Mikel Is A Bad No 10 - Jose Mourinho
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has stated that Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi is a bad 'No 10' for Nigeria at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Mourinho who coached Mikel when they were at Chelsea has given his opinion on the best position that suits the Super Eagles captain.
Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr was criticised by several pundits such as Jay Jay Okocha for playing Mikel in the 'No 10' role as he lacked creativity in an advanced midfield role against Croatia.
Several other observers that reacted to the Super Eagles loss have suggested that the Super Eagles captain be brought back to a withdrawn role for the subsequent group games against Iceland and Argentina.
Mourinho who tipped the Eagles to progress beyond the group stages gave his opinion on Nigeria's defeat to Croatia while working as a pundit for Russian TV station, RT.
Mourinho echoed the statements of Okocha by saying that Mikel is good as a defensive midfielder rather than in as the creative hub of the team.
He said, “Nigeria lost a good No.6 to get a bad No.10.”
