Okocha, in his traditional style of showboating, stunned fans and players of the team with some amazing skills just before kickoff. “I still follow the team’s performance.
I’m jealous of the players that are here today, it must be a dream to play in this team now,” Okocha said in an interview.
“The current owners have invested a lot of money, but brought stability and ambition. Today, Paris Saint-Germain is in its rightful place. “I’m proud to call myself a Parisian and happy to see the team right at the top of the game,” he added.
Okocha, who played in PSG for four years between 1998 and 2002, scored 23 goals in 84 matches for the Ligue 1 club including a debut goal against Bordeaux. He is the current chairman of the Delta State Football Association (DFA).
I really wish he won the African Footballer of the year, but no matter what he still is the greatest footballer ever. Ronaldinho still uses his skills. Check out the kind of united love and appreciation shown to JJ. Not even the most liked or richest politician in Nigeria can have 100% positive comments or reception. This shows that a good name and personal sacrifice for humanity is better than filthy riches.When will our Nigeria produce his kind again, his kind comes once in a life time, thank God I was born when JJ mesmerised his opponents with his skills.
I salute u sir.
