Former Chelsea midfielder, John Obi Mikel, has revealed why he stayed away from Chelsea teammate Diego Costa’s crazy jokes in the dressing room.
Costa was known for his ability to give defenders a hard time.
The former Chelsea marksman scored 59 goals and provided 21 assists in 120 appearances across all competitions during his time at Stamford Bridge from 2014 to 2017, but despite his antics on the field, he was loved by his teammates.
However, Mikel Obi revealed that he kept his distance from the former Atletico Madrid star in the dressing room.
“How long have we got? Crazy, crazy guy. He 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.”
