Northern Ireland coach Michael O’Neill says he has “a lot of positive. Friday draw 1-1 with Switzerland.
Ishaq Price made a great initial game before Vincent Seero equalized in the middle of the first half.
Both teams had a chance to beat but the draw was a fair result because both teams introduced young people on the bench on the bench.
“We were extremely disappointed in losing it and we were a little hopeless we didn’t win Nick,” O’Neill told the BBC Sport.
Northern Ireland has chosen to play friendly with Switzerland and Sweden, both of which are Pot One, while trying to build World Cup qualifiers in September.
O’Neill’s young club have taken many steps over the past 12 months to face a Swiss club that was fined in Euro quarter-finals in the quarter-finals last summer.
It was a bright start from Northern Ireland when Price gathered home from the edge of the area, but Switzerland equalized when Seero was left without signs to return home from a corner.
Price, Le Bonis and Jamie Donley, the first player, had a chance to win, but Ounel was happy with his players’ attempts at a constant European club.
“I think we have Switzerland well,” he said. “We were a little, for me, passive sometimes but we talked about it throughout the game.
“You always want your team to be a little better with the ball and I think there is always a place to improve,” he said.
But in general, if you look at the team’s experience, I think the team that is finished eight players, 21 years old and younger, is very young and we are asking for a large amount of young players and I thought they participated very well in the game.
