Former Super Eagles midfielder, John Mikel Obi, has revealed why he was always terrified to play against Ivory Coast legend, Didier Drogba.
Mikel Obi and Drogba played together at Chelsea in the Premier League and won many titles together. But they faced each other a few times at the international level.
One of those came at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
In a video shared on CAF’s online social media, Mikel Obi said he was scared of Drogba because the striker is a great goal scorer.
“Obviously, the player I never wanted to meet, that I was lucky I didn’t meet quite a lot, was Didier Drogba. You know, I was always scared of meeting him. Because I knew at some point in the game he would score,” he said.
