Mikel should change his defensive style — Nwosu
Heny Nwosu says Super Eagles midfielder, John Mikel Obi can truly achieve his potentials if he plays from the attacking line rather than playing as a defensive player. Mikel was at his best mettle at the just concluded Rio Olympic Games where he helped the Nigeria’s U-23 team claim Bronze medal after beating Honduras 3-2 in the third place match on Saturday. His contributions in terms of passes and creating chances for his teammates to score was one of the major highlights of Mikel’s outstanding display in Rio.
