Published: October 05, 2012
Super Eagles midfielder Joel Obi, who was reinstated to Inter Milan starting eleven in Thursday's Europa League clash with their Azerbaijani opponents Neftchi, celebrated by scoring after 30 minutes in what was his debut game this season.
The Nigeria international, named by coach Stephen Keshi in his latest roster for the African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Liberia in Calabar next weekend, celebrated his goal by leaping with somersaults reminiscent of ex Inter Milan golden boy Obafemi Martins.
Speaking to the official website of The Nerrazzuri, the 21 - year -old former NEPA, Lagos youth - teamer said: ''I never thought I would score so soon after returning from injury, but that made it feel all the more special. A difficult period that I've put behind me now. The coach and the club have faith in me and that's very motivating.''
Joel Obi has dedicated the goal to his family and to all his well-wishers who stood by him during his spell on the sidelines.
