Former Chelsea star, Mikel Obi has shared his perspective on Victor Osimhen’s recent online outburst at the former Super Eagles coach, Finidi George. Osimhen came under serious criticism for lashing out at Finidi on the internet.
The forward was disappointed at the coach, who allegedly questioned his commitment to the national team.
Mikel said Osimhen’s frustration was understandable, but acknowledged that respect must be mutual.
In his words, “Every time I speak to him, he’s very humble, respects people. As I said, respect is reciprocal. I respect you, you respect me. I think this situation with the Nigerian coach, where he blew out, he just felt it wasn’t fair because the manager didn’t protect him, Mikel said on Obionepodcast.
“He said he had a conversation with the manager, everything was recorded, and the manager just threw him under the bus.
“He was really pissed off, so he came out to defend himself. Maybe the way he did it wasn’t the best, but he had the right to speak out. I have nothing against Victor [Osimhen] for that, and knowing your worth isn’t arrogance.”
