Mikel Obi heaps praise on Pogba

Following the second round clash of the Fifa World Cup between Nigeria and France on Monday which ended 2-0, Super Eagles midfielder John Mikel Obi has heaped praise on Les Blues and Juventus star Paul Pogba.

Barcelona legend slams Chelsea boss

Former Barcelona star Johan Cruyff has hit out at Chelsea's Jose Mourinho for his attitude towards his own players.

Mourinho, 51, tends to be overly critical of his side - as he  repeatedly stated that his side cannot be considered among the Premier League title challengers this season, despite sitting second in the table.

The Portuguese manager, following the defeat at Paris last week and typically before that, have lambasted the performances of his strikers and branded his side's defense as 'ridiculous' - an act of his that causes dressing room division, just like in Real Madrid.
