Lokomotiv Moscow, Brian Idowu has shared his unforgettable moments at the just-concluded 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The left back said he will remember for a long time a personal duel with Barcelona’s Argentina striker Lionel Messi.
The former Amkar Perm defender also thanked his other Super Eagles teammates for assisting him to limit Messi’s impact in their last Group D fixture at the Krestovsky Stadium.
”For life, I will remember, of course, the game against Messi (Argentina).
“He made me prepare for the match even more seriously,” Idowu told fclm.ru.
”Fortunately, the teammates helped, rarely leaving me alone with him, but when such cases were, he tried to play as tightly as possible.
”The base of our team was in Yessentuki – we were well supported after the victories, and after the defeats.
”At an open training session, people filled the whole rostrum, shouted to Moses, Musa – the latter in Russia is adored!”
