Ex-Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel has opened up on why he stayed away from former teammate Diego Costa’s crazy jokes in the team’s dressing room.
Costa scored 59 goals and registered 21 assists in 120 appearances during his time at Chelsea from 2014 to 2017.
He was known for his ability to give defenders a hard time on the pitch of play.
Despite his antics on the pitch of play, the Spanish attacker was loved by his Chelsea teammates.
But Mikel Obi revealed that he kept his distance from Costa in the dressing room.
He said (via talkSPORT): “How long have we got? Crazy, crazy guy. He [Costa] is a guy in the dressing room after training, you are sitting in the dressing room and Diego Costa is sitting there.
“He is looking at everyone walking around naked, trying to flick you with a towel, grab whatever he can grab. Yeah, he just goes crazy.
“That is what he does. Sometimes, when you see him in the dressing room, you just run out.”
