Why celebrating Mikel self? It. Sows that Siasia has no serious plans on how to do well in the tourney. Mikel ke! What does mikel bring to the team? Guarding ball abi ? Guarding ball ko guarding ball ni! Nemar in Brazilian side is clear about what he brings to the team though still within the age bracket do also pogba if France were to be there. But for Mikel.... I just dey laugh.Nigerians better prepare for aah! and ooh! For those with high BP better not put your mind there or else you be preparing for your obituary. O to!
ReplyDeleteMy brother,mikel may not be realy be a prodigy that we all hope he turns out to be,thanks to Jose who turn him to a defensive midfielder,still he brings to the team what very few does,balance. Some will be to do the dirty work for others to excel,mikel must b good to still be relevant for both club and country at 29. Also note that he remain one of the most decorated player this country has ever produced.
ReplyDeleteBalance ko Balance Ni! Others will do the dirty work for mikel to be most docorated abi? Most docorated on the bench.hahahaha! Keep deceiving unaself.
