Words that have not gone unnoticed with certain legends of African football which did not hesitate to react and load it strongly.
“CAN is the pride of Africa! Today in Africa, you pronounce Jamie Carragher, people will believe that you are talking about a brand of ketchup or mustard. It is therefore normal that you lack respect for the largest tournament in Africa and all these great African footballers who made their contribution to world football and to the whole continent. You need that to exist and make yourself known. When you have nothing to say, you close it, “ A-declared the former Senegalese international El Hadji Diouf on her Instagram account.
Obi Mikel Raised against Carragher
Same story for John-Obi Mikel. The former Chelsea midfielder and CAN winner with Nigeria in 2013 did not appreciate the words of the former Three Lions defender.
“For him, this tournament is shit, shit. It has no value because it is not the euro or the COPA America. He can go fucking! He has never won the Premier League, he analyzes teams saying what they are missing to hang the title but he never did it! He also does not know what it is to win with the national team (…) It is so disrespectful what he said, and it comes from someone who has never won the slightest international competition. »» The message is more than clear.
