''We'll remember positive things from this tournament, a lot of interactions between the players, a lot of pleasure too.

''It's significant for young players to be against countries like Brazil, Portugal or Mexico

''For the World Cup, we need to improve in front of goal, '' Yakubu Maigaji said to the official website of the tournament organizer, festival-foot-espoirs.com.
