played against a more technically inclined Germany, the better side won.

“In sports, you win some, you lose some; I’m so proud of them because irrespective of the drama surrounding their stay in Rio they kept together.

“I believe we can get the bronze medal with God and luck on our side.

“I have never seen a team so focused as this team, I salute the courage of the players, they were not disgraced, they fought gallantly,” Adamu a former member of FIFA Executive board said.
