Sunday Oliseh calls out Mikel Obi, says, play in defensive midfield or you are out

I have asked this question over and over again, on TV on Radio, just for anyone who cares to give me a valid reason to answer but nothing yet. The question is, 'why does Mike Obi, play as a creative midfielder for Nigeria's super Eagles?' In fact, the best answer someone could give me was because 'we don't have anybody to play it better'. Just, can you imagine!

Anyways, while my opinion isn't the subject of this article, I am glad that Coach Sunday Oliseh in all his controversies has boldly put out this statement addressing this issue.

While speaking ahead of a number of international games coming up, Oliseh addressed the Chelsea midfielder's role in the team. While it is important to note that the player featured for the then U20 coach Samson Siasia at the 2005 FIFA U20 World Cup in the Netherlands where he came second to only Lionel Messi as the MVP.
It was also the tournament that launched him onto the global stage, resulting in a career threatening tug-of-war between a Sir Alex Ferguson Manchester United and a Jose Mourinho Chelsea.
Speaking in air, Oliseh said:

“With the national team, it’s not what you want that matters, it is what will bring us results,”said Oliseh in a radio interview. “If you don’t want to do that, I will play players who want to help us, like I did against Swaziland. My personal opinion is that he should be given a more central defensive role, like (Guus) Hiddink is using him. He should be the umbrella for the two central defenders,” Oliseh said.
