Manchester City young midfielder, Chidebere Nwakali, has revealed how Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi helped him settle in with the team for the games against Algeria and Argentina.
Nwakali, who can also function at right-back, was part of coach Gernot Rohr’s squad for the games.
He was one of the two players who did not feature in both games.
“It felt good playing with you [Mikel] much respect more blessing and more to learn from you @mikel_john_obi thanks for your advice much respect up,” Nwakali wrote with a picture of himself and Mikel in the dressing room.
He added, “It was a nice experience seeing some of my former teammates in the junior national team here again in the senior national team. It is a thing of joy that we have progressed this far in our career.”
The former U-17 and U-20 international has scored three goals from 25 appearances as a midfielder with Sogndal Fotball in Norway this season.
