In an interview with JOHN EGBOKHAN of Vangurad Newspaper, 1980 African Nations cup winner, Henry Nwosu, Criticised Super Eagles of Nigerian and Chelsea FC Midfielder, John Obi Mikel. He was quoted as saying the prolific midfielder who was The MVP at the last African Nations Cup, as a negative footballer.

I did not mention Mikel’s name because the Chelsea player does not believe a midfielder can score goals. He is not adventurous and only adventurous and daring players can make the difference for their teams at the World Cup. Mikel likes making square passes and that cannot do us any good in Brazil. Mikel must stop his backward movement in Brazil or else, we will suffer from his actions. He plays negative football. He must change in Brazil. The era of playing backward has stopped and I am surprised that he has not changed.

The players I mentioned earlier are those who can win games for us at the World Cup and Mikel, unfortunately, does not fall into that category, unless he changes now.

It is always unfortunate that instead of attacking and creating chances for his teammates to score, Mikel is always giving square passes. Even if that is the pattern used by his club, when he comes to Nigeria, he must change to suit our style and quest for glory.”

Do you totally agree with him ?

  1. henry nwosu is a pathetic human being and a deranged fellow. what did he achieve in his own time? mikel won d nations cup for nigeria last year and he created d most goalscoring chances than anyone else in d tournament. if mikel was such d negative footballer this old man was talking about, he wouldn’t have lasted 8 seasons and still counting in chelsea.
