Mikel Obi: 'I Have Beaten Messi At Club Level, I Hope To Do It Again Today’ by Newsloft: 1:54pm On Jun 26, 2018 |
@NAIRATREND Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi has recalled that he had once beaten Argentina captain, Lionel Messi at club level and that he hopes to beat him again when Nigeria throws tackles with the La Albiceleste in their all important last group game on Tuesday. The match will be played at the Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg by 7pm (Nigeria) Mikel and Messi first crossed each other’s path in the final of the FIFA U-20 World Cup in the Netherlands in 2005 with the Barcelona superstar lifting the trophy and also best player of the tournament. Since then, they have met several times at the international and club levels with the Argentine captain having the upper hand most of the time. Mikel who now plays in China and Messi who has spent his carrier at Barcelona will rekindle their rivalry today when Nigeria and Argentina battle for a spot in the knock out stages. The Super Eagles sit in second position in the group with three points, while Argentina occupy last position with just one point. “I’m looking forward to it. It’s always a pleasure playing against Messi. I have played against him so many times, be it national team, be it at club level,” Mikel stated during a short video interview posted on ESPN. “Once in Chelsea, I managed to come out on top against him. In this tournament, I hope to do that. I hope the team will come out top against him.” GIST VIA - https://nairatrend.com.ng/i-have-beaten-messi-at-club-level-i-hope-to-do-it-again-today-mikel-obi-speaks/ 7 Likes

Argentina is in disarray, the coach doesn't command any respect, the players tell him what position they want to play, Messi is not talking to anyone etc. The good thing is we always loose to them by a goal and that's about to change today. Mikel should play in front of the defence as he does at Chelsea not as a forward because he doesn't have the pace, and he's nursing metatarsal injury. Ndidi and etebo are 2 of the best midfielders out there so Iwobi should please sit on the bench, watch the set pieces, hold for a 85 min draw then go for win at the death. Even though Croatia could field a poor team against Iceland, we must remember Iceland don't score a lot of goal. Good luck to Naija, we need this. 9 Likes |
