Nigerian midfielder John Mikel Obi has heaped praise on his
girlfriend Olga Diyachenko saying she has supported him all the way. He
also said him winning a Bronze medal at Rio 2016 is a wonderful
achievement for
him and his family.
Mikel started dating Olga in 2013 and they have twin girls together. Speaking to UK Standard on Monday he said;
'I
was obviously very clear before travelling to Brazil that my target was
the gold medal. But to get the bronze is still an amazing
achievement.
'There was a celebration at the
hotel afterwards, we were all jumping around. Everyone was so excited. I
went to sleep last night with my medal beside me; I couldn't and didn't
want to let it out of my sight.'
'It really is a dream come
true for me, for my family, my two little angels - my twin baby girls -
my wonderful girlfriend, who has supported me all : the way.'
'First
off all I want to celebrate with my family, put it around my daughters'
neck, take pictures and make sure they get to see what daddy achieved.'
