Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has shared why he avoided the wild antics of his former teammate Diego Costa in the dressing room.
Costa, known for his fierce play on the field, scored 59 goals and provided 21 assists in 120 appearances for Chelsea between 2014 and 2017.
Despite his on-field intensity, Costa was a favorite among his Chelsea teammates.
However, Mikel Obi revealed that he preferred to steer clear of Costa’s antics in the dressing room.
The former Super Eagles midfielder humorously recounted his experiences (via talkSPORT):
“How long have we got? Crazy, crazy guy. He is a guy in the dressing room after training, you are sitting in the dressing room and Diego Costa is sitting there.
“He is looking at everyone walking around naked, trying to flick you with a towel, grab whatever he can grab. Yeah, he just goes crazy.
“That is what he does. Sometimes, when you see him in the dressing room, you just run out.”
