PHOTO:Mikel Obi: my Rio Olympic dream was to come home with a gold medal, but bronze was what i got at the end...bronze is amazing still...
The so called Dream
team Captain who was unable to motivate the team and show leadership in most of
the games, especially the game against Germany in the Semi finals in the just
concluded Rio Olympic games, John Obi Mikel, feels they should have gotten
gold!...like seriously?...oh please my nuts hurts so bad from this ridiculous joke...what
a comedian! Even the sport minister can do better...
The player was
quoted to have said:
“When I woke up in my hotel room on Sunday
morning, I opened my eyes to see my Olympic bronze medal lying there beside me.
“It just hammered Captain Mikel home to me what I had achieved with the rest of
my Nigeria team-mates the day before.”
“We conceded two late goals and all of a
sudden it looked like everything was going downhill. They made us sweat a bit
and we were relieved to come out victorious.
“I was obviously very clear before
travelling to Brazil that my target was the gold medal.
But to get the bronze is still an amazing
achievement. “It was great to have something to show for it and we all thanked
each other. “I went to sleep last night with my medal beside me; I couldn’t and
didn’t want to let it out of my sight.”
