Mikel Obi kicked against the introduction of Ramon Azeez in place of the injured Ogenyi Onazi during the round of 16 match against France, a top team official has specially told AfricanFootball.com Almeria midfielder Azeez was preparing to come in for the injured Onazi, when within moments coach Stephen Keshi asked Reuben Gabriel to come in instead for the Lazio youngster.

“Mikel made it very clear to Keshi that he did not wish for Ramon to play alongside him in the midfield and that was why Azeez was asked to sit down and in his place Reuben was brought in,” a top team official informed AfricanFootball.com

The player power Mikel wielded in the Super Eagles was such that coach Keshi asked the midfielder if he wanted to be replaced during the Bosnia-Herzegovina match after he appeared to tire.

“Should it be the player or the coach who should effect a substitution?” asked a baffled top official.

I don't believe this.Keshi of all people.

He's an ex-international if you don't know.He will have a player determine who he substitutes?

The reason why Mikel kicked against the introduction of Azeez was because of the physicality of the game. Ambrose had a bad knock from Matuidi and Ambrose found it difficult to keep up with the game. Next, Matuidi took out Onazi after two dangerous tackles.

As soon as I saw Azeez preparing to come in, I screamed, "NO!"

So when Mikel refused Azeez coming in, I was happy because Matuidi would have torn him to shreds.

Yes Keshi makes the final decision but Mikel was his general on the field and Coach Keshi listened to Mikel's advice because Coach Keshi trust his judgment.
