The kid needs help — Oliseh slams Mikel for being problematic
Former Super Eagles boss Sunday Oliseh emptied the clip on John Obi Mikel, a few weeks after the ex-Chelsea man called him the worst coach he ever played for.
Spain's flawless EURO 2024
Deployed in the ‘Group of Death', Spain were destined for an arduous path to victory. Luis de la Fuente's side made light work of Croatia, Italy and then Albania in the group stage, taking maximum points in all their games—the only team to do so.
They were then drawn into the tougher half of the knockout stage routes and had to beat Georgia, Germany, France and tonight, England, to lift the Euros.
Spain finished the competition as the best team in almost all major metrics. They are the top scorers in the tournament and also conceded the least number of goals.

What Oliseh said
The 49-year-old retired Nigerian midfielder, who famously scored a rocket against Spain at the 1998 World Cup, was deeply enamoured by the performance of the Southern European nation.
He named standout players from the squad, and he credited the Spanish team for filling him with joy.
“‘Magnificent 7’ Spain win 7 games in a row to become record European champions with 4 titles,” Oliseh tweeted. “Yamal, Williams Olmo, Rodri & coach De la Fuentes have given me back joy watching the European championship. What a Team, what a football philosophy with youngsters. By far the best Team.”
Meanwhile, Oliseh was recently a guest on a podcast in which he accused the current crop of Super Eagles players of lacking respect for their predecessors.
