Under Coach Siasia, Mikel Played the defensive role that shot him into limelight at the 2005 Fifa U20 World Cup in the Netherlands.
“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.
