Obi thanks Mancini for Playing him in his ‘ideal role’


The Nigerian midfielder Joel Obi has thanked his manager at Inter Milan,Roberto Mancini,for using him in his best part of the field during their 1-1 draw on Sunday.
Obi played in a different position from where he usually played,as he was part of a central midfield trio along with Zdravko Kuzmanovic and Fredy Guarin, just behind Mateo Kovacic.
“That is my ideal role but I honestly enjoy any role where I can run and attack the space,” he said to Rai Sport.
Obi also mentioned how the coming of Mancini to the Inter Milan has helped the club,he said, “The coach continues to ask us to play the game simply, with one and two touches and to pass quickly,
“We are a team that certainly have room for improvement but we are one who aim high.”
