TheSuperNerd:
One of the top reasons why I will forever regard Mikel Obi as one of the midfield greats of Nigerian football is his ability and talent to contend in midfield battles against Yaya Youre most especially in the biggest one at the Afcon in 2013 which definitely shocked Africa and most Nigerians.

Nigeria vs CIV Afcon 2013 Quarterfinals was a midfield battle for the ages. Mikel Obi alongside Onazi somehow managed to come out on top vs Yaya and co.

It wasn't easy against a complete midfield beast like Yaya.
I remember one of their battles in an AFCON before 2013. Men, it was like two elephants fighting. Mikel Obi and Yaya Toure gave an interesting game that day but Yaya Toure came out top. He even gave the long over head pass to Drogba that won the game. But, in 2013, Mikel Obi was ready for the show. Despite dominating the game with his intricate passing and movement, his positioning to restrict passing was also brilliant. Mikel Obi capped the show with his steal of the ball, stopping Yaya Toure's shot that would have tied the game.

Nice memories.

Victor Osimhen scored a brace against Kasimpasa today. This is the second time he nets a brace against them this season, but both times, the braces were not enough to save Galatasaray from 3–3 DRAWS against Kasimpasa! 😬

His brace today takes his league tally to 16 goals in 19 games, making him the second top scorer in the league, just behind Krzysztov Piatek who has 18 goals.

Victor Osimhen 🆚 Kasimpasa today:

🎯 2 shots on target
⚽ 2 goals scored
❌ 1 goal disallowed
👟 8/12 passes completed (67%)
🌐 2/2 long balls accurate
💪🏾 2/4 ground duels won
✈️ 4/8 aerial duels won
🌟 9.0 rating
👑 Player of the match

Tuface Idibia sang it in only me
"I know say e no be everybody e sabi play ball

bros go and read the reson why tuface had that line in his song, no b about wether mikel they refuse call up or not…
2006 afcon(was present)
2008 afcon qualifiers(was suspended in 2007 because una and una NFF no wan gree say he get injury)
2008 Afcon(person una suspend still came and was present)
2010 Afcon and World cup qualifiers (played 5games out of the 6matches)
2010 Afcon(was present)
2012 Afcon qualifiers (played 5games missed 1)
2013 afcon qualifiers (played both legged play off)
2013 Afcon(was present)
2014 WC qualifiers (he played everything)
2014 WC(he was there running the midfield with onazi)
2015 Afcon qualifiers (he played all games but we no qualify under keshi)
2017 Afcon qualifiers (was present the game away in egypt and home in kaduna he played both and other matches in that qualifiers under siasia)
2018 WCQ (he was present in all the games)
2018 WC(he was present)
2019 qualifiers he was already fading off super eagles cos new boys were springing up…Gernot rohr sat him on the bench all through Afcon 2019(maybe he played 1 game i can’t remember)


bros bottom line, a player that had 91 caps was never selecting games, so if he is injured he should come and kill himself and not excuse himself abi….im sure 10/15yrs from now una type will call Osimhen unpatriotic for his brawl with finidi…they wont do their findings they will just follow social media agenda

It was from Mikel Obi I started having a good understanding of watching players on a pure tactical level. I feel he soaked knowledge from watching a player while young. I suspect Paul Scholes. Either way, knowledge was soaked.

Keep soaking knowledge.

im so happy for victor osimhen a direct product of Nigeria’s youth team in 2015 and he has remained relevant for 10 years running
started his club career on a slow start playing just 14 matches in Germany, move to Belgium and started tearing nets, graduates to France remained high flying, upgraded to Italy to shatter record, now combing turkey…in this space of 10years some 1season wonder striker go don fade off “HARD WORK+ TALENT”

till today FIFA never still see who go break him 10goals record set at u17…if Osimhen get signed for team with high pedigree like
Madrid
Barca
Mancity
Chelsea
ManU
Juve
PSG
Bayern Munich….na to just dey win UCL and League cups back to back

There are thousands of Osimhen on the street pls NFF wake up….sadly osimhen has not played at the FIFA world cup, if not for his inconsistency at Wolfburg he would have gone to the 2018 WC

You are the one rewriting history, cos the rumor then for this line was because Mikel snub 2face in London,which I think Mikel even clear the air of recent. It has not to do with Mikel refusing call up.

Torreira and Yilmaz.

The coach's substitutions were stupid too. Bringing out Mario Lemina that was working offensively and defensively was plain stupid.

The fans are complaining bitterly now, saying if not for Osimhen, the dream of winning the league would have been over for Galatasaray by now. The defense was just too poor. Sallai was not in the match. AC Milan just scammed them with Morata..lol

Once he fixes this his offside wahala he will be an even greater menace.
