Former Super Eagles Coach, Samson Siasia, has lectured Chelsea midfielder, Mikel Obi, on how to score more goals for his Club and the Eagles.
The former Eagles boss also offered this advice for Mikel: “There is no doubting the fact that Mikel is a talented footballer, who has the quality to be a super star in football but he must continue to work hard and try as much as possible to join the attack.
“If he continues to find himself in good position in the opponent rear to score and take his chances, he could get in a couple of goals for Chelsea and Nigeria.”
Siasia, it would be recalled gave Mikel his big break into limelight by featuring him in the Flying Eagles team of 2005 that won silver at the U-20 World Cup in Holland and Mikel eventually emerged the second best player of the tournament behind the Most Valuable Player, Lionel Mess.
Siasia said that nobody should be blamed for Mikel’s lack of goal instinct while playing for club and country, adding that the player must at all time try to find a space for himself in the attack in order to get the goals.
He told The Eagle Online: “Firstly I am happy for Mikel to have broken the jinx of scoring for his club Chelsea and I hope this will propel him to get in more goals for his Club and Nigeria too.”
