Nigeria U-23 captain, Mikel Obi, has admitted that his team
mates didn’t play well in Wednesday’s Olympics football semi final clash
against Germany in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
With Nigeria missing the services of two key players in the
shape of Oghenekaro Etebo and Azubuike Okechukwu, the Dream Team struggled
against the Europeans, first conceding early in the first half, before Nils
Petersen grabbed a second goal with one minute remaining.
Mikel has admitted to the team not playing quite well in the semi final match and reiterated his dashed dreams of winning a gold medal. In his words;
“I wanted to win the gold medal, but the fact is that we did not play well today (Wednesday). The Germans played well,”
“We are professionals, we can now claim third place and this is what we will get. We want to give a medal to Nigeria. ”Here is wishing Team Nigeria all the best as they battle the Honduras for the third place.
